They can also choose to draw freehand lines or take advantage of the basic CAD style options to create perfect squares, circles, and lines, making it simple to create just about anything they think up. Spray paint, a glitter pen, and magic markers are some of the other more basic options. Children familiar with paint programs will already know the limits of a paintbrush or pencil, but may be surprised to find they can change more than just colors as they can paint with watercolors, oil, or gouache. Providing a multitude of options, the tools included bring each creative thought to life on the screen. Experimentation is just the beginning as children learn what the program is capable of doing by combining the different tools and effects to create their own original artwork and animated scenes. Kids can jump right in and experiment, or use the electronic manual included in the program for an explanation of each tool and what effect it will produce. Basic knowledge of operating a computer mouse will be required, as this is the means for selecting tools and using them as well as drawing freehand. Upon installation, which is a bit lengthy but accompanied by a catchy tune, a canvas with a sidebar toolbox appears. A child's imagination really is the limit.

This PC game is a virtual art studio, loaded with tools and options, that makes traditional paint, print, and color programs seem boring. Introduce a child with a creative imagination to Disney's Magic Artist Deluxe and watch the artistic sparks fly.
