RAZVOJ LIKOVNE PEDAGOGIJE U KNEŽEVINI SRBIJI, KRALJEVINI SRBIJI, KRALJEVINI SHS I KRALJEVINI JUGOSLAVIJI

With the renewal of Serbian statehood in the 19th century, there emerged a desire to re-establish direct cultural ties with Western Europe. The interruption of cultural continuity during the Ottoman rule implied the renewal of basic Western European educational models. As a result of an insufficient economic development, a deficit in teaching staff, and the lack of an established national program, numerous problems arose in the establishment and development of Serbian visual arts pedagogy. The primary aim of this research is to highlight the history, characterology, and methodological principles in visual arts pedagogy during the formation period of the Serbian Principality, from 1815 to the cessation of the existence of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1945. Theoretical approach involves historical, cultural, sociological, and aesthetic methods and principles of research. The research results confirm the basic tendencies and guidelines in which visual arts pedagogy of the mentioned period moved. Autonomous contents and peculiarities of visual arts pedagogy are the consequences of the then Serbian culture polarized between Balkan traditionalism and modern Europeanism.
