Programs:

The PASCA difference: Immersive. Dynamic. Transformative.

Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, Installations, Conceptual Art Courses.

Unique to PASCA’s study abroad program is our emphasis on integrating your experiences while here—whether they come from meeting a local merchant while on a walk in Brittany, or a response to a video installation at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, or through the prompts you are given through assignment in the studio—with the art you are creating. Our courses and workshops are crafted to help you distill this heightened awareness—bring this awareness to your practice, and, ultimately, give you a solid foundation for your life as an artist.

Here are a few particulars on our curriculum, course and studio design that we think sets our program apart from others:

* Our thematic, concept-driven approach is dynamic and multi-disciplinary
* Cultural Site Seminars are designed to take advantage of exhibitions that expand on the cultural and academic goals of the program
* Our size and low student-to-faculty ratio creates a mentorship experience, rather than traditional classroom delivery
* The experiential component of the curriculum permeates students’ work
* Our studios are constructed as flexible spaces, allowing students to work both independently and collaboratively

If so, you might be very interested in the classes and workshops of Pauline Fraisse, an established French artist who provides drawing and painting lessons in Paris.

Available in summer and year-round, we offer our fun and educational art classes and workshops to adults, artists, art students and children from all over the world.

Taught in English and French, they are suitable for beginner to advanced levels, and can be customized to meet your needs.

Our art lessons give you an opportunity to see Paris through a different lens, and to discover places full of beauty and culture that might go unnoticed by those simply following a guide book, or taking a standard tour.

Our art studio is conveniently situated in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, a trendy and artistic neighborhood on the Right Bank (North Side) of the River Seine.

Easily accessible by public transport, our studio is close to the metro stations Parmentier (Métro Line 3), Goncourt (Line 11) and Oberkampf (serving Line 5 and Line 9). 

Some of our art classes are held at the studio. However, most are outdoor workshops which take place in various areas of this vibrant city.
