Aesthetics of Colored Surface Treatments and Their Application in Designing an Innovative Metal Medal to Meet Labor Market Requirements.

the research emphasizes the significance of surface treatment techniques in metalwork for enhancing aesthetic values, product quality, and resistance to environmental factors. Various methods, including enamel coating, electroplating, acid etching, and chemical oxidation, are utilized to achieve surface modifications that highlight the visual and functional qualities of metal objects.

From this standpoint came the idea of the current research, where students’ products of metal crafts were used for the fourth level, Department of Art Education, based on the course description for this level, as it aims to study the methods of treating metal surfaces that were used in the implementation of metal medals.

The research problem is how to benefit from the multiplicity of colored surface treatments and employ them in the implementation of new metal medals that meet the needs of the labor market.

The research aims to achieve aesthetic dimensions by combining colored surface treatments in metal artifacts that are suitable as productive artifacts that meet the requirements of the labor market. In addition to benefiting from the students’ artistic and technical skills acquired through the metalworking in producing crafts that qualify them for leadership in the field of small projects and meeting the needs of the labor market by linking the skillful and aesthetic aspects of their artistic products.

One of the most important results of the research is reaching aesthetic dimensions for combining colored surface treatments in metal artifacts that are suitable as production artifacts.
