Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

I love making art and using bright colors. My artwork shows a sweet birthday celebration with a piece of cake that looks like ice cream. I was inspired by birthdays, celebrations, and sweet treats. I used bright colors and sprinkles to make it feel fun and exciting, like a party. The candle represents making a wish. This artwork makes me feel happy, excited, and remembering special moments.

I love drawing and reading. I took a picture of my kitten and made a pixel art version of it. The picture makes me feel hopeful.

My name is Jaya and my passion is to draw cats. Fire is the name of a comic book I’m making. When I draw cats, it makes me feel good and it’s really easy to draw my cat. It’s really cool with the eyes I make, and I love making my cats. It makes me feel good.

I have a favorite tree in my grandma’s yard that feels a little magical. It is kind of hidden and I enjoy climbing up and sitting in it. My dog Skibby will often follow me. I also love the Fall and all fairytales so I added in things like the pumpkins and the little gnome. I also love fashion, so I designed a dress I would love to wear with little white butterflies on it. I enjoy drawing, painting and working with clay, so this art piece combines all of these things together.

Hi, I’m Madelyn. I love to do art and I made this piece because apples are gorgeous and I think it would be nice to go outside on a beautiful afternoon and pick an apple. If you study it, you can see that apples do amazing things for the world.

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.

Hi my is Winter. I wanted to draw this because I really love wolves. I love all types of canines but the wolf is my favorite wild animal. I like how wolves have one leader of the group which is the Alpha. They are the protectors of the pack and help guide them to keep them safe. Painting this makes me feel like I want to paint some more. I love looking at this painting and staring into the wolves eyes. This painting is now hanging in my art room so it can be seen everyday.

~ Sun and Moon, sisters in soul, pass each other in a fleeting moment of wonder; dancing in starlight. ~ Hello, thank you for reading this and viewing my art! My name is Madeline and I've always loved making art, but I didn't start digital art until 2020 during the pandemic. Since then I have enjoyed following my art journey wherever it has led me. The inspiration for this piece came from eclipses as the concept has always fascinated me, and I recently viewed one from my backyard.

I have always been inspired by nature and the seasons changing. Fall is my favorite season, and that's what inspired this drawing. I tilted this piece "Reflections," because I believe it is important to look in the mirror and see the beauty that is you. The reflection of the trees in the water shows how pretty they are all over again, and I think we should do that too.

Hello! My name is Jayson and I’m fascinated my tragedy and comedy masks and jesters (both of which were my inspiration). A jester, something thought of to be joyful, using a mask used to display a set emotion on a stage with no crowd. The mask being used to hide something that the circus does not want the audience to know. Being controlled by string, unable to do anything with his own will using the mask to hide it all. Sometimes our life’s are like that, we try to hide how we really feel.

Hello! My name is Gabby, and this piece is inspired off my two favorite cookies, Pure Vanilla Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie, in the popular game: Cookie Run Kingdom! I love the dynamic between these two characters, and the lore between them gives me goosebumps every time! Even if you are unfamiliar with the game, I do hope you at least enjoy the fanart! (Fun Fact!: This piece was drawn traditionally, and colored digitally!)

I love to make different art work. I have dyslexia, and art helps me express myself or my thoughts with no words. I painted this because teachers forget that even though I struggle with my writing, I do know how to express myself. People who are different feel lost in the shadows. My artwork makes me feel happy because I know that in the end I am bright. That is why I draw my star, and my face.

My piece is sunset with stars, clouds, and the moon, over an ocean near a beach. I thought it would be cool to do for a piece because sunsets are beautiful. Scenes like this make me feel amazed. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm inspired by game art

In this piece, I wanted to combine bright happy colors to create a dress that feels like it belongs in a fairy tale. My goal is to become a fashion designer who makes clothes that make people feel confident.

I have only done comic drawings before but I decide to take a class and have been learning how to draw more realistic art. I still love my comics but I also love learning new ways to use my art. I hope to one day use my asset in a career.

