  Reforming art schools

  Cette journée d’étude souhaite aborder ces questions et d’autres qui touchent à la fonction même de l’enseignement ou des écoles d’art. Les écoles sont-elles le meilleur lieu de formation des artistes ? Doivent-elles nourrir la recherche ou le marché ? Quelle place peuvent-elles occuper au sein de la société ? Ces questions ne se limitent pas à la structuration des institutions ou aux programmes d’enseignement : il s’agit plus généralement de s’interroger sur ce que veut dire, aujourd’hui, enseigner l’art.

  What Art does in School / What Art does for Schooling

  Works of Art in Schools and Universities (1880-2020)

  On May 12, 1880, Jules Ferry, Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, created the Commission de la décoration des écoles, on the proposal of the Director of Primary Education Ferdinand Buisson. This commission was responsible for studying questions related to the decoration of schools by means of paintings, maps and drawings; the constitution of small artistic collections for school museums; the choice of series of engravings to be given as a reward to children. The creation of this commission thus fulfilled the wishes of Victor Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction during the Second Empire, who had declared: "I would like the walls of our 70,000 schools to be covered, from top to bottom, with images." The desire to bring art into school, not only through the teaching of drawing and later the visual arts, but also through the establishment of a harmonious environment and school equipment with aesthetic pretensions, will be pursued throughout the Third Republic. This effort was not abandoned, but continues today, extending to all levels of education, from kindergarten to universities.
