I'm not sure I exactly knew what I was buying when I chose this for an 11 year old for Christmas. It sat unopened for a couple of months, and one dreary winter day I encouraged the youngest 4 children to pull it out. They were enthralled for hours, and I could barely pull them away! My 5, 6, 10, and 12 year old regularly "play" with this program, and I'm so impressed with their level of learning, interest, and comprehension. Fabulous!

GeeArt (previous version of Creativity Express) is an online program that I purchased through Timberdoodle. It covered some art history, different artists, techniques such as light source, balancing a picture's contents. All of this was taught using animated animals that would talk about the subject and there were interactive screens. My boys ages 7 and 11 didn't want to stop! I enjoyed it myself and felt that it covered a lot of material.

Totally boring... |

My children and I found this product to be totally boring. It is a program of a listening kind of instruction, not doing. There is no interaction for the student to try something.

Creativity Express (formerly Gee Art) is wonderful! Fun, thorough, engaging, and so well done our kids wanted to use it again and again! It's a great product that makes a sometimes "forced" subject one of our favorites.

I plan to enjoy it myself! |

I think this product is a great and fun choice for creativity! However, I have not been able to convince my son of the same. I think my timing may have been off in that he views it as kid's stuff (because of the cute animated characters and is unwilling to give it a fair shake. I bought it when he was 11 - guess I should have probed a little more with him. He's a great artist (drawing) and loves computer games, so I thought this was a no-brainer, but I guess he's decided he's too old for this (in spite of the '7 to 97' on the label. Well, I plan to enjoy it myself AND if he can fit it in I'll get my seventeen yr. old son to spend some time with it - he's not plagued by the "I'm too old for kid stuff" syndrome. After we've gotten our use out of it, I plan to pass it along to friends whose kids will be more open to it as well!
