The Public University which he attended in Belgrad.

History of the University

 
Beginning of education in the field of arts in Serbia


University of arts in Belgrade unites four arts faculties – Faculty of music arts, Faculty of fine arts, Faculty of drama arts and Faculty of applied arts. First community of these institutions was formed on 10 June 1957, when the People’s Assembly of the People’s Republic of Serbia adopted a Law on Arts academy, as the community of arts academies. Two decades later, on 21 May 1973, art academies grow into faculties of arts, and Arts academy becomes University of arts, the second independent University of Belgrade.

Sole faculties of the University have somewhat longer tradition.

High arts education starts with the establishment of first high education schools – on 31 March 1937 a Regulation was adopted on formation of Music academy (with drama section) and Arts academy (on which disciplines of fine arts were studied), members of expert commissions were named and creation of educational plans and programs was initiated, choice of educational human resources and preparations for admittance of first generation of students in the fall of 1937. By their foundation, these two high education schools were crowned by efforts of many engaged persons who worked on the establishment of arts education in our country.
From first ideas about arts schools (Dimitrije Jovanovic in 1845 on foundation of “Lively place of teaching”, private musical school of Milan Milovuk worked as a part of Belgrade singing society since 1853, and Acting school Aleks Bocvanski as a part of the National Theatre in Belgrade which began to work 1869) until the formation of high educational institutions a long path of development of arts pedagogy was crossed and significant results were made. Continual work was achieved only when Serbian drawing and painting school founded in 1895 (in 1905 it changes its name and becomes Arts-craftsmanship school), Mokranjac Serbian musical school founded in 1899 and musical school “Stankovic” founded in 1911. They are joined after First World War by Arts school and State theatre school with acting and ballet sections.

Aiming to develop film creativity, Committee for cinematography and the Presidency of the Government of Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia on the 5th of May 1947, adopts a decision for creation of High education school for film acting and directing. By the end of 1948 (26 November), Academy of applied arts was founded. Academy of theatre arts was founded by the Regulation of the government of FPRY on 11 December 1948. At the time, the Musical academy intensively developed where new sections where founded and the number of students increased.

In 1950, government of FPRY adopts a decision on joining the Academy of theater arts and High education school for film acting and directing into Academy of theater arts. From 22 December 1962 the Academy of theatre arts changed its name to Academy of theatre, film, radio and television, and in 1973 it changed to Faculty of drama arts.

University of arts in Belgrade promotes today artistic creativity and diversity as a brand of national culture of Serbia. With a wide specter of study programs from art fields, its educational human resources, as well as the artwork, University of arts in Belgrade still represents a cultural center beyond of the borders of the Balkans. As a part of Bologna educational process, we will contribute to development of European university of arts education.
