I think cra•z•art is the old RoseArt formula. Because the crayons is EXACTLY what I remembered from RoseArt. The wax that wasn’t pigmented the sticky sound that drove me insane. And the CLUMPS

[@sarah_noodle]

That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking that maybe RoseArt changed formulas between the late 90s and mid-2000s. As a 1994 kid, I also remember RoseArt being the bane of my existence and performing exactly how Cra-Z-Art does now

[@Shanninica]

I feel like this is accurate because the crazy art performs like how I remember rose art performing.

[@lokthuum]

the sticky sound also drove me crazy I'm glad I'm not alone 😵‍💫

[@monirainbows5987]

This was exactly my thought. RoseArt improved their recipes before they discontinued them, probably werent profitable anymore so rebranded as Craz-i-art and began selling the old dirt cheap formulas. I can not and will not use those products.

[@JanMaynz]

For some reason this made me think of the classroom pencil set a friend got for a social center I frequent. Being a classroom set, you'd expect it to suck, right? Those suckers are AT LEAST as good as Crayola! They lay down smoothly with a lot of control over intensity, and if you lay it on thick it looks SO nice! The 12 colors available also do a good job at covering your typical range of color desires, though obviously not perfectly. I want to say the brand was Schilling? My friend found them on Amazon.

I think RoseArt did improve their crayon formula in the 90’s or so. I was a grade schooler in the 70’s/80’s and even as a non-artsy kid I knew RA was hot garbage. Super waxy and sticky with almost no color payoff, almost transparent. My husband can make the awful restaurant crayons SING, it’s bananas. When our daughter was little he always did special drawings for her with them while we waited for our food. He would ask the waitress to bring every color they had and used utensils to scratch into thick layers, tightly rolled up napkins for stumps and his fingers to blend, and who knows what else for tools. He made the most amazing art out of awful supplies! 😂 Sadly that was before we carried cameras in our pockets and the finished pieces got lost along the way. I wish I had just one of his back of the kid’s menu masterpieces! I should get some super cheap crayons and see if he still has the magic touch. ☺️

I think the big issue why these other brands were hated was because they leaned into being knockoff crayola. It would’ve been better if they had unique packaging instead of just making themselves look identical to crayola only not being the same.

I was born in '89 and grew up despising RoseArt. Maybe their 2000s era improved on the formulas of the 90s? The true villain of childhood art supplies, though, was those crayons you got at restaurants that were basically candles without wicks-- virtually no pigment and all chunky wax. They weren't even worth stealing. Now that I think about it, that was probably by design.

As a child from the 2000's I can tell you they might've improved, but it was still noticeable when you had the better Crayola vs the Rose Art. I always wanted to get the maximum amount of saturation in my drawings (it also didn't help that when I draw or write I basically press down so hard a person could read it on the other side). But the Rose Art always looked muted and it never got brighter no matter how much I pressed. I think I still have a few, but not because I like them. They just were avoided so much.

I recently bought the pencils from the Crayola skin tones range (I think it's called 'Colours of the World' or something to that effect) and they're pretty good, the range you can get both when used straight from the pack *and* when mixed/blended is incredible. The only times they fall down is when used alongside artist brands such as Prismacolor as the pigment just isn't fantastic and they are harder so while they are bendable it's also a lot harder to get a smooth blend than it is with more expensive options.

There’s actually a scientific reason why smell gives you such strong memory Basically the part of your brain that is responsible for memory is almost directly tied with your nose little smell thingy. So, that is why smell gives of such strong memory

That & the peppermint-y smell of paste( Ok,I'm showing my age here 🙄) but seriously one of the kids in my preschool class tried to eat the stuff (& I'm sure he wasn't the first..)

I'm about the same age as you, but from Brazil. And yes, I was "blessed" with RoseArt stuff. Alright, art supplies made here aren't the best, but damn. Just damn. White board was impossible to erase and crayons were SO sticky!

[@amesstarline5482]

While I used Crayola as a kid, I feel people have confused RoseArt for CraZ Art. At least Rose had the cool markers.

[@zannido3125]

They were started by the same person (company) that is why the name and packaging is so similar. Rose art was sold and the owners decided to start cra z art.

[@daddy4967]

I agree. I actually liked crayola and rose art equally as a child. Rose art had a lot of colors that crayola didn’t.

[@Zhiperser]

No, RoseArt was bad; I stand by it. I had a pack of crayons that were so waxy they could barely transfer color. I think younger people experienced a slightly better formula version of some of the products and I had never heard of CraZArt until this video - which seems to be the replacement to original RoseArt.

[@sofakingimmature]

Like Heather stated, RoseArt was crap back in the day. You could barely color with them due to how waxy there were and the crayons, if you put too much pressure, had a habit of bending and breaking on you. Most people who had Rose Art crayons mostly had a box of broken pieces by the third use. And don't let me get started on the color pencils. Not only did you have the color input problem, but they were so poorly made you could easily separate the color lead from the wood. I know this because my older brother was a dick and would do this all the time to my pencils.

