The Department of Art Education was established as a home department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo in 1972. The interdisciplinary character of the study program allows students to develop key competences, which constitute the basis for professionalism, innovation and originality in developing and applying ideas and concepts, both in artistic practice and in the practice of art education. The acquired competences will be used for systematic understanding of complex ideas and processes, integrating knowledge of the selected discipline of fine arts and methods of teaching visual art and culture of art. Students will be able to apply the acquired skills in an encounter with new challenges and within a broad interdisciplinary context, all aimed at improving the quality of their own creative strategies and practical and theoretical knowledge in the context of teaching. They will adopt professional values, i.e. a system of beliefs and views in the context of school, global and local community, and orientation toward critical consideration of the role of a teacher of visual art and culture of art with all social and moral responsibilities. The interdisciplinarity of the study program of the Department of Art Education, which has been a content-integrated program since the 2019/2020 academic year, is visible through the encounter between different fields and disciplines, such as painting, sculpting, printmaking, art form, methods of teaching visual art and culture of art, theory of art, history of art, aesthetics, pedagogy, psychology, didactics, inclusive education, etc., where contents of the listed courses allow and encourage development of artistic and educational thought. Upon completing studies, students will be able to work in a wide field of artistic and educational work. Besides acquiring key competences for educational work at all levels of education (primary, secondary and higher), students will be capable for independent artistic work and research, as well as for work in institutions of culture and professional associations. Fundamental competences are expanded in line with passed exams in elective courses.
