Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

My name is Sofia and I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I've learned lots of different drawing techniques through Outschool. I decided to make this piece because I really like the anime art style. It makes me feel happy!

My name is Lucy C and I love all things dragons, mystical and magical. My art piece is inspired by what I think a dragon’s ocean cave home would look like. Imagining dragons and ocean environments makes me feel excited and inspired.

Hey! I’m Rae (Raven) What inspired me to make this is my passion for flowers I love flowers so much! ❤️💐

My artwork is inspired by my grandpa and watching beautiful, colorful sunsets. I always wanted to get to know my grandpa, so in my artwork is me and him walking in a beautiful winter forest, as the sun sets. My grandpa always dressed nicely, and wore a nice old fashion hat. He loved nature and taught my mom how to throw river rocks that skid on lakes. My mom always tells me stories about him, and what he was like. It takes me to a different time and I am happy he was my grandpa.

Poppies are vibrant and bold so they inspire me to feel that part of me when I paint them.

Me and my Mom are traveling around the world for a year and I love to sing. We got to see a lot of cool things and I thought it was amazing to see all the different animals. I took a busking class and learned how to write my own song about what it’s like to go on adventures. I drew the art and wrote the music too!

This art piece was made by me and these are my own characters Mark and Roxy! What inspired me is a anime with two characters in this pose! Mark is the golden colored dog and Roxy is the Brown sheep. I hope you enjoy my art piece:3

I'm a 10 year old girl with a younger sister. My sister wanted a character who could ride a horse and was named Harriet. I drew the picture and designed her outfit. Harriet is always up for an adventure and likes to explore!

I enjoy drawing graphite sketches. The reason I chose bloodhound is because they are one of my favorite breeds of dogs. I really enjoy this drawing and I tried to capture as much emotion as possible.

I really enjoy painting. I feel you can do anything with paints. I was inspired to paint this piece because it was winter time.

I love bunny. Bunny is the cutest, and she loves to read! I first drew Bunny on its way home, but I don't know what to draw outside. So I drew Bunny reading a book in her cozy home. I am very happy about my work.

I like the beautiful sunset in my picture. I think the frog looks peaceful and it makes me feel peaceful too!

My name is Cara. I love drawing and crafts. I like drawing fun ducks like this one. Brad the Duck was inspired by one of my toy ducks. This drawing makes me feel happy.

I love Wings of Fire and wanted to create an original character based on the books to use in my own story. Magnolia is a dragon who got her leg cut off in the war and has to juggle both school and running her kingdom. She also has a pet lemur, named Sage, and sisters she has to care for since her parents died. Magnolia is strong and fierce and perseveres through hard challenges and also asks for help when she needs it and I want to be like her (minus the losing limbs and parents bit :) ).

I just really like birds, we have lots and lots of birds all around our farm and exotic birds usually look so cool. And the flowers are around where that bird lives.

My name is Juniper and I am 10 years old. My artwork titled Unicorns in New York symbolizes possibility. Even in tough times, imagination can carry us somewhere new. That is why possibility inspires me the most, it can become anything and I want that for everyone!

Minecraft is a game that does more than entertain me; it inspires me to be more creative and attentive to the world around me. It pushes me to think outside the box and focus on the quality of everything I create. I drew the baby pig and dog because they're my favorite animals in this game. They've inspired me to build many structures and habitats in-game. I wanted to show them in a cinematic way to show how my favorite parts of Minecraft give me ideas for what to create next.

This piece was inspired by the circle of life and my love of nature. I like to draw and learn about animals.

Now over two years I have been enjoying and learning animal drawing lessons on Outschool with Michelle Yother. Drawing animals is cute and a lot of fun!

Hello, my name is Alex Lynn and I drew Modern Italian. I wanted to challenge myself with shading because I have been deliberately ignoring it for a long time. I knew I was taking a risk with shading but I wanted to improve. I used 2B, 4B, and 6B pencil grades to achieve the dark contrasts that make light shades pop out. I faced many problems such as having trouble with proportions for the pedestal. I hope you consider my art in the final vote and that you were inspired by my image.

