I am Dragana Kojovic, a visual artist and educator based in Lisbon, founder of Blue Art School Lisbon. I believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to build confidence, emotional balance, and creative freedom. My mission as an educator is to create inclusive spaces where every student can express themselves authentically through art. With extensive experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults—including learners with autism, motor difficulties, and diverse educational needs—I blend artistic creativity, inclusive pedagogy, and emotional development. I exhibit internationally across Europe and the United States, collaborate with galleries and art communities, and organize workshops, creative labs, and residencies. I also prepare students for international exams such as IGS and Fine Arts entrance assessments, helping many achieve top scores and successful admissions.
