Art Academy, also known as Art Academy: Learn painting and drawing techniques with step-by-step training in the PAL regions and Artistic Taste Classroom DS (絵心教室DS, Eigokoro kyōshitsu DS) in Japan, is an art training software for the Nintendo DS handheld game console. It was developed by Headstrong Games, and published by Nintendo. Art Academy was originally a two-part training application only available for download via the DSiWare service since 2009. It was later re-released in 2010 as a fully compiled, retail-able DS Game Card with added features, thus also making it available for original Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite users.

The original DSiWare applications are known as Art Academy: First Semester and Art Academy: Second Semester. Each one has six and four lessons respectively, and both DSiWare applications are worth 800 Nintendo DSi Points each. Art Academy: First Semester and Second Semester were released in North America on September 14, 2009 and September 28, 2009 respectively, and in the PAL regions on December 25, 2009 and January 8, 2010 respectively. In Japan both DSiWare applications were released on November 18, 2009 as Fairly Authentic Artistic Taste Classroom: First Semester (わりと本格的 絵心教室 前期, Wari to honkaku-teki eigokoro kyōshitsu zenki) and Fairly Authentic Artistic Taste Classroom: Second Semester (わりと本格的 絵心教室 後期, Wari to honkaku-teki eigokoro kyōshitsu kōki).
