Huawei Philippines has partnered with the
prestigious De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde’s (DLS-CSB) Multimedia Arts
(MMA) Program to transform the digital learning experience, encouraging
creativity and innovation using Huawei’s GoPaint
app featured on the HUAWEI MatePad
11.5”S. The upgraded PaperMatte Display on the new HUAWEI MatePad tablet
enhances the students’ user experience, providing a more satisfying feel when
creating art on the tablet.
Huawei took part in the festivities to
commemorate the MMA Program’s anniversary. Held at the DLS-CSB’s Design and
Arts Campus last July 30 to August 1, the event was a vibrant fusion of
technology and artistic expression, reflecting on the program’s legacy of
nurturing creative talent.
DLS-CSB’s MMA Program, a pioneering program in
the Philippines, is celebrating 25 years of making waves in the creative
industry with a 3-day event honoring the program’s past, present, and future.
The event offered a unique opportunity to not only celebrate the program’s
achievements in the last 25 years.
A
Powerful Device for Creative Students and Professionals
MMA Chairperson Katrina Juane explained that
the program has always prioritized providing students with an optimal learning
environment, allowing them to gain valuable lessons and experiences that will
help them achieve their goals.
In celebration of the program’s 25-year
legacy, Juane claimed that they sought to partner with organizations to help
mount a modest exhibition. “To our delight, Huawei stepped in with support by
providing us with their latest (MatePad) tablets,” said Juane. “This partnership with Huawei Philippines
perfectly aligns with the program’s thrust as the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S meets
our students’ needs for a portable digital drawing tool.”
She added, “We envision the future of the MMA
program not just as a benchmark for other schools, but as a destination where
international students aspire to study Multimedia Arts.”
During the 3-day event, Huawei was present to
offer attendees an exclusive opportunity to experience their latest gadget
offerings, including the HUAWEI MatePad
11.5”S, HUAWEI MatePad SE 11”, HUAWEI Pura 70 Series and the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 3.
The event featured “Artist Talks,” where MMA
alumni Jer Dee and Saki Elbambo talked about their creative journeys with the
current MMA students. They shared their experiences and insights to inspire and
guide the next generation of creatives. Huawei also participated in these
talks, highlighting the newest addition to Huawei’s MatePad tablet lineup, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S.
Students had the chance to interact with the
HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S, which combines performance with portability. The HUAWEI
MatePad 11.5”S packs a punch with PC-Level productivity tools apps, including
the upgraded WPS Office 2.0 and HUAWEI Notes. The device’s SuperHub and Super
Device features allow users to work seamlessly across devices.
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S also comes with the
upgraded PaperMatte Display with anti-glare and anti-reflection technology,
providing a vibrant and eye-friendly viewing experience. Certified by SGS and
TÜV Rheinland for its eye-protecting properties, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S
features true-to-life color displays, allowing users to create their
masterpieces without worrying about color accuracy.
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S offers a superior,
paper-like creative experience. The ultra-hydrophobic, oil-resistant film on
the screen prevents fingerprint stains, enhancing touch controls, and reducing
the need for frequent cleaning. This makes the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S one of the
leading devices, especially for users who like to create art much like the
students and the graduates of DLS-CSB’s MMA Program. Using nano-level etching
technique, the screen realistically replicates the texture of paper. Used with
the third generation HUAWEI M-Pencil, powered by NearLink technology, the
screen simulates the sound and feel of pencil on paper. The NearLink connection
offers higher accuracy, more pressure levels, and lower latency, allowing
creatives to sketch and write with precision and a natural feel.
Students also used Huawei’s new GoPaint app, a
user-friendly app developed in collaboration with the China Academy of Art.
GoPaint offers realistic painting effects, tested by over 1,000 professional
painters, and includes over 100 brushes and numerous textures. It delivers a
seamless painting experience with minimal latency and smooth frame rates,
featuring tools like Canvas Background Pattern, Ink Wash, curve correction, and
willow leaf for enhanced artistry. Full-set app tutorials, interactive guides,
and built-in manuscript templates help beginners navigate the app and improve
their skills. Whether users are experienced artists or budding ones, GoPaint
and the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S make the ultimate duo for artistic expression.
Juane said, “Our students used these tablets
to create artworks, some of which were chosen to be featured in the Multimedia
Arts Festival scheduled for the last quarter of this year.” She added, “We’re
incredibly grateful to Huawei for giving our students the chance to explore
such an excellent digital drawing device firsthand.”
Select student pieces were featured in a
dedicated space at the Comic-Con Market on the 12th floor of DLS-CSB’s Design
and Arts Campus, demonstrating the impeccable creative talent and skills and
the tablet’s boundless creative potential. Michelle Manabat, a student, shared
her experience with the tablet. She said, “It was great, I love (that) it’s
pressure sensitive and it really felt like I was drawing on paper.” She added,
“I love painting so it really felt like I was painting.”
Asked whether she found the HUAWEI MatePad
11.5”S helpful for her field, Manabat answered, “Since I am in game
development, we have an art back and we really need (a tablet like) this especially
when we fo game drafts in class.”
MMA student Su Jong Song was thrilled with the
GoPaint app, particularly its user-friendliness and the depth of its features.
“I like how you can tweak the colors and play around with the color saturation,
gradient maps, and the curve tool,” said Song. “You can practice your color
skills (with GoPaint) considering there is a variety of options to tweak
colors. And I think, since it’s a drawing app, you (can) practice your
illustration skills.”
Song added, “The PaperMatte Display on the
tablet makes it more efficient for me.”
Charisse Umaran, another student who used the
GoPaint app on the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5”S to create an artwork said, “I think
this is one of the best paint programs that I’ve used for a tablet.” She
remarked, “This captured my ideas and it’s very user-friendly and
beginner-friendly for a traditional artist going digital. I think it’s very
convenient and (you experience) no lags.”
