"Students from Taiwan tend to use gentler colors, while local students use brighter ones," says Teacher Zeng Minjie, a graduate of NTNU's art department. When students are allowed to draw freely whatever they like, local students usually draw common images of Malaysian life, while Taiwan students tend toward more imaginative themes like space ships and Ninja Turtles.
「僑校學生用的顏色較柔和，本地生比較強烈」，師範大學美術系畢業的曾敏潔老師則指出，若讓他們自由發揮，本地生多畫居家附近的馬來風光、人物，而台灣小孩偏愛忍者龜及太空船等想像意味較濃的題材。
