Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo (Bosnian: Akademija likovnih umjetnosti Sarajevo / Академија ликовних умјетности Сарајево, acronym: ALU) is a faculty within the University of Sarajevo in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, dedicated to the fine arts.[2]

It was established in 1972 as a high-educational institution,[2] by eminent science workers, professors and culture milieu who were educated primarily in Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zagreb and have already been aclaimed artists at the time.[3]

History

Newly established Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo was located at the building of Pedagogical Academy in Sarajevo at first, and the object of today's ALU was first and only Evangelist church in the times of Austro-Hungarian occupation of BiH. The church was built in 1899 according to blueprints by architect Karlo Paržik, in Romanesque-Byzantine style—as the central underdomal building. Restaurated building was devastated at the beginning of 1992 i.e. at the start of Bosnian War. The object was proclaimed cultural-historical monument and is included in the list of protected objects by Institute for protection of cultural-historical and natural heritage.[3]

Muhamed Karamehmedović (art historian and first ALU dean), Nada Pivac (academic painter), Mersad Berber (academic painter), Boro Aleksić (academic painter), Alija Kučukalić (academic sculptor), Zdenko Grgić (academic sculptor) – are some names of famous professors-founders of Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo.[3]

As of December 2019, the Academy has 2,666[3] enrolled students since its establishment and by May 2012 it records 1,212 graduates of undergraduate study.[4] Postgraduate study started to exist in 1983.[3] There are 237 magistered students (M. A. degree).[3]

The Academy consists of six specific departments, with high number of choosable courses:[3]

  1. Department of Art Education
  2. Department of Painting
  3. Department of Sculpting
  4. Department of Printmaking
  5. Department of Graphic Design
  6. Department of Product Design

The Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo introduced Bologna educational system (4+1) in 2006/07 school year.[3]