[@dovejensen6166]

They aren't that bad, tbh. Some people just don't understand why they were underrated and half the time broke less for crayons. The markers weren't the best but they were cheap enough, tbh crazy art products were worse than the rose art markers. Also they tended to be digits of 2 (ex. 2,4,6....) Less than the crayola or crazy art. I loved their watercolor sets, my great grandma had them and they LASTED FOREVER! I actually don't understand where the bad rep came from, I think and have always thought crazy art was the worst brand.

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

Crazy art us their parent company I'm pretty sure so they're pretty much one in the same. I hated both tbh cause of the different textures.

[@evelinaz1548]

apparently Cra-Z-Art is owned by the same family that started Rose Art. Rose Art used to be horrible, was sold to Mega Block, which was bought by Mattel, which would explain the formula change to better than it was, and Cra-Z-Art was made which is why it sucks. Just last year the family bought back the Rose Art name tho

If you’ve ever used Craze-Art crayons, just looking at them reminds you of the texture. It sends shivers down your spine of how horrible that texture is.

Cra-Z-Art is the brand you give to your kids if you want to discourage them from developing a passion for art.

[@MajaSzewczakColour]

[@starrysky5632]

Waxy crayons are good for wax seals, to make it more presentable, trace the lines with metallic pens. Wax seals are great as greeting card seal, for gift-wrap, and journal decorations.

[@staciecarrel4492]

I think it’s possible that rose art upped their quality in the 2000’s and later, when all your samples were from. I’d be curious to see comparisons between 1980’s crayola and 1980’s rose art, crayons specifically. I remember rose art crayons depositing nothing but colored nubs of wax with almost no color between them, it was like coloring with a candle.

[@vbinkk1385]

I specifically remember the rose art pink being my absolute least favorite. Accidentally picking up a roseart crayon from the crayon bin completely ruined a handful of my childhood drawings 😂

[@sacgeekgirl]

Sargent was the brand I remember having and it was usually the crayons that gave me issues. I remember them being super waxy and sheer color

[@BelindaShort]

I never 'hated' them when I was a kid, but having the cheap stuff def got me made fun of, and that's what it was about.

I didn’t like rose art because I felt like their supplies always broke on me and the film the crayons left made them hard to blend and lay smoothly on a page but I have always despised craZart, how are they still in business 💀

[@sms17762000]

Honestly I remember the Rose Art colored pencils chipping and breaking when I tried to sharpen them. I never had that problem with Crayola. It's not always the quality of the "lead" that makes the difference.

I remember the Roseart working more like the Cra-z-art. I wonder if they changed their formulas by the 2000's.

[@SoCalJellybean]

I was SO lucky as a kid, because my parents both really valued the arts, and fostered my creativity, so they only bought me the best of the best in terms of art supplies, meaning I’ve literally never tried crappy brands like Rose Art!

[@splitterland984]

interesting video. Find it interesting what brands in other countries are typical "school brands". Haven't heard of any of the three brands before. They are not sold here.But you can find "Pelikan", "Staedtler" and "Faber Castell" in every shop. When I was a child I had good old "Faber Castell" colored pencils and a "Pelikan Tuschkasten". Btw the water colors remind me extremely of "Deckfarben". They have an increased opacity, but then form such funny nasty things and can also be easily scratched off. Little fun fact: We Germans have two words for English "watercolor", once "Aquarellfarbe" and also the just mentioned "Deckfarbe". It's always a bit confusing, especially when Germans only know "water color" as a term and see everything as this.

I remember growing up somewhere between rose art and crazy art and I remember growing up and having a huge bin of random markers and the crazy art ones always were the colors that I needed but they were SOOOO streaky. Same with rose art

I despised cra-z-art as a kid and still do, but I always liked roseart crayons, I didn’t realize other people were bothered by the build up of wax. For me, when it got to be too thick I’d scratch it off with my nail and the color would stain (?) the paper but just a bit lighter in color and I always thought that was a pretty fun part of using them. I only had a few roseart crayons in my crayon collection so I didn’t use them much because I wanted to save them to keep longer, I had them from when I was around 7 until like 1 (2012-ish to 2018-ish) Also I have no clue where I got the roseart crayons, I just kinda had a handful of em for whatever reason

I would be interested if you got 90's rose art. I feel like how crazy art performed for pencils and crayons is how rose art performed. Maybe Roseart tried to improve their products before they went under, but it is tough to repair a brand name that is tarnished.

Rose art crayons have no pigment because they are too waxy. When I was younger, I ended up melting them down and I berried them under a tree and had a funeral. I'm not joking. 👍 They are in the ground underneath a tree in an apartment complex where I grew up. The manager saw me and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was having a funeral for my dead art supplies. I was a Goth art kid so yeah that happened. My brother even came in a black drench coat and black makeup and we had a funeral for Rose art. 😂 They dead years ago. 👻 Rose art is haunting me again.

[@beckiicooper3012]

So there is definitely a shortage on watercolors for some reason. I am an elementary art teacher and I ordered a classroom set of watercolors from an art supply company last year in early September and they didn’t come in until the middle of January. Because they were on back order so long I went looking for a few sets that I could let my students share until they came in. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find them in any stores I finally found exactly ten sets it was crazy but I had to go to Hobby Lobby to find them. Also respect what you said about the brushes…when I passed the watercolors out them to use I said so the first thing you need to do when you open these is pick up the supplied brush, look at it and then take immediately to the trash because it is garbage. Lol
