Ms. Celina isn’t your average educator.

She teaches both hybrid and fully virtual STEAM classes at the Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy, an all-girls public charter school located in the Bedford-Stuyvesent neighborhood. With a mission to empower each young woman to be the best version of herself, BELA provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, service learning initiatives, and a commitment to cultivating a spirit of ownership within each young woman.

Having students both in-classroom and online, Ms. Celina keeps her 9th grade classes focused using a variety of ed-tech tools including Wacom Intuos tablets and Pear Deck.

Change is scary sometimes. It also requires time. 🫠
For @adam_theillustrator, it took some time to switch the mouse over a stylus, but he never looked back. 💪
Do you remember what it was like for you? How many tries did it take you to master drawing with a tablet? What advice do you have for new users?

Time flies when you`re absorbed in the details, hyper focusing on every stroke and thinking about every line. 👀🤓🧐🔍🐲
Love seeing @andrezgalviz_art taking advantage of his beautiful Cintiq Pro 24 canvas to sculpt for hours.

How many strokes to draw Rengoku? 🗡️💥❤️‍🔥
@caleo_real did this challenge and the results were..... Interesting 🤯😂
Do you count your strokes? An artist may choose to paint with as few brush strokes as possible for many reasons, including aesthetic effect, style, technique or emotional impact.

One of the most important steps in animation is BLOCKING!
We asked @fabgioffre to walk us through his process to show you how easy it can be, especially if you`re using the right tools like @toonboomanimation and a Wacom tablet (Fabio is using the Movink on this video).
Head to Fabio`s YouTube channel for the full tutorial or head to our stories to get there.