This piece came from wanting to create something beautiful and detailed using nature as inspiration. I built up the tree, lantern, and wisteria with clay before painting over it on the Canvas for a 3D effect. It took a lot of time and effort especially when working with details and lighting. This piece pushed me to stay focused and not rush. It reminds me that putting time and effort can turn simple ideas into something unique so I would love to be a finalist or be a fan favourite :)

Hello! I love creating digital art on my iPad. I specifically love drawing people and or animals. What inspired my piece was lotus flowers, which you can find on the outside of the drawing. They're one of my favourite flowers, and I love drawing them. I wanted to create an art piece where I could draw a whole bunch of them! I love how colorful the drawing is; it makes me feel happy. I just love looking at it!

This a drawing of my best friend. bunny’s are my favorite animal and this is my stuffed animal bunny she might be a stuffy but when I feel down she is always there to comfort me

"Raining Inspiration" came from things in my life that inspire me in my day to day activities. The things I drew represent what I love - my family, friends, nature, books about dragons, my faith and so many other things. I feel proud to share my drawings and feel like I can soar when I have these items represented in my art.

My name is Annabelle and my favorite kind of art is watercolors. Creating art makes me feel really happy. What inspired me to make this art piece is my love for cats and mermaids.

I am learning to draw anime style so I can make a manga. This drawing was inspired by an MHA character and I named her Pearl after my cousin.

Art is a very calming thing for me. Whenever I am feeling stressed or anxious, I sit down and do some sketching. Recently, whenever I'm sitting on my own, I start thinking about the lighting in the room and how the light from the window reaches everything and makes all of it feel so beautiful. I find myself really wanting to make a painting of it.

I love to draw and I love animals. Whenever I have free time, I love to be creative. I’m learning so much in my art classes on Outschool and challenging myself with new skills as much as possible.

Hi, my name is Corissa. My dream is to be an artist when I grow up and if you pick my painting it would mean the world to me. This is a painting about a girl bunny named Pinky and a boy bunny named Bob, and in this scene they are having a picnic enjoying the day. Thank you for the consideration.

Hello!I have two guinea pigs(one named coconut and one named coal),which I adopted 10 months ago. My favorite show is Hannah Montana. My piece was inspired by hanging out with my mom and looking out into the sunset with her. It makes me feel calm, that's why I named it "The Peaceful Summer".🌸

All the colors of the buildings represent different emotions like how the bright colored ones represent happiness, excitement, and joy, and the ones on the more darker side represent curiosity, anger, and sadness but above all those feelings are a sunny bright sky with beautiful clouds that all look like a painting and I wanted to draw what this feeling is like, thank you if you voted for me!!

I am a girl who lives in an RV and travels around the U.S. with my family—two parents, two sisters and our two cats, Sage and Juniper. I have been drawing ever since I can remember and am usually drawing whenever I can. My piece was inspired by a photo of Juniper, taken after my sisters and I dressed her up. I feel very happy that she was such a good model, and think she looks very elegant and regal.

Hello 👋 I am Finlay and I LOVE drawing dragons! This piece was inspired by my favourite book series 'Wings Of Fire' and it's this dragon's final moments of peace before venturing out to battle at dawn, wondering if it will be his last. It makes me realize how far I have come with my art and dragon drawings.

I like learning about space and I come from a cowboy family. So I created something that shows both sides of what I like.

Hi! My name is Aanya, and I love love love cats, which inspired my art(I made it on ProCreate). It was made as one of my OCs, with a part of her face sunlit and the rest dark. It signifies that even in the darkest of times, there is hope. I hope you like it!!

From a young age, I've been inspired by space through drawing and building with LEGOs. It sparked my curiosity and imagination about what exists beyond our world. Space makes me feel excited and full of wonder, pushing me to dream big. I hope to become a mechanical engineer and work with NASA one day. This piece reflects my passion, creativity, and belief that I can turn my dreams into reality.

This artwork was inspired by my love of bright colors, which reminds of my personality, and, birds! I enjoy creating digital art because it allows me to experiment with blending colors and trying new techniques. I used what I learned from practicing digital painting to create a cheerful bird with a colorful, imaginative background. Art makes me happy because I can turn ideas in my mind into something beautiful to share with others.

I made this drawing because i felt like creating, there's not much really to it other than I wanted to make something. Looking at it gives me a calm feeling, like the girl is reflecting on her past and awaiting her future.

