MANY believe boys are only good at sciences and mechanics, but a group of students from CMA Prevocational School have proved them wrong.
During the school's recent Drawing and Western Calligraphy Competition prize-giving ceremony, more than 90 pieces of drawing and western calligraphy were displayed.
The exhibits, including monochrome drawings, colour pencil drawings, water-colour paintings, posters and western calligraphy artworks, demonstrated the students' artistic talent and skills.
Edward Cheung Ho-keung is the winner of the Form 5 drawing competition and the open student poster design competition.
Ho-keung said he was not keen on drawing when he was in primary school. His art teacher always rebuked him for not turning in his work.
The turning point came when Ho-keung decided to drop his bad habit and hand in his drawings. His teacher was impressed by the quality of his work. Encouraged by his teacher, Ho-keung started to develop a strong interest in art.
Moreover, an experience on Lantau Island boosted his confidence.
