This document discusses four murals/artworks by different Malaysian artists. It provides background on each artist and analyzes the concepts communicated in their pieces. The first mural, "Melting" by Cloakwork, addresses global warming. The second, "Single Mother" by Kenji Chai, depicts a mother's love. The third, "Rotan" by Tang Mun Kian, shows a rattan shop scene. The fourth, "Jimmy Choo" by Baba Chuah, commemorates the origins of the shoe designer. For each work, the document examines techniques used and communication concepts conveyed, such as conflict, perception, and non-verbal cues.