Hi! My name is Rebekah, and this is my art piece entitled "hope." In this drawing, I depict myself as a skeleton, which represents vulnerability and the beauty of originality. The bones are chipped and broken from trauma, betrayal, and hurt. However, despite all the pain from life circumstances and mentality, there is new growth. Flowers bloom from the vines crawling up the body, showing that hope can still be found in the darkest places of life, and there is always something more to live for.

Drawing makes me feel calm and seeing them come to life makes me really proud. I love to crochet too. I was inspired to draw this piece because I wanted my favorite character from Wings of Fire to come to life and show my WOF friends.

I’ve moved a lot throughout my life, and along the journey I have been inspired by the people around me. I was born in St.Louis, then moved to Connecticut, then to Shanghai, back to St.Louis, and I’m currently in Chicago. I made a ton of friends but also said goodbye to many of them. My painting depicts two people promising to stay in touch and how much their friendship means. My friends inspire me as a person and I could’t ask for better friends.

My name is Ellie and this is my character Marquise he’s an art teacher, and he likes strawberry’s and this took a bit and I had a reference

I love making costumes and characters, and then drawing them into different outfits and places

I really enjoy every aspect of Japanese art and design, from anime to games. It is a dream of mine to become a professional trading card artist when I grow up. This piece reflects that. It is an illustration of one of my original characters, Noodle Dragon, above miso lake, where I imagine he would live.

I LOVE to paint. What inspired this art was how much I like making rainbows, hearts, and sunsets so why not put them together.

My names Rowan, and my art piece is a recreation of the Mona Lisa. But I did this with my own work! This was my first attempt, but I hope to get better and better.

So about myself, I always love musical pieces, playing instruments, and art. However, considering the fact that I don't even play the Guitar, I just thought that the instrument is a vibrant way of expressing my thought, and when I did this piece of art, I made sure to include a bit of colorful explosion. It gives me great joy when I finished my art .

We follow the Hipbee explorers on YouTube and go gold panning every summer. They were the inspiration and I'm very happy about it.

I have always been creative and drawn to painting and sketching. This piece is acrylic on canvas and I hope it envokes the feeling of how there is always light somewhere in the darkness.

I am an avid writer and artist with a passion specifically for animals. This piece was inspired by a book I want to write following the first two leaders of a wolf pack called the Rose Kingdom. Over the course of this drawing I grew even more attached to these two characters and even spent hours meticulously fussing over details just so I could do them justice. Now that the piece is finished, I look at it as one of the best pieces I've ever created and the characters as some of my favorites.

Hello, I’m Hayden! I love to read, play sports, write, drawing dragons, etc. I’ve been doing art class with Ms. April Taylor for a year, and before that, I have been taking other Outschool art classes. If I’m being honest, the inspiration for my painting came from a watercolor class with Ms. April Taylor. It made me feel extremely happy because of the outcome, since water color isn’t my strong suit. I owe my teacher a huge, clap clap clap and thanks! Thank you so much for your time! -Hayden

Limitless is an art piece of a beautiful beach with a sunset, no stops, and horizon till the end to show no limits. My inspiration was that many of my days have been spent at the beach; and when I meditated, I would go there in my mind. I love the memories of sand castles and swimming in the waves. The sunset at the beach is beautiful, and it shows a day of fun was had.

My name is Roan and I like the Legend of Zelda. I was inspired by a guardian stalker. It makes me feel happy and like my hard work is good. It also makes me feel like I did a really good job.

So proud of this Clydesdale I drew. I worked very hard and love the perspective of staring at it from below

My name is Macie and what inspired me was that I love exploring the outdoors. I love the comfort being outside brings and I decided to draw me looking into Creation and what God has made

inspired by my friend

My dogs are the inspiration of this piece. And my dog Lady’s hateful glare.

When i grow up i want to build robots so i decided to design one that i will build later on. I am also very happy with it and the work i put in to do it.

I love fantasy and art and I wanted to create a drawing where if you stepped through a puddle you would enter a new world.

I recently started drawing dragons and really love it. I'm excited to keep trying and getting better and better

Hi! I'm Alexander and this piece was inspired by my sister, Amaya who also submitted her piece.

My name is Ruth! I love drawing cats, birds, and flowers. One of my most recent classes with Miss Michelle Yother inspired this piece. This watercolor painting makes me feel peaceful and happy.

