On Topcider, a little off the main intersections of Belgrade, in an idyllic house, there is a real artistic oasis, made up of students from the school (Educational and Creative Center) called "Art Centrala."

It is wonderful to actually step into these spaces, where generations from the youngest to adults create, who are there to spend at least some time creating and to be in direct contact with art. The atmosphere of togetherness, which implies companionship and exchange of mutual life experiences through the diligent mastering of painting problems, which each individual participant personally sets for himself, with the conscientious and dedicated engagement of the pedagogue, results in quality works of art, which will be presented in the gallery of the House of King Peter I.

These specific artistic communities are real oases in today's time, in which new fast technologies, instant life and lack of full, lived, emotions reign. That is why iconography, painting with classical techniques, oil and watercolor, as well as comics and drawings, are very interesting for the students of this school.

The possibility that there are participants of various ages in "Art Centrala" gives an abundance of interesting, interesting artistic solutions, which are often spontaneous, but delicately supported by the authority of the pedagogue. In learning, we insist on an individual approach during consultation and proofreading in working with students, what is right and best for them.

Hence the beautiful joy, healthy relaxation, and deep attention to the students' work that you feel when you enter this school. You carry with you individual impressions about the papers and their authors, as well as pleasant memories of meeting their professors.
