Abstract

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the concept of artistic extra-curricular activities and their various fields and their importance for university students. Among single-stage students and their teachers, extracurricular activities are any activity outside the classroom (the classroom) that is not concerned with the official curricula, and students have the right to choose in it and through which students acquire scientific expertise and skills.

In the era of the information revolution and facts, the role of universities is no longer limited to students’ acquisition of knowledge only, but many universities tend to pay attention to all aspects of the student (social, scientific, psychological, emotional, etc...) because he represents an integrated personality and is an effective element and has a role in society. The university is keen  On building his personality so that he is able to face life, and seeks to develop it in all its aspects.

          At the end of the study, we found that the artistic extracurricular activities contribute to the consolidation of artistic concepts and their awareness among students and provide them with experiences and the use of extracurricular activities in different fields have a positive impact on the development of work skills among university students, and these fields are (art of drawing, art of design, art of handicrafts  , collage art and others ...), and I recommend encouraging university students to perform artistic extra-curricular activities in various fields and to spread their culture among other students, and I see the need to develop a special program to carry out artistic extra-curricular activities according to a programmed plan that fits with the overcrowding of the academic schedule with courses, which does not allow  them to engage in this type of activities or the lack of sufficient time to practice their activities.
