STUDIES
Painting
Bachelor studies of painting last four academic years. Since painting is one of the oldest art media, studies in drawing and painting techniques happen gradually and systematically. In the first and second year of studies, students are accommodated to traditional academic approach drawing the models on big-format papers, applying different drawing techniques (pencil, charcoal, pen, and ink), painting techniques (tempera, watercolors, pastels), and wall painting techniques (fresco and secco). Juniors and seniors improve oil and acrylic painting and research their own thematic approach. As the Academy of Arts cooperates with colleges and institutions in the regions and beyond, the possibilities are open for student exchange, educational workshops, art programmes, and solo and collective exhibitions.

STUDIES
Intermedia Art
Intermedia Art offers a gradual improvement during the four years of studies. After the completion of studies, young artists are ready to actively participate in the contemporary art scene, in country and abroad. In the first and second years of studies, students do research and improve themselves in tradition and new media art approaches, while as juniors and seniors, they conduct individual art research and become original artistic personalities. The whole teaching process in the third and fourth years of studies are accompanied by comparative methods of knowledge tests, carried out in the forms of workshops with the students of other universities from Europe and the regions. Continual cooperation is implemented with the Grey School of Art in Aberdeen (Scotland), Bauhaus University in Dessau (Germany), the University of Art in Poznań (Poland), and the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade (Serbia). We carry out our permanent cooperation with the region by means of workshops, public performances, and exhibitions in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska, Banski Dvor Cultural Center and other independent Institutions and cultural centers.
