HUAWEI has partnered with De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) to showcase the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) as a tool that elevates digital creativity and productivity for young artists. The collaboration reinforces DLS-CSB’s Multimedia Arts (MMA) Program as a leading force in creative education, training future artists in design, animation, and digital storytelling. This partnership will take center stage during the annual Halloween event Art in Motion: The Moving Deadlines from October 28 to 30, 2025, at the Benilde Design + Arts Campus.
Fostering Innovation Through Technology and Art
Katrina Juane, Chairperson of DLS-CSB Multimedia Arts, said their Halloween event, Art in Motion: The Moving Deadlines, aims to blend art, motion, and storytelling with HUAWEI’s support. Students used the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5” to explore digital illustration and motion graphics, combining creative freedom with technology-driven precision.
“Having worked with HUAWEI before, we’ve seen firsthand how their products perform not only as reliable devices but as creative tools that genuinely empower students. In our program, we constantly look for technology that bridges technical precision and artistic freedom and HUAWEI consistently delivers that balance,” shared Katrina Juane, Chairperson of DLS-CSB Multimedia Arts Program.
The collaboration reflects the synergy between HUAWEI’s innovation and DLS-CSB’s creative learning. It provides students with advanced tools to expand artistic boundaries while deepening HUAWEI’s connection with the next generation of creatives. Attendees of the event will experience the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) through live demos and interactive sessions that highlight its balance of PC-level performance and tablet versatility.
Designed for Creativity and Comfort
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) impressed students with its thin 6.1mm all-metal unibody frame and lightweight 515g build. The design supports on-the-go creativity, easily transitioning from lecture halls to art studios.
Its PaperMatte Display replicates the feel of real paper. For students who spend long hours drawing or editing, the anti-glare nano-etched texture minimizes reflections and reduces eye strain while preserving color accuracy. The result is a comfortable, paper-like experience suited for extended creative sessions.
Smarter Tools for Study and Creation
Equipped with WPS Office 2.0, the MatePad 11.5 (2025) offers desktop-class tools for writing, spreadsheets, and presentations. The upgraded layout supports multitasking, advanced formatting, and seamless cloud syncing, helping students manage academic and creative projects efficiently.
HUAWEI Notes complements this by turning the tablet into a flexible digital notebook. Students can annotate PDFs, record voice notes, and convert handwriting into text. With customizable folders and intuitive tools, it allows easy organization of coursework and ideas, streamlining the creative workflow.
GoPaint: A Creative Suite for Every Artist
The pre-installed HUAWEI GoPaint app offers students a professional-grade creative toolkit. With over 100 customizable brushes, advanced layers, and color management tools, GoPaint gives users control and precision in every project. Brushes emulate watercolor, oil, and digital pens, creating realistic effects suitable for illustration, animation, and design work.
“This new MatePad 11.5” (2025) continues to impress us with its PaperMatte display and incredible pen precision. It feels like drawing on real textured paper, which is a big deal for artists transitioning between analog and digital mediums,” Juane observed. “We’ve also noticed how fluid and natural it is for animation sketching and layout work, which aligns with what our students do daily.”
GoPaint’s robust layer system supports non-destructive editing, allowing experimentation without loss of work. Its intuitive interface and lasso tools make rearranging elements simple. This combination of control and flexibility bridges the gap between traditional sketching and digital artistry, giving students the freedom to create with confidence.
Built for Productivity and Endurance
Beyond creative work, the MatePad 11.5 (2025) delivers practical features that suit a student’s demanding schedule. The HUAWEI M-Pencil (3rd Gen) supports magnetic wireless charging, ensuring it is always ready for use.
The tablet’s 10,100 mAh battery powers through full days of classes, editing sessions, and design critiques. When recharging is needed, 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge restores power quickly, keeping students productive without interruption. Its balance of portability and endurance makes it ideal for extended academic and creative use.
“The MatePad series has proven to be durable, responsive, and intuitive, which makes it easy to recommend to our students for both classroom use and creative projects. The fact that HUAWEI values education and supports young creators makes the partnership feel organic and purposeful,” Juane added.
