My Project

Leatherworking skills hold significant value in a High School Visual Arts class, offering a unique blend of craftsmanship and creativity. This hands-on discipline cultivates patience, precision, and attention to detail as students navigate the intricacies of working with leather. Beyond honing technical abilities, leatherworking fosters a deep appreciation for traditional artisanship, connecting students to historical crafting methods.

Through the creation of leather art, students not only refine their motor skills but also explore the symbiotic relationship between functionality and aesthetic appeal, fostering a holistic approach to artistic expression within the realm of visual arts.

Moreover, it encourages resourcefulness by utilizing a natural and versatile material.
