My name is Emily Lorna. I am a textiles student from Huddersfield,UK, but I am currently studying in France in a city called Besancon. I am based at the Ecole Regionale Des Beaux Arts De Besancon, the school is very different from the structure of an English art school. The set up of the courses are far more relaxed and easy going than those of English ones. Which is good in some ways but also for English students coming over to study confusing because it is such a contrast. The range of things you can study is very good, with things such as Sculpture to typography, the options are mind numbing.
Whilst I am here I will be studying Photography, Etching, bookmaking and also learning how to set up exhibitions professionally. The tutors here are very friendly and helpful, for those who come to France not speaking much French (me included) they are very patient and willing to speak to you in English as long you make an effort with the French too. The student's are friendly most of the time sometimes you get the odd person who, doesn't want to bother with you because you don't speak much French but that is not the general rule at the school. When in town it can be difficult to communicate with some of the locals because they can be a bit particular with the way you pronounce the words in French, if you say it a bit wrong they can be rude and refuse to speak to you but it doesn't happen often. Usually people are polite and happy to help.