I am Amina, and I love sketching on my pad, and coloring on procreate. My inspiration for the piece was actually a homework assignment! I was asked to do a drawing of my own deity, god or goddess to present, and here it is! This girl you see here is Equality, the deity of balance. She is the one who keeps things equal between humans, plants and animals. This piece makes me feel proud.

I wanted to draw and showcase food.

I wanted to paint something, and the reference really spoke to me. I went to a painting place to make it. It is a very calming piece.

My mom and dad inspired this piece. They care for me and help me, and most of all, love me. They are the best parents I could wish for and I love them so much. Truly, they are my heroes.

I’m a young artist who’s been drawing digitally for the past nine years. I’ve always had a sort of fascination with cities and the mystical appeal they have at night. The idea of so many different people of varying origins having so many different experiences all in one place always appealed to me. The serenity that a night cityscape offers is what inspired me to create this piece and I sought to capture the sort of contemplative, deeply soothed atmosphere that only a glowing city can provide.

Hello, I’m Hayden! I love to read, play sports, write, draw 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

I like drawing and using lots of colors. I made this picture by imagining I am standing in the middle of a city and looking up at tall buildings all around me. The buildings are all different and colorful. I was inspired by New York City and how big everything looks when you look up. I wanted my city to look fun and bright, so I used many colors and shapes. This picture makes me feel happy and excited like I am in a big city.

I am 6 years old. I learned about Cardinals in my art class and they are colorful, cheerful, and pretty like my parakeets at home!

My name is Zoey I am 13 years old. I have been homeschooled my whole life and I love my warrior cats role playing class on Tuesday nights. Currently Warrior Cats is my favorite series I loved the Power of 3 and that’s what inspired me to create this picture

Hello! I was inspired to create this piece because ever since I could remember I've always had a love for sunsets and sunrises they remind me of God's beautiful creation and how every morning and evening he paints the sky with vibrant colors, it fills my heart with joy knowing he creates his masterpieces just for you and me.

I love owls, birds, and sunset. This piece was chosen due to my love of these things and the beautiful colors, I love the contrast the eyes create.

I love bearded dragons. I have 2 as pets. They are very social and excellent pets to have.

I am a homeschool student. I like all forms of art from drawing, painting, sketching, acting, etc. I was inspired by the play Winnie the Pooh that I am playing Kanga in.

My family took an RV trip around the US and we saw this pretty waterfall. I was taking a landscape drawing class and was excited to incorporate what I was seeing and what I was learning.

I love the beach and the different shades of the ocean as it goes deeper. When the fish jump in the water and the sun sets, it makes me feel happy.

This is a drawing of my pet spider Bellatrix lespider or bella

There wasn’t really a clear inspiration for this piece, but I’ll try to give a bit of a walk-through. The character is inspired by WOF -Wings Of Fire, which is a dragon book series and my artist persona. I have always had a love for willow and wisteria trees, and love artworks that showcase things like rivers, oceans and waterfalls. The title is partly inspired by the book The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe. This piece makes me feel at peace with the whole… flowy and mystical feel! :3

it is me

This watercolor painting was painted by first painting the sunset background and then adding the other layers after it dried. This painiting makes me feel calm.

Hello! This is my entry for the art contest. It took me about… 4-6 hours? I made the setting during sundown, because i thought it looked better compared to the lighting during day/night. The girl in the middle is one of my characters that I’ve been drawing for 2 years. I wanted to highlight her while the other people blend into the background. The ideas just been sitting in my mind for a while but i never got the chance to draw it until now!

The movie Stitch inspired my piece putting my own spin on the creature wreaking havoc theme. Looking at what I created I feel proud.

I'm an animal lover. I especially love deer when they are young. I also thought the little hat & bow tie looks perfect on him. When I draw, I like to keep my art a little realistic & a little cartoonish. This art piece makes me feel really happy & creative.

I painted this because I love surfing and the tropics. I wanted to make a big, bright wave and a warm sunset. I used lots of colors to show the sky and the water moving. The wave is my favorite part because it feels strong and fun, like riding a wave. I just painted what I imagined and let it flow like the ocean.