Hi! I’m Arianna and I chose this piece because it’s inspired by my favorite book series; Wings of Fire. Misty is my OC which stands for original character. I drew her standing on a cliff, surrounded by a lake. In the background there’s a foggy forest, that represents her home. The process of making this sketch was very challenging but the result feels extremely rewarding. I hope you like it!

Hi my name is Valentina and I love drawing and sewing.I also love bows and bedazzling things so I had to put it in my art piece!! I was inspired by my fashion design class. We did runway fashion this week. It makes me feel happy and joyful!! I hope you love it.🩷🎀

I love painting, especially with watercolor. My family went on a trip to Japan, and I got to see the beautiful buildings and landscape of the place which inspired me, and I really liked Mount Fuji and the pagodas, both of which I decided to add to my picture. It feels peaceful to look at, since you feel like you are there with the lady in the pink flower kimono, watching her make ripples in the water.

Hi!My name is Alice and I am 6 years old. One day I laid down in the grass and looked up — the flower was SO BIG, bigger than my whole head! I thought: this is what it feels like to be a tiny bug. So magical! I painted the big flower, a bee (bees are flowers' best friends), hearts because nature fills my heart, and a mushroom (little bug houses). LOTS of colours because nature has lots! The world is SO BIG and SO BEAUTIFUL and I'm just a tiny little girl in it. Everyone should look up sometimes.

I am Layla, and I love a lot of mascot horror (a media that makes a setting with a mascot scary!) I made this art piece with a character from Indigo Park, which is a game I love a lot! I think Rambley the Racoon, who is the mascot and digital guide character! I decided to draw him to show my love for the game!

I really love to paint sunsets so when I heard about this contest I knew I had to make a huge one! This painting shows a flock of birds flying south over a forest at sunset. When I look at this painting I can't help but wonder, are the birds flying towards something or are they flying away?

My name is Joslyn I've always loved art and trying different art forms or drawing styles, I also really love indie horror games like Mucorales or Pumpkin panic. I wanted to give my piece a more eerie or melancholic vibe which is why I used darker colors for it. I was inspired by how unicorns were originally depicted in stuff like The last unicorn and how the unicorns look slimmer, and just look more majestic when their less bulky and horse-like. I'm very proud of my piece and i hope you like it.

My name is Evan and I am 11 years old from Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in Arizona, my inspiration is the desert sunset of the Sonoran. Some people don’t view the desert as beautiful, but I do. I love looking out at the magnificent mountains, the tall Sahuaro Cacti, and the sun falling behind the landscape. The desert view inspires me to explore and see what lies beyond the mountains. I am color blind, so I chose to create this artwork in a black and white sketch, showing detail in the shading.

My name is Shae. I love foxes and the stars, so I figured, why not combine them?

This art piece is inspired by a Avatar

My name is Felicity, I live in England and I am 12 years old. I drew this because octopus are fun to draw and I wanted him to be drawing because I like to draw. I feel happy for him because he is like my child and he hasn't given up on his dreams :D

This makes me feel warm and ready to be outside in the trees.

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

I really like marvel, and my favorite character is spider-man! A well known friend of spider-man’s is Deadpool, so obliviously I had to draw them taking a break from hero work!

I love creating art in any way I can, in this piece I used oil pastels which give you the ability to blend colors, create depth and even highlights

Hello! I'm Nora, and I love to draw. I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon and hope to be an artist some day! I love digital art and like drawing people, realism, hands, eyes, or just simple characters!

Hello, my name is Phoenix. I do not do art that often, but I do enjoy it. I did this in my preferred art style (the only one I do) which is a standard pencil and a fine point pen (also one of those super satisfying clicky eraser things). The thing that inspired me to draw this (besides the prize) was I was just thinking of what to draw, and I just started drawing, and bing-bada-boom, I had a picture.

My name is Sercie, and I love capturing people and their expressions in my art. I have five siblings (three biological), so I’m always surrounded by different personalities that inspire my drawings. I did my entire kindergarten year on Outschool, and my teacher Shelby is still in my life today. Art is my escape and a way to express myself. I created this piece on my tablet using a digital pencil and focused on giving the character a playful, confident personality.

