Reviews From The Schoolhouse Magazine TOS Review Crew

WOW! I can hardly contain my enthusiasm over this FANTASTIC AMAZING program… Core Learning has made available Crayola Art Studio. Now, this is not your “ordinary” paint program… this is an incredible feat of technology!...This is truly the best piece of software I’ve received in years!!!... I give this product two thumbs up… and still that seems short-changing somehow… I wish I had more thumbs!”

 

“This software is a wonderful program that enables children to not only create art, but to also create invitations, greeting cards, decorations and so much more! It is adaptable for all kids regardless of their computer knowledge”

 

“The girls, and cat, have been having a blast with this art software. Every time I turn around, someone is on the computer making beautiful art with the Crayola Art Studio…We have tons of art software, but this is a far more superior product than all the others. This is like having a real canvas in front of you.”

 

“Yes, there are oodles of other digital drawing programs out there, even some that are designed with kids in mind, but Crayola Art Studio provides your child with a virtual palette, kid friendly controls and effects that are very close to the real thing…One of the great things about this program is that each medium is very much like that medium in real life…My kiddos fight over this program and cannot get enough of it. “

 

“We have had a blast with this! The kids really like seeing familiar Crayola products realistically come to life on the screen and get a big kick out of the way that the paint brushes run out of paint and need to be refilled after a few strokes, the markers look like markers, the crayons look like crayons

 

Crayola Art Studio from Core Learning is perhaps the most purely FUN product my kids (they won't let me at it much!) have had the chance to review this year.”

 

”I have fun creating images, editing my photos, and adding text to graphics. Honestly, it had never occurred to me to think kids would have fun doing the same thing. That is, until I received Crayola Art Studio …”

 

“All in all, we love this program! The boys have had so much fun with it and will continue to enjoy it for years. It’s a great launching pad toward advanced graphics program that teens can begin to use.”

 

“It does amaze me that a program which so thrills a young child will also prove beneficial to scrapbooking mommies! How many programs can claim that?”

 

”My overall impression of this product that it is AMAZING (and fun to boot)!”

 

“It is so easy and fun that your children will love making beautiful creations. The interface is so simple that most children can do some fun things with it on their own, but it isn’t just a simple drawing program like Windows Paint. Your student will be able to do some very complex creations with all the tools provided.”

 

“Turn your kids on to Crayola Art Studio. Let their imaginations run wild. This is a paint program that can keep up with any child.”

 

“Well Crayola Art Studio Powered by Core Learning is awesome, awesome, awesome! From the moment you pop this CD in, the whole family is right there having fun. I actually had to set time limits for each member of the family so we all could play, including me!...Crayola Art Studio is a wonderful way to add art to your day. They will be begging to be on the computer.”

 

”We have LOTS of computer software. LOTS…But this if probably the BEST software we've ever gotten. Crayola Art Studio is one cool program. I could lose myself for hours and still not check out everything it does. And my oldest daughter did lose herself for hours playing with it. She's my non-techie child. Beyond Webkins she had no use for the computer...Until now. So what makes Crayola Art Studio so special? In this product, Core Learning has somehow managed to perfectly replicate 12 different art mediums and the effects they create on paper all on the computer screen. Crayons really look like crayon, markers like marker, watercolors blend and bleed like watercolors. It's amazing how realistic it looks. Some of the other mediums available are colored pencil, pastel, tempera paint, acrylic paint, and chalk, just to name a few. And everything is adjustable from the items them draw and paint with to the colors to the bit sizes as a few examples. There are also "stamps" available to augment your child's drawing, as well as pre drawn shapes like squares and stars, but even those are adjustable. A short video tutorial walks your child through everything and gets them ready to start creating. They can print everything they create (or as much as you can afford in ink cartridges for your printer.) This program is "awesome" to quote my daughter. The bottom line for me is that Crayola Art Studio is a MUST. “

5 StarsBetter than KidPix, December 27, 2008
By atticgirl

“…My daughter is just starting to learn the many things this program can do but she has already spent more time with Crayola Art Studio than she did the entire time she had KidPix. It is a great program with a lot of potential.”

5 StarsExcellent graphics program for children. Much better than KidPix, February 26, 2009
By Jerry Saperstein

“This program is fun! Much better than Kepi in every way…Overall, this is an extremely well designed program that is much more than a "toy". It is a real paint program, with a really well done user interface that makes it easy for kids to dig in, be creative and have fun…For the price, you simply can't beat Crayola Art Studio. It is great fun and very versatile.”

5 StarsFor the budding artist in your family, November 15, 2008
By Betty Davis

“…When I saw this Crayola Art Studio, I immediately thought of my granddaughter Ashley, another budding artist in the family. Since she enjoys sitting around sketching everything from trees and flowers to imaginary princesses, I know she'll have hours of fun with this. I couldn't resist it...”