I like drawing photos of places I visit. This is a photo of the bridges and streets in Pittsburgh, at sunrise. The picture makes me feel happy because I like the details in it.

When Marnie was there is a Studio Ghibli movie you can find on HBOmax. I like Marnie because she's really pretty and fun to draw.

Hello! This is a Halloween based drawing of siblings dressed as skeletons in pixel art! Normally I like drawing eyes, ears, arms/hands, etc, but this time, I made two people's full bodies! I also like doing pixel art digitally.

I seriously don’t know why I made this, I was lying in bed and I had a sudden thought about drawing a snake, then I just built on that. Everything below the collarbone on the skeleton is based of a Google image, the rest is from my imagination, hence why the snakes look like gummy worms 🐛. Uhhhh I don’t know what to put…I spent around maybe 6-8 hours on it, during class periods, and I was really scared to color the snakes because it was my first time using shading and blending with color. Tysm!

I just love creating! I created this after one of my classes talked about Picasso.

In this piece, I showed what I include in a lot of my art. My differences, they are what make me unique, and what I love most about myself. In this drawing I am the rainbow dog, and everyone else are the cats. What inspires me to draw is myself. I'm also a proud LGBTQ+ member!

Dedicated to the conservation heroes who inspire children like myself to care, research, restore, and educate. My childhood mission to bring awareness to climate change, illegal wildlife trade, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution is driven by influential conservationists, environmentalists, and activists such as Steve Irwin, Jane Goodall & David Attenborough. “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved.” -Dr. J. Goodall

I work with a variety of artistic mediums to express different ideas and emotions. This particular piece was inspired by my empathetic nature and a question that has often crossed my mind: do angels ever feel overwhelmed or overworked, constantly being called upon when they are needed most?

I like cats and drawing! Cardamom and Putchie are my cats, and they are really cute. They make me feel very happy and I like them a lot.

I’ve always loved creating art. “Wolfychu Fanart” is a piece inspired by a story time animator on YouTube named Wolfychu, I’ve enjoyed her content for years and wanted to make something to express how much I appreciate her work. “Aurelia’s Rage” is a piece inspired by my story, which I’ve been writing for the past 6 years. It was also a way to experiment with monochrome colors, and see what my art would look like if i didn’t stress over it looking perfect, and just drew what I wanted.✨

I really like the colours in the sky when the sun goes down. I visited Beijing with my family in the summer and when I looked out the window I saw this. I wanted to paint it. I love painting and drawing.

I am a young artist. I love, nature, animals, drawing, and ballet. This year I've learned a lot about drawing animals from my teacher Jessie and it really helped me express my art better. I picked a tiger because I wanted to draw an animal in the jungle. When I see a picture of a tiger in the jungle, I feel brave and peaceful. It inspired me to be brave and submit my art to this contest.

My name is Cornelia and I am learning how to watercolor paint. I like it because I have fun doing it. This piece of art is called The Roadway Sunset. I like this piece of art because it's pretty. It makes me feel happy.

I’m an artist and percussionist. The leaf in the picture is a real leaf that exists. I got the leaf on a visit in Opelousas, LA to see a professional artist that has artwork in museums. Her name is Mare Martin and she is also a gardener. The leaf came from her garden and I painted a still life of it. I creatively added the background from my imagination. When I painted it, I was excited thinking about the colors and how to make it cool. I had fun with it.

I have a lot of inspirations for this piece, but the main ones are otters and axolotls, who I based the two alien creatures on. The red sky with two suns is a nod to some real-life solar systems that have two stars in them.

I am a lover of Japan and anime and love art. The characters are cool and I love their faces they make and how happy they look. I love using markers to make my drawings look real and make my art pictures for decorating my room so it can be like my own cool anime place!

My name is Nixon and drawing makes me feel good about myself. For my majestic bee, it makes me feel great how the colors look.

I like horses and sailing. It started off as the portrait of my house and then evolved to a beach scene.

