>>(we have a different set of educational ranks here: teacher teaches grades 1-4; lecturer 5-8, professor 9-12 and college; likewise, kids in kindergarten are just kids, no rank; grades 1-12 they are learners (aka pupils or disciples), students are only college students - try to say "elementary school student" in Serbia, and you'll get some laughs, because you described someone who's college age yet still in elementary)

You should have guessed that I'd return to my almost forgotten art of literal translation. "Likovne umetnosti" - where lik is a likeness, an imago, a character. IOW, painting, though she first insisted on drawing. Then during the preparatory course (private teacher, running a small studio with a few students) she got to like the painting as well. And she's doing fine - you can see some of her stuff on http://fungalartist.blogspot.com/, but she stopped maintaining it after moving to Belgrade (the scanner is too bulky to carry, and when she gets home there's everything else but scanning to do :).
