The LJN Video Art is an educational home video game console that was developed and manufactured by LJN. It was introduced sometime in 1987, remaining on the market until at least late 1989 at a heavy price drop.
Core functionality is similar to basic personal computer paint programs. There are two joysticks—one controlling a cursor to draw lines and curves, and another to blend up to 16 colors. Turning on the system without a cartridge inserted gives a blank screen for drawing. The game library is mostly based on themed coloring books, connect the dots, and puzzles. Animations can be made by creating a series of drawings and recording a slide show to a VCR. Video Art Activity Cartridge is included, with several outline drawings that can be colored.