My name is Addyson and I love being in nature. The rhododendron bushes in our yard inspired my painting. When look at it, it makes me feel happy.

Howdy, I'm Savannah, and I made it! Whoo hoo! Anyways, why this inspired me was because I adore books, dragons, and playing the keyboard. Each one inspires me greatly, so why not put all of them together? This is Daydream Mirage, and maybe one day it won't be so much of a mirage.

I learned about this mysterious plane on Youtube so I clicked on it to see what it was. I wanted to figure out why this plane crashed and I decided to make a drawing of it. What happened and the drawing made me feel sad because there were a lot of people in it. I chose purple, pink, and yellow so it felt like a dream as if it was still flying.

Hi! My name is Chrissa and I love art!!! I absolutely adore cats and this drawing was inspired by a VERY cute cat named Coco. This picture makes me feel so happy!!!

My name is Joshua, and I love art. I have been taking classes on Outschool with Mr. Stokes and Mr. Chris. My piece is about my brother. He passed away at 4, and I didn't get much time with him. In my drawing, I wanted to capture his imagination. I thought about whether he was alive today, and that he would have been ready to graduate high school, work, and travel. However, I was only able to capture his short childhood and things he liked, such as dinosaurs, cars, the beach, and the forest.

I am 9 years old and I love art. I love to draw and paint with water colors. My sister loves Harry Potter and my teacher suggested I try to make it. I am proud of my painting. It makes me happy to paint and see other peoples reactions.

I love to be creative and crafty. What inspired me to draw Heeseung-Evan was because he was in a K-Pop group called Enhypen. He is now a solo singer with a stage name Evan. He was my favorite member of Enhypen for two years now.

Hello! My name's Sybil, and I make a bunch of OCs when I'm bored! I played a game called Cookie Run: Kingdom, and there were two new costumes that were in the game which was a playwright and actor. I got inspired by it, and drew some costumes for my two OCs - Pluvia and Tempestade (Tempestade is male). I always got a feeling of calmness and solemness when i look at the art. It does feel relaxing, like a calm dance.

I drew a JJ Maybank, a character from my favorite tv show, Outer Banks! This is my first graphite drawing, and the first person I've ever drawn! I learned a lot by drawing this and I really enjoyed doing it!

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

I am the second of five kids and my family is my favorite place to find inspiration. I love to make my younger brother laugh with the cartoons I draw and my older brother and I love to design and build things with Lego. This drawing is of my grandfather. He died a couple of years ago and it left a big hole in my heart, drawing him helps me to feel connected to him and to the heritage of values he passed on to our entire family; being honest and courageous in everything we do.

I am inspired by nature and feel most at peace when doing art. Nature and art make me feel like I belong in a world that can sometimes feel lonely.

Hi my name is Harper. I was 7 when I made this painting of the tiger eye with Miss Amy in watercolor. It makes me feel strong.

Hi! I like drawing and painting, especially blending lots of colors and experimenting with paint. I was inspired to make this piece by using my imagination to think about a landscape I'd like to explore. I wanted to create something that felt interesting and a little bit magical. Making the circles makes me feel calm, and I like how the colors and shapes came together.

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 love digital art. I am getting more into semi-realism. I was inspired to draw this because I think it’s cool that women can be feminine but also strong.

I have enjoyed drawing since I was young. I became serious about art approximately three years ago. Drawing is my happy place, it is my passion. The Doise is a character from a game called Pizza Tower. He is funny, chaotic, and theatrical in a comical way. My goal is to attend art school after I graduate from high school.

I love nature and animals. I created this piece using water colors for the first time. I began to paint this to give to my mother for her birthday and the inspiration came from giving my mom something great that can not be bought. I decided to give her a peaceful day. The fox in the meadow makes me feel at peace sharing a warm loving experience to my beautiful mother.

I love horses and everything about them. I am learning all about them and how to draw them. I love to ride and ride every week and I ride in pony clubs too.

