Introduction

Documents d’Artistes Bretagne is a resource for educators. You will find rich and up-to-date information on the practices of the visual artists of today. The purpose of this page is to guide you through the site and to list different uses that could be helpful to you.

The discovery of contemporary artworks allows one to approach, through the lens of art, the major issues of our contemporary societies. The resources on our site can help you in the construction of your classes or in the creation of art education projects, regardless of the age of the students, from kindergarten to university.

The purpose of this page is to guide you through the site and to list different uses that could be helpful to you.

- References page : In the artists’ files, each artist is invited to share references to their work and views of their workspace. (Note: Not all of the artists have already completed their page.)

- Filmed portraits of artists : DDA Bretagne produces video portraits in which, in the studio or elsewhere, an artist presents his works and his way of working. These portraits make it possible to access “without filter” the artist’s words and approach to their work, as well as the modes of production of their works.
