History of buildings
The School of Fine Arts as a wide range situated opposite the Louvre Museum in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Pres , whose buildings are spread over two acres, between rue Bonaparte and Malaquais dock , and date from the seventeenth , eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and even some parts of the twentieth century.
The oldest building is the chapel and its adjoining buildings, high in the early seventeenth century the convent of the Petits-Augustins. It was in this chapel, called the chapel of praise, that Queen Margot , and Catherine de Medici meet one of the first collections of works of art in Paris. Eventually the place was designed by Alexandre Lenoir ( 1761 - one thousand eight hundred thirty-nine ) during the period of the Revolution to store works in danger of destruction, as the tombs of the kings of France in Saint-Denis. During the First Empire , there was created the Museum of French monuments with elements of French sculptures of the most remarkable. Upon closing the museum in 1816 , places are allocated to the School of Fine Arts, but many elements of the collections are still there, as a series of copies of famous sculptures.
The architect Francis Debret ( in 1777 - 1850 ) is responsible for new construction. He built the first building of the lodges, essential to the functioning of competition, and begins the Palace of Education. His pupil and brother- Flix Duban ( 1,797 - 1872 ) succeeded him in pursuing the construction of the Palace of study and conducting the exhibition building ( room Melpomene room and Foch) Malaquais overlooking the wharf. He arranged the course entrance on the Rue Bonaparte, chapel and cloister (of Mulberry Court) of the old convent. Duban reused architectural elements and decorative, sometimes disparate, remained in place after the dispersal of the collections of the Museum of French monuments , giving the whole unit indisputable. Among the most notable of these "reused", note the presence of many elements from the castles of Anet and Gaillon which arc placed between induction courses and honor, was part of the main facade Palace studies, until its dismantling in 1977. The work of Felix Duban is found, since heavily distorted.
It was in 1883 that the School will have its last major expansion with the purchase of the Hotel de Chimay and its annexes, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries , located at 15 and 17 Malaquais dock.
After 1945 , new three-storey shops, located on either side of the room called "The Melpomene" are designed by the architect Auguste Perret.

Buildings parasites and restorations
A recurring problem since 1969: the lack of space to study
After 1945 , new three-storey shops, located on either side of the room called "The Melpomene, whose halls of the secretariat, are designed by the architect Auguste Perret , smothering the old historic buildings, to try to meet the actual magnifying rapidly especially after 1968 (9 UP architecture in 1976). New premises were built on site, then complete extirpation of UP's historical buildings are made in places more remote and scattered, rue Jacques-Callot e Paris 6 , Rue de Flandre Paris 19. Late 1970s the building of study of the Cour des Loges was raised to two storeys. Of prefabricated buildings, even, were installed between the Palace of Education and the Hotel de Chimay in the 1990s. Little History Workshop Jeanclos George , located on the right rear flank of the Palace of the studies was destroyed in the same year 1990.
In 2007 five new shops have opened in Saint-Ouen (93): workshops on blacksmithing, ceramics, composite materials, mosaic and size.
Restoration Sites
In the years 1975 to 1985, the Ministry of Culture Heritage favoring him perform many restorations of the buildings 'historical': Because of large remnants of the former Museum of French Monuments and said "Museum of Fine Arts" :
- The court "Bonaparte" number of elements including architectural museum.
- The " Palace of Education ", which was located much of the Museum of study, its magnificent glass roof, walls painted with two staircases and large lecture halls.
- The "Court of the Mulberry" and galleries (restorations pitiful failing to take a decade due to their very poor quality).
- The courtyard of the Hotel de Chimay.
- The "Chapel", which during the 1970s, contained in reserve a portion of the former "Museum of Fine Arts," because the principle of the study by "copy" from work (originals or "copies faithful ") was virtually abandoned.
Administration and Pedagogy
History of its pedagogies
Operation before 1968
After the abolition of school Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture , and Royal Academy of Architecture in 1793, arts education is abolished and that of architecture is placed under the engineering section of the Ecole Polytechnique. Editor J.-N.-L. Durand , it gradually reduces the engineering science, while teaching the art form remains as private workshops where the eclectic style develops.
With the creation of the Institut de France in 1795, a school is reconstituted by the Academy of Fine Arts. A unique school together painting, sculpture and architecture is created on 1 Floreal V (April 20, 1797). The teachers are chosen by academics who also designate the administrative authorities of the school. They decide on topics and winners of the Prix de Rome. This traditional mode of operation is formalized with the Royal Order of 4 August 1819 which gives official status to the Royal School of Fine Arts .
In 1863, with the transformation of the Royal School in Imperial School, the influence of the Academy is reduced with the appointment of the director and professor in the department of the school. Preparatory workshops in schools and free courses are set up. Formal workshops are created in each of four sections. In the architecture, there are three (those of Alexis Paccard of Laisn Charles and Simon-Claude Constant-Dufeux ), but remain free workshops (there are 7 in 1907) .
This organization of the educational system is confirmed by Decree of 30 September 1883 , except the organization of the Prix de Rome and its preparation, which since 1871 are still under the responsibility of the Academy of Fine Arts.
The political and social movements of May and June 1968 to lead the Minister of Culture when Andre Malraux , to break with the Academism and calming political strife, to a radical overhaul this great school. It separates the architecture of other disciplines in creating the architecture of educational units (APU) over the whole territory, and they have since become the School of Architecture and in 2005 the higher national schools of architecture.
