Abstract

Small industries are one of the axes of economic development, and their role reflected in improving the standard of living, increasing growth rates, and reducing the burden on countries to provide government jobs. The current research aims to investigate the role of the arts in promoting self-employment as an alternative to government work and providing job opportunities for graduates in craft industries that contribute to economic development. In terms of development, some of the cornerstones of industrial operations are expanding the manufacturing process, developing the economy, absorbing renewable energies and the growing number of graduates, and utilizing local skills. The research methodology relied on the descriptive analytical method to study the effect of some technical courses offered by the Department of Art Education at King Faisal University in enhancing graduates' work in craft industries. The research sample consisted of 50 students. A questionnaire with 32 items distributed, covering three categories, proposals for developing craft industries, the role of craft industries in achieving development, and the role of plastic arts in qualifying students to work in the field of craft industries. The results revealed that the sample members were aware of the importance of self-evaluation. The findings of the study demonstrate that craft industries help to achieve development, and the participants expressed good attitudes toward self-employment and a desire to improve their abilities in the arts to manage craft industries more effectively.
