About Art Academy

Art Academy released 2009 on DS from Headstrong about Vince teaching pencils and paints with step lessons. Second Semester in 2010 added pastels and new still lifes with the same tutor voice.

Lessons for Everyone arrived 2012 on 3DS with 3D refs and share, plus Sketchpad in 2013 and Home Studio in 2015, closing with Disney Atelier in 2016 on 3DS. Each entry resets lessons but keeps Vince, so newcomers start with Lessons before Atelier for pens. The pace stays steady across entries, with each part adding new faces without losing the core tone.

Good to know

There is no separate story order worth listing since lessons stand alone with new pictures each time, so release order is play order. Play Lessons for Everyone fully before Atelier, since tools return. Treat the run as complete with six entries, and save free paint for after lessons. Plan extra time for finales, since later parts assume full knowledge of earlier twists.
