| Abstract | ||
| Coins, with their aesthetics, are one of the elements of heritage, as they carry in their form and form previous heritage and civilizations, which constitute an important aspect of human culture. Where heritage is one of the most important sources that are taken in most fields of art education as a balance of artistic and technical expertise, which carries many connotations and intellectual premises that can be studied through the study of plastic solutions useful in the field of tourism souvenir production, especially in the field of sculpture. The coin carries artistic values derived from the fragrance of history and is characterized by multiplicity and variation in terms of material, shape, shape, size, and tactile richness, as evidenced by prominent historical drawings and inscriptions. The use of these coins, with all their previous characteristics, requires a great deal of experimentation, know-how and awareness to work with them, whether on the part of the learner or the teacher, leading to creativity. In the current research, coins are used as a key element in the formation of some experimental practices using many manual techniques of prominent sculpture and metal casting technique in line with the thought and philosophy of art education, which calls for the importance of manual formation, handicrafts compete with automated manufactures because they are characterized by creativity and art, so that they have become competitive with modern manufactures from several aspects, the most important aspects of workmanship, and the thought and foundations of those works are based on plastic and aesthetic in plastic formulations characterized by aesthetic values. The research is experimented on third-year students in the Department of Art Education, Faculty of Specific Education, Alexandria University, in order to encourage and motivate young graduates to establish small projects. Craft industries are closely related to tourism, as the tourist demand is a fundamental and important factor in activating crafts, as the tourist benefits through his dealings with the centers of production of handicrafts to identify the cultural and social situation of society and transfer this to his country, and through that the tourist movement increases and the return from it to the homeland increases in improving the economic situation and advancing it to the required levels. Handicrafts compete with machine manufactures because they are characterized by creativity and art. The field of sculpture is one of the most attractive artistic fields for small handicraft projects, as sculpture is a handmade product made with local or imported raw materials produced by local craftsmen to create a work of art that bears the character of the country that produced it and is linked to the environment, customs and traditions or heritage and reflects the culture of society. It is also a beautiful and exciting art, and a science in its own right, with its own theories and scientific applications. | ||
