5.0 out of 5 stars Exdcellent art class better than my college art class

I really like this program. I am older and have had a lot of experience in practical drawing of objects I want to make or want to understand. So drawing a windmill is easier for me than painting a avocado for instance. Also coloring a scene like a water wheel with buildings, trees, and waterfall is hard for me because I am color challenged. Greys and greens look the same for example and in free drawing I have to have help identifing the colors. However, art is individual and what if what you draw or paint is for you and not mass publication what matters about the colors as long as they look good to you? I remember a Jack Nicolos golf course creation program. I made a background for a course with mountains, sky, water, trees, etc and sent it to another course designer out west that I met through the internet. He wrote back stating in better language "what the heck was that". When my wife looked at it she broke out laughing because all the colors I saw in my background look different to someone who can see thousands of color variations. I am getting better from practice seeing the colors in the program and remembering what they are even though I am what is called color blind. I call it color challenged because I see color but variations of colors throw me. Unless the new color blindness corrective glasses come on the market soon I am stuck struggeling. That doesn't stop me from enjoying this progrm though. It is a challenge and fun. I am indeed learning how to draw something other than stat objects like a windmill or a chair. Now I look at actual paiontings I own and can see how the artist did it. I mean after the drawing how did the artist accomplish making it look real with shading and color blending. I really like the personal art gallery in the 3DS version. When I am satisfied that I have done my best to that point on a drawing or painting I frame with a chosen frame and hang it in the gallery. If I redid a lesson and liked the new one better I can unhang the old one and hang the new one and then delete the old one. The sessions can be saved which helps in comparing the different times you do a particular lesson. The lessons can also be saved to the photo gallery where your snaps and videos are stored. So you have a couple ways of viewing your art work. I like the gallery best because the pictures are framed. I also like the ability to skip the art history part of a lesson if I have already gone through the lesson before. Even if I finish the whole game (so called a game but it is actually an insructional program) I will go back to the more difficult works and try them again. I can do that over and over. Though having more of a machine drawing background I really enjoy the freedom of expression in art. I remember watching a painting program on TV that always told us "it doesn't matter if your painting doesn't look exactly like mine because painting is invividual and should be yours". I picked up a lot from that program but as much as I wanted to go out and buy canvas, paints, colored pencils, brushes and all the rest required to paint and draw, it would have been a waste of money since I am color challenged. I can experience it all in "Art Academy" with out any of that expense, but if they do come out with those glasses to eliminate color blindness I'll be in the store buying in a flash. I could use the lessons in "Art Academy" and actually put them on canvas. If you have my problem and hessitate getting the program, I recommend you go ahead and buy it because it is still fun and you do learn something about color mixing, blending and so on with the experience going through the program.

I'm so glad I added this game to my collection. When I'm tired of collecting coins, beating bosses, and solving puzzles, this game comes to the rescue!

I'm playing it on a 3ds XL so the resolution looks great and I have a nice big screen to paint on. I've done 3 lessons so far and I really love the way my paintings have turned out! There is even a cool 3D gallery you can 'walk' in and out of and frame your paintings in whatever room you chose. You even get a choice of frame styles. The tutorials are pretty good and you can skip through them quickly if you are a fast reader. There are also short art history segments that you can read through (or skip) and they give a nice background so you understand the reason you use certain techniques.

There isn't any scoring or right or wrong to the tutorials. The art teacher gives examples of how he will do the painting, but emphasizes that you should make each painting your own. Overall, I'm very happy with this game! (I'm 32 years old, but I think older kids who like art would like this game, too)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both the new and the experienced
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2012

When I first played the Art Academy game for the DS, I had already been familiar with drawing and painting somewhat, but I still learned a lot from the game. It helped me to overcome my hesitation with painting, and taught me that it's ok to be loose and carefree with your brush strokes (which allows you to capture more energy in your creations). My only gripe with it was that it was too short.

But now the 3DS game comes packed with many more new lessons to teach anyone how to both sketch and paint. The instructor is thorough and straight-forward with his lessons and guides you step by step so you're not left feeling lost on what to do or how to do it. There are two sets of lessons: introductory and advanced. If you're already familiar with foundations, you can skip right ahead to the advanced courses if you want to. If you're new, going through the introductory courses will teach you many important basic skills and guidelines, and move you in the right direction in your new hobby.

While this game provides well for those totally new to drawing and painting, it's still a worthy pick-up for the experienced. The worst thing that could happen is that you get a refresher on the basics and some extra practice.

I was so excited to get this game for my 3DS, and so when it arrived I was thrilled to play it. It's much more complicated than I thought. It shows you exactly what to do on the upper screen, but it doesn't help you at all on the lower screen where you're painting. You could make something really nice on it, but you would really need to follow directions very carefully, and even if you did, it still wouldn't look as nice. This game was fun because of the thrill of improving my artistic skills, but then it just became boring.

My wife got me this game as a Christmas present. I was unsure of it at first, but after a few minutes I've decided I really like it. It teaches the fundamentals of painting, something I've always wanted to get better at, and never fully understood. After a few basic lessons with this program, I'm excited and willing to try painting again without the DS (something I haven't done in over 15 years. Just in the first couple of lessons, this game taught me the way to set up and lay out a good picture, draw the outline accurately, and explained it explained the uses of different size/shape brushes and methods to get the coloring and all that I want to have. Today I bought the equipment to carry over what I have learned into the real world with canvas and brushes!
This is an excellent game for anyone who wants to sharpen their painting skills, or even just play around with painting without committing to the purchase of paints and canvases.
