About the Department
The Department of Arts was established in October 2012 after the division of the Department of Humanities into the Department of Philology and the Department of Arts. In the academic year of 2018/2019, the conditions for the organization of the Department of Arts were obtained with two departments: the Department of Musical Arts and the Department of Fine Arts.
The mission of the Department of Arts is to promote excellence in artistic, educational and scientific work in the fields of music, fine arts, drama and puppet arts, as well as music, fine arts, drama and puppet pedagogy. The aim of the Department is to increase the level of quality and intensity of artistic, scientific and professional work of teachers and students by initiating quality artistic and scientific projects and scientific and professional meetings with the greatest possible involvement of students, to offer the highest quality curricula and high quality of higher education in the field of arts in undergraduate and graduate studies of the Faculty of Education, expand the number of quality elective courses in the fields of music, fine arts, drama and puppetry, increase student involvement in project and extracurricular activities in various artistic fields, develop cooperation with other higher education institutions to ensure student mobility and teachers and train future teachers and educators for quality professional and creative work in educational institutions.
Within the Department of Arts, the idea was developed to encourage students of teacher and pre-school education to express themselves in various arts as much as possible and to publicly present their own works in the fields of music, drama, puppetry and fine arts. The result was the founding of the Academic Choir (2008) under the guidance of Asst. Prof. Vesna Svalina, PhD, creative working group Dje.V.E. (2008) under the guidance of Asst. Prof. Jelena Kovačević. M.A., and the EKTe Art Festival - art through education (2015) under the guidance of Professor Mira Perić. For the last ten years, students have regularly organized art workshops, art exhibitions and short music programs on for the Faculty Days, and also organized charity Christmas concerts during Christmas time.
Today, the Department employs eight teachers, four of them of artistic-teaching titles, one of scientific-educational title, two of teaching titles and one associate professor. The class is held by two more associate professors - one assistant and one lecturer. Teachers in the artistic and teaching professions are prominent artists in the field of fine arts and drama. Teachers who conduct music and music-pedagogical courses are primarily engaged in scientific research activities in the field of music pedagogy. All teachers regularly participate in scientific and professional meetings and in activities popularizing the science and the arts.
