Programme modules
The school provides students with their own personal work space (studio) from the beginning of the specialised (BA hons) programme in their second year. The theoretical and practical part of the study are strongly intertwined.
Foundation Studies in Art and Design
This programme is intended to help students reveal their creative potential and achieve a clearer vision of their specialisation with the possibility of continuing with courses at A.V.A. or at similar British or national higher education institutions.
Fine Arts
The interdisciplinary three-year study of fine arts enables a flexible approach to fine art with strong consideration to the fast changing cultural and social environment of today’s post-industrial era. The focus of the fine arts programme is to provide a solid foundation in the visual arts and to build a broad based fine arts experience with an emphasis on idea/concept development.
The programme promotes research of possible approaches in all useful visual disciplines, such as: painting, sculpture, installation, photo media, digital imaging, video/film, performance art, etc.
Conceptualisation of Space
Also a three-year programme, based on art practices that combine fine art (mainly painting and sculpture), architecture, film, video and theatre. Students are encouraged to take full control of visual and other perceptual aspects of production with the possibility of expression through different realised forms and contents. The course is a combination of new theories and technologies and well-established practices, such as: objective drawing and modelling, making of storyboards, scale models and technical plans, and digital imaging.
Tutorial staff and personnel
The Dean of the A.V.A. Institute is award-winning film and theatre set designer Pepi Sekulić. Recent lecturers in theoretical courses have included Željko Hrs (History of Theatre), Tevz Logar (History of Art), Jaka Bonča (Art Theory).
Partners
As an independent private institution, A.V.A. Institute relies on relationships with partner artistic businesses and institutions and donors. These relationships help to improve the institute's programme and enable better conditions for its students. Among its partners are GigoDesign and the Pristop advertising agency. Among its donors is the Information Office of the European Parliament.
