The study on the design of mural paintings carried out at the Pusat Pemulihan Akhlak Batu Gajah (PPABG) is a collaboration between Fine Arts Studies, UiTM Perak Branch, Majlis Daerah Batu Gajah (MDBG) and PPABG, a mural production project with the theme "Membentuk Insan Produktif melalui Pendidikan Pencegahan”. The objective of this mural is to study the history of the development of the Kinta district in Perak, which was once rich in tin ore, and to produce mural paintings with the theme of history, tasks and rehabilitation activities carried out by PPABG. This study also employs a literature review approach, examining previous studies as supporting documents to guide its development. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by conducting research and planning, the design, drawing technique and evaluation and impact in collecting data to produce this project. The results of the analysis from this study found that there are various benefits obtained from the study that can be used by students, academia, art enthusiasts and the community. Finally, the murals at PPABG are not just decorative art but a rehabilitation tool that can improve the quality of the environment and the well-being of the community. Through positive symbols, harmonious colours, and motivational messages, murals can help individuals undergo the change process with more confidence and enthusiasm in the future.
