    Words cannot describe how much I loved this show. Although I was not creative in the slightest when it came to art, my sister was though, I took an interest in it. And you know what? I miss it, it was a truly wonderful show that I prefer watching over any show airing right now.I for one loved how educational Art Attack was. For example we would be taught to paint and such, something simple and effective for me and others to understand, and all these skills were incredibly creative and fun. The sets are colourful, and the music is memorable. The writing is simple yet entertaining and easy to understand. Neil Bacchanan is a wonderful presenter, who expresses a deep interest in what he is presenting, and that is important to me.Overall, really entertaining and creative, if you are a young art enthusiast this is a must-watch. 10/10 Bethany Cox

    "Art Attack" was one of many kids' shows that I discovered on TVO in the 1990s, during my childhood. I quickly started to watch it regularly. The show ran for a long time, and I can't say I followed it throughout its entire run, but watched it a lot from around 1994 to 1995 or '96. I even tried some of the things taught in the show, but sometimes failed, having missed some instructions. Eventually, I stopped watching it, but can recall seeing it occasionally several years later.The show was hosted by Neil Buchanan. Each episode featured segments where Neil was on a set, demonstrating arts & crafts projects to viewers (projects which would be referred to as "art attacks"), sometimes using small art supplies, and sometimes using gigantic ones for large projects on the floor! The show also featured segments with Neil outside, making a huge "art attack" on the ground, using various materials that one wouldn't usually use for art, as well as scenes featuring The Head, a living statue of a head (I remember three different versions), who made comments on Neil's "art attacks" and would often try it himself, sometimes failing miserably. Guests would also sometimes appear on the show to demonstrate their ideas.For kids (and maybe certain others) who were interested in arts & crafts, "Art Attack" was a show not to be missed, as it could give them many great artistic ideas! The show could be very entertaining to watch as well, with a lot of humour, so while learning about arts & crafts, viewers could have some laughs along the way! It appears that it hasn't been very long since the demise of "Art Attack", and for those who want a perfect family art show, you should definitely check out some episodes if you can!

    I do watch it occasionally when there is a new series or it is repeated, but when I was younger this used to be one of my favourite creative programmes. Neil Buchanan has been the host for who knows how long now, and he's still as interesting as ever. Basically he enters the studio and helps you to get ideas for creating many things. He also gives us drawing tips and a Big Art Attack! Some of the things he's created are helpful, handy, fun and laughable. There is also the amusing antics of "The Head" reminding you of what's been made, and sometimes he even gave you his version of what was made. But it's Neil that was the highlight of the show for me. It won a BAFTA for for Best Children's Programme (Factual) from 5 nominations. At the time, and sometimes now, very good!