Hi! I am Shashvini! As you can see I made a chick in some grass with flowers. What made me create this art is that I like chicks and I thought it would be a good choice for this art contest. This is what inspired me. Whenever I think of this art I always think of peaceful things, I think this art is a very calm art. A chick in grass on a peaceful sunny day. This is a little bit about my little chick in the grass. I hope you enjoy it! Thank you!

I grew up in a city and I loved the wonder of these sky-reaching monuments with many people all doing their own thing. I also liked seeing how ecosystems function like jungles and oceans. So I based this piece off of the idea of conserving and having industrialization and cities being in harmony and intertwined with the natural world. It makes me feel hopeful for what humanity can do if we'd allow ourselves to function with nature and actually make an effort to conserve the beauty of ecosystems.

Hi! I'm Esme and I love drawing hedgehogs, acrylic painting, and paper quilling my own designs. My submission is of my new cousin, Lucy. Lucy has a cute turned-up nose like my aunt does, and I love her so much. I am proud of my drawing of her because I used all of the drawing skills I know: shading, blending, and making the shapes before drawing the details.

I wanted to draw this picture as a way to express my deep love for horses. Horses bring me joy and peace, and I wanted to capture the gentle nature of these beautiful creatures.

I was inspired by nature.i feel peaceful about it.i also like books.especially books that have a lot of detail in the pictures.

My name is Aaniya g. And I was inspired to make this piece because it reminds me of myself- lazy in the morning, and never wanting to get up.

I have been so lucky to find great art teachers on outschool. I always wanted to learn oli painting and I found the best teacher on outschool. I made this piece for my grandfather because he has eagles that come by a pond near his house. I love painting because when I paint nothing else exists. The only thing that matters is the painting. I never worry about other stuff I just get lost in creating.

I really enjoy drawing cats, I was playing a game and my grapes looked more like a raspberry so I just started drawing it over and over, and I feel very proud when I look at my drawing sense I am a younger artist and love imporving!

I’ve always loved cheetahs, so i decided this would be a perfect thing to draw and I’m very proud of how it turned out

I am a student who enjoys drawing and expressing my feelings through art. This artwork shows a child holding the Earth, which represents my hope for world peace. I was inspired by the idea that even small hands can protect our planet. Creating this piece makes me feel calm and hopeful, and it reminds me to care for others and the world we share.

This was inspired by my love for birds and nature. I hope you like it!

i drew a picture of 2 mantis squishmallows that i own irl i have a squishmallow drawing class i like all bugs and entomology

Drawing is my greatest passion, and my dream is to one day connect this creative drive to my future career. This piece is about finding peace in overwhelming situations. The deep blue water represents heavy or isolating surroundings, while the bright, golden light radiating from the figure's chest symbolizes untouchable inner joy and resilience. It captures the exact moment of a weightless, happy buoyancy. Looking at this artwork makes me feel calm and relaxed.

Catalina is a homeschooler who found a passion for art after sustaining a traumatic brain injury. She loves Outschool because it allows her to focus on learning in ways that work for her... through music, art, movement, community, discussion, and relationships. She has been learning mixed-media in her Outschool classes, and this work is a mix of color pencils and learning how to use an embossing technique. She also lives at an animal sanctuary and loves to include animals in her art.

My name is Teigan and i love making art. I usually draw anime style characters. For this i got inspiration from the amazon jungle and a Lotus flower. To me my peice gives me a sense of calm and peace.

Drawing can capture every element, emotion, and feeling that cannot be expressed by words. This piece was inspired by space, which I find both mysterious and exciting. This painting gives me the excitement of exploring new worlds, and I like to think about what exists beyond Earth. It makes me ecstatic and hopeful, and the dreams that begin in our imagination can truly become our future. Do you ever wonder about what exists apart from what our very own eyes can see?

When I was young, my mom was cutting a bell pepper and was greeted by a moaning face. I found the photo she took of it when I was searching for a reference. Bell peppers don't eat meat, but this one does.

This is one of my best drawings so far. I really like it because I think it shows a lot of emotion.

My name is Carter. I love to draw; it has been my favorite thing to do since I was two years old. I really love lions and big cats, so I decided to draw one. I don't just love drawing them but learning about them to! It makes me feel like I want to be with a lion. I hope that you enjoy my drawing as much as I do!!! Vote for meeee!!!!!
