Every 1–2 weeks
The Specialist Instructor
A new ultra-specialist arrives on-site. Not a generalist teacher — an active professional deployed to teach their specific superpower. Hard surface mechanics one week, cinematic lighting the next, creature anatomy the week after.
Rotating — Weekly
Every Monday & Friday
The Mentor Bridge
While guest instructors rotate, your support system stays constant. Lead mentors are on-site every Monday and Friday — connecting the dots between modules, correcting patterns and making sure nothing gets lost between sessions.

Core Sync
Exclusive evening events in Paris. Artists and recruiters from the best local studios — talks, networking, industry access before you graduate. Who said Fortiche?

Film Nights
Cinema evenings dedicated to analyzing masterworks of cinematography, lighting and visual storytelling. Not passive watching — active deconstruction.

Game Breakdowns
When a major title drops, we run analysis weekends. We play, then we dissect — art direction, design mechanics, visual choices. Current standards, decoded.

Questions & Answers
Emilie offers 1-on-1 sessions focused on:
What is ConceptCore?
ConceptCore is a new way to learn concept art. We’re building the pillar of concept art education, bringing together the best artists in the world and the entire community. You’ll find something at every level and price point: free content, short online courses, deep-dive mentorships, and full academy programs.
Who is ConceptCore for?
ConceptCore is for ambitious concept artists at any stage from beginner to professional, as long as your goal is to work in the entertainment industry (games, VFX, film). If you’re tired of hobbyist tutorials and want training that treats you like a future pro, you’re our people. Our students typically aim to build a studio-ready portfolio and land roles in concept art, visual development, or illustration for production. Whether you’re self-taught and need structure, a student fresh out of school, or even a junior artist looking to level up, you’ll fit in as long as you’re serious about improving.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of securing a place before the cohort is full.
