Painting

Curricula of the Department of Painting are aimed at broadening cognitive, creative and technological capabilities of each student, with a focus on their individual sensibility and creative intention. By using contemporary materials and studying new concepts in the organization of elements of art, and by examining their relationship with the tradition of classical painting, the objective is to form a personal artistic expression and allow complex understanding of the phenomenon of the painting in a broad sense. The compulsory part of the curriculum includes fields such as drawing, painting, evening nude drawing, painting technology, art form, anatomy for artists, history of art, aesthetics, art aesthetics and technology of wall painting (fresco, mosaic, sgraffito decoration). The structure of the study program at the Department of Painting allows students, in the spirit of the Bologna process, to independently choose various elective courses such as those in the field of history and theory of art, as well as to acquire knowledge and develop skills in multimedia. During the studies, students acquire fundamental competences for independent artistic work, and for work in institutions of culture and professional associations.