Reforms after 1968
From 1969 to around 1985 in all three disciplines, Painting - Gravure - Sculpture (PGS) studies were conducted on average over five years. Foreign students already graduated from the School of Fine Arts in their own country, taught to pass some value units (UV) does often stayed only two years for the DSAP.
The recruitment was done by competition: design, test in the chosen discipline, and especially a record of maintenance work previously done with a few professors of the School, the Jury. For nationals French , admission to ENSBA prepares often in other schools:
- Fine arts, municipal, regional (since mid-1970) (there has never been opposed to county school teacher training colleges and others)
- Private lessons particularly in the Paris region.
- Paris specificity: for young Parisians of modest, given that the City of Paris , despite a failed attempt in the 1990s, and the suburbs have never been schools of fine arts to welcome students to full time, they could go directly after the general education student of Fine Arts, to actually fall back on studies of applied arts.
The 1969 reform helped democratize school admission, recruitment of a highly selective (few tens of students), the school allowed for fifteen years to about 500 students per year to be admitted (about 600 admitted, including 200 directly in the workshop, for 1400 applicants).
To access the diploma, the student was free to take the time that suited him (this is very conducive to student workers) to attend the Diploma in agreement with the foreman he had chosen (and had agreed) after the 11 or 14 units of Values (UV), according to the sections, corresponding to as many lectures or workshop specialized, two UV the first year to be allowed to continue. Although studies were officially supposed to take place in five years, as there was no "years", or formalizing this section, therefore, the student artist could possibly lead a curriculum is a free workshop another, from one discipline to another and even move the different degrees corresponding to different disciplines.
Recruitment of teachers
Until 1985, the College of foremen, often very famous artist, was recruited by co-opting external or internal alumni, became assistants. Under the ministry of Jack Lang, the college recruitment was abolished for a choice made directly by the department.
Degrees awarded
From 1969 to 1991: There was only one degree, the Diploma in Visual Art (DSAP), with reference to the discipline. A graduate student of DSAP was therefore re-pass for the other two disciplines to obtain because the few UV specific. Until the opening of the faculties of Fine Arts DSAP was the highest degree existing artistic practice in France, and very popular with students, foreign artists. In the 1990s the DSAP was replaced by the Higher National Diploma in Visual Art 'DNSAPun degree grade 3, and masters were created.
Current organization
The Fine Arts are organized in workshops, unlike most other art schools that work for each course.
The duration of studies at the Ensba is three years minimum, a maximum of five years and one year post-diploma not required.
It comprises:
- first year multidisciplinary during the 1 st semester, students enroll in a workshop, based on meetings and exchanges they have had with teachers;
- two years of artistic training, practice and theory. This first cycle of 3 years is attested by a diploma;
- one year of experimentation and openness (internships, travel);
- a year of preparation of the diploma.
Since 2006, education was put to European standards and the school year is divided into 2 semesters punished by a mandatory minimum number of UA (Units of Credit).
The Media
Housed in the atrium of Building Studies, Media of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris is a clearinghouse specializing in contemporary art. Founded in 1989, the library has a fund composed of books, exhibition catalogs, artist monographs, French and foreign periodicals, subject files, audiovisual materials, digital photographs of student work documenting art from 1945 to days. The fund is open access for the most part and is designed primarily for students and teachers of the school is still open to any outside person who has completed research, academics, critics, artists .

The Library of Fine Arts
Methodical in the Catalog of the Library of the National School of Fine Arts in 1873 written by Ernest Vinet (1804-1878), first librarian of the school, he wrote: "Among the major public institutions including Paris honored, School of Fine Arts was at the end of 1862, the only one that had no library yet ... it was a pile of books inaccessible, unknown, it was not a library " .
Since the beginning of the school, there was no room to allow students to consult books, manuscripts, prints, drawings or architectural academy that the school has. They were deposited in the penthouse located above the gallery templates or in cabinets. Shipments of Rome were archived at the Library of the Institute.
Yet a library was provided on the plans of Francis and Felix Duban Debret as on projects for school teachers. In 1861, teachers of the school decided to create a reading room in the old gallery presentation of architectural models that were in the east wing of the Palais des Etudes.
Ernest Vinet librarian was appointed December 17, 1862. Felix Duban is responsible for this transformation with his advice. This setting is contemporary with the school reform of 1863. The new library opens its doors to students January 25, 1864. It is a rectangular room 20 m by 8.
In its report of 1863, Ernest Vinet presented the library and especially the furniture had to be created to receive some major papers and placed in two major thorns in the centerline of the hall: "The school has a large number of architectural drawings which form one hundred and sixty folio volume. It is one of those volumes that are not less than 1.70 m in height. What we are forced to devote their furniture on purpose. " The shelves are placed against the wall facing the window. Tables are placed in the center line, between the furniture to accommodate twelve to fifteen players. Under the windows were placed in pots with mobile medalists glass. Tables of the old Royal Academy of paint are placed on the walls.
In the 1940s, it became obvious that we must enlarge the library. In 1967, the library is enlarged a periodical room and a library for elementary school located in the north gallery of the Palais des Etudes. The library was renovated in 1975.
In the 1990s, the patronage of the Greek "Stratis Andreadis Friends" helped transform the current media library bearing his name. The library opened its doors in 1994.