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 saw this video about what could happen if a cat in Egypt is harmed because there are laws against it. I thought Egyptian cats were pretty, so I decided to paint one. For some reason, every time I see my painting, I feel impressed.

This is my dad's favorite animal and I made this for his birthday.

I enjoy creating art that tells a story through color, nature, and imagination. This piece was inspired by a dream of a magical world full of birds, where the rainbow seemed endless and the moon glowed like the sun. A great crane soaring peacefully through the sky made me think of freedom, hope, and beauty. It reminds me to believe in myself, think big, and imagine endless possibilities.

I really like Spider-Man and skyscrapers. I used watercolor and pencil to make my picture. My picture makes me feel very happy.

My name is Misha I am from Tampa Florida. I was inspired by my cat, Hunter, and my dad who is a musician. I am also a musician who is learning to play the piano and the guitar. The reason I picked a cat is because I love cats so much, and I picked a piano because I am learning the piano. I made a digital art using Procreate which I have learned thanks to Outschool and Ms. Uli. I used different gradients and some special brushes to create a lovable character Rock Star Kitty.

I did a collage out of magazines!

My name is Caroline. My artwork is inspired by NASA’s female astronauts who have helped expand human exploration of space. Their courage inspire me to dream about the future, to become an astronaut and explore outer space, to help humanity better understand the universe. The red and white koi (fish flowing around the astronaut’s helmet ) are known for swimming upstream, representing humanity’s determination to overcome challenges and push beyond limits even when faced with uncertainty.

Hello my name is Sophie, and I created this art because I wanted to make something calming and not to crazy. I really enjoyed making this piece, it made me feel passionate and calm. In this piece, this bear came to the park to have a fun day on her bike. She is hoping you like this art. I hope you enjoyed looking at my piece!

I love art so I really wanted to enter this art competition. My mommy likes the beach a lot , so I made this beach styled art. I made me to show it was made by me. I'm glad to share this with you guys!

My name is Fia, and i like to draw and play with friends and family. One day my mom saw a cool art piece and when i tried it out really liked how calming and fun it was to make. It makes me feel like all my emotions are mixed together in a big ball.

I am taking a watercolor class. This piece was painted during the class. It makes me feel in tune with nature.

I have always loved art because I can be as creative as I want, so long as I don't care how it looks. I've always liked how the moon looks, and it inspired this piece. I decided I would go for a dark tone to highlight the moon. This is a magical forest scene, looking out from deep within. There are two hidden runes and lots of other mysteries if you look closely. I'll leave those for you to find. This piece makes me feel creative and like there's lots more to discover.

well i love cats and i love Christmas too so I decided to bring those two together and make kitty Christmas.

My grandparents live in Rome and I would like visit London and Rome. It’s a magical bridge that can take you to different places. The colors are bright and make me feel happy. My favorite parts are the Colosseum and the colors of the water. The person on the bridge is me.

This art piece is inspired by a Avatar

The magic and myth of mermaids inspires my imagination.

I wanted to make a cool art work for this. and then i thought of a prison break sounds cool and unique, I also did a analogist colors or whatever its called, using only three colors

Hi, my name is Ernaila, and I drew this because ice cream is my favorite dessert.

This piece invites the viewer to imagine the beauty of coming home after a long day at sea. The warm colours of the sunset and the reflection on the water show the feeling of a job well done. I found it challenging to create the small details, especially the people and the boat. I loved painting this. I hope that when people look at this artwork, they feel at peace and that they are loved.

I created this piece with acrylic paint, letting bold colors and movement guide the scene rather than trying to control every detail. The sky shifts from deep blue into warm bursts of gold and red, while the quiet crescent moon balances the intensity below. As I painted, I allowed unexpected marks and small imperfections to stay. Instead of taking away from the work, they add character and make it feel more real. To me, those moments aren’t flaws—they’re what bring the painting to life.

My name is Blake. I am 17 years old, and I’ve been making art since I could hold a crayon. Marine biology has always inspired me. In this piece, I contrast bright, eye-catching colors with darker elements to reflect both the beauty of marine ecosystems and the dangers they face.
