Chang had never worked with oil painting when she first joined TsingMei. She progressed gradually from her first practice piece to learning the traditional oil glazing technique, starting with basic sketching and moving on to human anatomy, landscapes, and architecture before mastering the control of oil painting layers. At TsingMei, she underwent an incredible metamorphosis in just two years. Her paintings exhibit not only technical mastery but also a profound appreciation and love for painting through their meticulous composition and brilliant color, with each glaze layer accurately capturing light, shadow, and texture. Chang LIU's talent demonstrates that exceptional dedication is evident.

Congratulations to ACG Parnell Judy ZHU, who won the top score in the world for Cambridge A-Level Art Design. This is TsingMei's seventh global championship trophy.

Judy has received methodical artistic training since she joined TsingMei Art Studio at the age of nine and is now an independent young artist at the master level: Charcoal and Sketching — Sturdy construction and perception of light and shadow; Watercolor & Markers: Controllable color and composition; Complex Layering and Technique Integration in Oil Painting and Mixed Media; Visual Expression through Digital Painting Combining Contemporary Technology.

Her sophisticated understanding of light, texture, and cultural symbolism, developed during her A-Level studies at TsingMei, is evident in this piece, which ranges from ink wash aesthetics to digital art, from Eastern philosophy to avant-garde creation. From replication to originality, Judy has forged her own path between oil painting and traditional Chinese styles.

Macleans College's Emily YIN deserves congratulations for earning another flawless grade in the CIE Cambridge A Level Design & Technology (Architecture Stream) exam! A perfect score!
‍
Every step of her portfolio, from conceptual sketches in sketchbooks to 3D modelling and spatial analysis, has been executed with accuracy, care, and astounding perfection, earning it the appellation "textbook-level excellence." She became proficient in every step of the design process at TsingMei Art Studio through methodical training, including conceptual thinking, material experimentation, structural investigation, rendering methods, and portfolio presentation.

Perseverance through numerous model revisions and countless late nights spent perfecting line drawings. Her expectations were almost perfect, and she eventually outperformed the Cambridge examiners with an impeccable A* grade.

Lucy LIU from ACG Strathallan deserves congratulations!
In Cambridge A Level Digital Media (Graphic Design and Photography Stream), she received an exceptional A* (98%)!
‍
Lucy has always been a self-assured girl, having attended TsingMei since she was a young child. Despite her disappointment at receiving an A (85%) in her first year of Digital Media, she persisted and frequently stayed late in the TsingMei studio to tweak compositions and change colors, making each version better than the last. Finally, with a 98% A* score, she made a spectacular comeback!

Furthermore, she achieved breakthroughs in both art and design—from graphic to spatial—and also received an A* in Design & Technology. She were unstoppable in every field. Her experience demonstrates that while talent helps you get started, method helps you reach your full potential.

Congrats to Jessica WANG from St. Cuthbert's school for earning the New Zealand National Scholarship and receiving the top grades!
Jessica demonstrated remarkable creative thinking and visual expression abilities by winning National Scholarships in both design and photography in the most recent results!
‍
Jessica started at TsingMei Art Studio in Year 10, where she received methodical instruction that improved her ability to conceptualize designs, conduct research, and present her portfolio. She exemplifies the true worth of artistic education through tenacity and natural talent, having gone from early exploration motivated by passion to now receiving national recognition. As she developed, the TsingMei mentor team helped her make breakthroughs in portfolio expression, visual language, and design logic.

Angela WANG from Westlake Girls High School established a strong foundation in design when she enrolled at TsingMei in Year 10. She actively enrolled in TsingMei's rigorous architectural software program in Year 11 and became proficient in SketchUp, Rhino, and Enscape for architectural modeling and rendering.
‍
She eventually captivated the judges with her remarkable visual storytelling after progressively developing mature architectural thinking and spatial expression skills under the guidance of her TsingMei mentors. Her accomplishments demonstrate that age is never a barrier when given the proper guidance and strategy. At TsingMei, the tale of a new generation of design geniuses is still being told.
