The education system of the country places great emphasis on morals to create balanced people who master the knowledge and appreciate the values. However, the involvement of students in the symptoms of moral collapse caused by a lack of knowledge and appreciation of religion is a serious issue. As such, the medium of art is seen as being able to attract students to engage in preaching activities in strengthening religious appreciation. In addition to identifying the level of implementation of the art propaganda activities, this study also identified the values applied in the implementation of art propaganda activities in schools as well as the students' appreciation of those values. The results of the survey by distributing the questionnaire to 300 students from the National Religious Secondary School (SMKA) throughout the state of Kedah showed that the level of implementation of the preaching activity through the arts in the schools was high (mean = 3.30). The results of the study also found that the majority of respondents agreed that all 11 values listed were applied in the art education activities at the school. Overall, students' appreciation of values was high (mean = 3.24). The findings show that 10 dimension values are high level (min = 3.00) and one dimension values are moderate level (min = 2.95). Therefore, the application of values should be emphasized towards producing excellent and balanced students in academic and personal aspects.
