There is creativity in everyone and Wacom’s goal is to encourage students to explore their creativity. Activities like drawing and painting let students express themselves creatively and explore new subjects and ideas. They also contribute to their overall development. For young students of all abilities, the focus is on encouraging them and helping them find their voice. It is about giving them an avenue to communicate – to share their ideas and visions of the world around them with others. Wacom Intuos tablets and Bamboo stylus products, combined with the right software, can help students unlock their imagination.

The flow of a pencil, pen or brush supports the spontaneity and free flow ideas students have when they create. But today's students are also digital natives, who expect to use technology. Wacom helps connect the feel of traditional art tools – like pencils, pens and brushes – with today’s technology. Getting started can be as simple as connecting an Intuos drawing tablets your Mac or PC or using one of our Bamboo stylus products on an iPad or other mobile device.

If you are looking to combine creative arts – like digital art and painting – into your other curriculum as part of an art-enhanced program, Wacom is here to help you.
