A recap of my first semester at ESMA Lyon, where I embraced the challenges of art school, life in France, and a structured daily routine after 10 years of remote work and travel. My classes included Volume Atelier (physical maquettes), Photography, Image Analysis (film composition), Anatomy (drawing), Technical Drawing (perspective), Visual Arts (art history), Color (acrylic painting), and French Language, plus a “van life” transversal week and some stop motion experiments.

I just applied to my dream program: the Erasmus Mundus Master in Children’s Literature, Media & Cultural Entrepreneurship. So I thought I’d share a bit about my journey, this unique interdisciplinary program across Europe, and my application.
