Lorène Picard has been teaching for ten years, including at the Campus Fonderie de l'Image (Master’s programme in Creative Direction in Graphic Design) and in the Department of Visual Arts at the Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Étienne (undergraduate programme in Digital Arts and Master’s programme in Publishing). She has also directed a studio at ENSCI‑Les Ateliers, focused on introducing research methodologies and tools for designers.
        For the past five years, she has taught in the Research Master’s programme in Design at the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay, supporting students in developing both academic and practice-based research skills.
        Her teaching focuses on guiding students in the formulation of research questions, academic writing, and the development of analytical methods for studying visual and material corpora. She also introduces speculative and critical design approaches, including counterfactual histories, as well as research through design as a method for producing knowledge.
        Through interdisciplinary research projects, she encourages students to engage critically with contemporary aesthetic, cultural, political, and technological issues. As part of this pedagogical framework, students are invited to undertake placements in research laboratories from disciplines other than design, enabling them to work across different methodological traditions and broaden the scope of their investigations. She also teaches drawing, as well as graphic and editorial design in all its multiple dimensions.

Since 2025, she contributes to doctoral training by supervising PhD theses.
