THE BUILDING On August 28, 1958, this National Art Gallery was created. This gallery is a legally recognised organisation that receives funding from Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan Malaysia on an annual basis. In order to hold its ancillary artistic events, this gallery has also received donations from corporate entities and sponsors. The main goal of the national art gallery would be to present exhibitions from within and outside the nation, to hold seminars, workshops, other arts competitions and activities, and to strive to expand its fixed collection, which currently numbers more than 2,500 works. This would be done in an effort to promote arts awareness and appreciation at the community level.

WHAT IS MONUMENT? A monument is a specific kind of building that was built specifically to honour a person or significant event, or that has significant cultural or historical significance to a particular social group. It may also serve as an example of historic architecture. The word "monument" derives from the Latin moneo, monere, which means "to remind," "to advise," or "to warn," as well as the Greek Mnemosyne. Allows us to look back on the past, which aids us in imagining the future. The word "monumental" is frequently used in English to describe something of remarkable size and strength, such as monumental sculpture. To refer to merely anything created as a monument or other work of mortuary art to honour the deceased.

NEW DIRECTIONS IN MURAL
NEW DIRECTIONS IN MURAL Charles Sprague Pearce: Religion Detail of Religion, mural in lunette from the Family and Education series by Charles Sprague Pearce, 1897; in the Library of Congress, Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C.

WHAT IS MURAL? A painting that has been applied to and made to blend with a wall or ceiling's surface. The word may appropriately refer to painting on fired tiles, but it typically excludes mosaic embellishment unless the mosaic is an integral component of the painting's overall design. The harmonious integration of the architectural features of the area into the mural is a defining feature of mural painting. While this technique has been used frequently since the late 19th century, some wall paintings are painted on substantial canvases before being fastened to the wall.

M u r al a r t is b e c o min g m o r e a n d m o r e w ell-lik e d in M ala y sia b e c a u s e: 1) it serves as a sup e r b p h o t o b a c k d r o p f o r lo c als a s w ell a s a t o u ris t a t t r a c tio n. 2) Develops as a draw for visit o r s w h o w a n t t o e n j o y t h e a r t s.
THE TECHNIQUE Murals are the only types of paintings that are really three-dimensional since they alter and incorporate a specific place. The most regard for organic architectural form can be seen in Byzantine mosaic art. On the other hand, the great Renaissance artists sought to convey a sense of illusionistic space, and the masters of the succeeding The Baroque period produced such extreme effects that the walls or ceilings appeared to nearly completely melt.
THE TECHNIQUE Mural painting's widespread public significance is its second distinguishing feature. A social, religious, or patriotic theme must be imagined pictorially by the mural artist in accordance with the wall's structural requirements as well as the notion being conveyed. Encaustic painting, tempera painting, fresco painting, ceramics, oil paint on canvas, and, more recently, liquid silicate and burnt porcelain enamel, are just a few of the methods that have been employed.

It may be a replica that is used historically, perhaps by being shown in a museum. In certain cases, the original didn't exist. It can be related to any method of granting permission for the public to use an image, including photographs, postcards, prints, miniatures, and full-size replicas that bear some similarity to the original item.

PURPOSES/ FUNCTIONS OF ART
WHAT IS ART? ART IS COMMUNICATION You need to look at a piece of art in more than just your eyes in order to get what it means. You need to learn how to perceive in order to truly experience art. To perceive is to become acutely conscious of the unique qualities of a visual thing through one's senses. An experience to which you give meaning is referred to as a perception. It is not necessary to speak English in order to understand what artists frequently say in their works of art. You can frequently feel what is being expressed in art in addition to being able to see it when you look at it.
T H E P U R P O S E O F A R T Personal Function Artists use their work to communicate their emotions. Social Functions Artists may create works of art to strengthen and improve the sense of identity that members of a family, community, or civilisation share (family portraits, uniforms for bands, celebration floats, costumes, etc) Spiritual Functions Artists may produce works of art to convey their spiritual convictions regarding a higher power controlling the course of life. An individual or a human community's shared views may be reinforced by art created with this intention (masks, temples for the gods in greece, etc) Physical Function crafters and artists People constantly develop new techniques for producing usable art. New materials are developed by industrial designers to make automobiles stronger and lighter (jewelry, building materials, cars) Educational Functions For the purpose of importing information, artists created artwork, including symbols painted on signs. Viewers might learn through their artwork (Bible stories on tapestries, stained glass windows with stories), and we can also learn about former lifestyles from historical artwork.
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN ART
MODERN MALAYSIA ART Malaysian painting must not consider itself in isolation from regional artefacts and architecture if it wants to retain its unique local identity. Modern Malaysian painting must forge connections with other traditional art forms as well as with other forms of visual art. The sole distinction is in the medium and artistic technique. As a component of human society as a whole, art must be understood in the context of its historical development and cannot simply be appreciated for its own sake. As a result, it needs to be interpreted historically. Undoubtedly, the values and worldview of the people in a certain society are reflected in a work of art. The most significant factor in developing a Malaysian identity in art is the interaction between world view or method of thinking and feeling, as well as form and substance, particularly in the Malaysian setting.
MODERN MALAYSIA ART •The arts are important in fostering national consciousness and a sense of identity among Malaysians. •Art forms are a means of conveying spiritual feedback to a society in addition to reflecting the ideals, weltanschauung, and aspirations of a civilization. Modern Malaysian art is distinct because it revolves around these three triangle-shaped points: -Islamic influence as the primary determinant -Indigenous Malay culture and aesthetic standards –Western and other ethnic groups' beliefs and artistic styles are interacting and influencing one another, resulting in works of art that have a distinctly Malaysian identity. 1971's Kongres Kebudayaan Kebangsaan. •These elements are pertinent to the three dimensions of values identified by C. Kluckhorn (1952) as: - Dimensions of modality - Dimensions of content - Dimensions of Intent
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MALAYSIA ART The evolution of modern Malaysian painting can be divided into three phases, notably The painters that laid the first stage level included Abdullah Ariff, Yong Mun Seng, Tay Hooi Keat, Lim Cheng Hoe, Khaw Sia, and Katherine Sim, all of whom were watercolorists. -The 1930s and the years following World War II. -Prior to independence and the 1950s. -Post-Independence and 1957.
