Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

Personally, I am very afraid of bugs. However, I've always enjoyed watching butterflies, which is why I decided to draw them. I am also commonly inspired by nature.

my art work was inspired by a field of flowers for the background and I love my cat so I had to put her in there.

I really like to read and imagine myself in the story. It helps inspire my work and be creative. I wanted to incorporate my two favorite things into one art piece. I also like fantasy and dreaming, so whenever I read and draw it feels like a magical experience.

My art was inspired by my class.

I made this art piece to show the coming of spring. I wanted to show how wonderful spring is, so I made this painting to show how a girl is going on a picnic because the weather is so nice. Spring is all about life blooming. Just like this art piece. Thank you!

Hello I am Penelope. This is a graphite pencil drawing of my great great grandma Louis. I used tan paper to replicate the old photograph of her. The part that I struggle with the most was her hair because it was curled up and in the corner of the picture. This photo &the woman in it inspire me because she is a part of history, she grew up as a sher cropper &had to help in the fields picking cotton

★ This awesome sauce artwork I made is inspired by peaceful and happy moments in nature. I love how animals can live together in a calm, playful way, like sharing a quiet stream or relaxing in the sun. Nature inspires me because it feels gentle, colorful and full of small, joyful moments. It makes me feel safe and happy. :D No matter what I draw, it almost always connects back to nature through the colors, patterns and peaceful feelings I see :] ★

Hi, I'm Jackson and I love everything jets. The F-35A inspired me to draw this because it is my favorite jet and I think it's absolutely beautiful. When I saw the F-35A at an airshow. I was so excited that I almost started crying. I love the F-35A so much because it's just beautiful from all angles no matter what.

basketball really inspires me, so I made a pixel art picture of an hourglass pouring dream sand. It shows a classic basketball and hoop.

I decided to create a bowl of alphabets so that I could practice my letters by eating each sound!

My name is Matea. I am in 5th grade and live in Minnesota. I am a professional actor and I am bilingual. In addition to acting, I love singing and painting. I think cactuses are a delightful part of nature. We don't have any where I live, so when I get to see them in person, I feel cheerful and terrific.

I love drawing animals, especially animals in the wild. I drew a lion cub who is curious and loves learning and exploring, just like me. When I was drawing, I tried to show its soft fur and curious face. It makes me feel happy to imagine it going on adventures and discovering new things. I hope people see how playful and brave the cub is.

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.

Hello! My name is Nadia. Ever since I was a kid all forms of art have inspired me whether that be music, painting, writing, or even little things in nature! My piece aims to incorporate how art connects with and inspires me, and I hope all of those veiwing it can experience that sense of joy from art too :))

I made it with oil pastels during an art class with April Taylor. I live in the desert, but I love a snowy climate best of all. Winter is my favorite season!

The fish were a great joy for the piece and the curves of water I thought added a great look. I did the background in acrylic paint and the fish in Sharpie, some I DID NOT SHARPIE. I like any type of art as long I'm DOING ART and HAVING FUN! Because ART IS NOT ART IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN.

I enjoy taking the architecture classes. I have learned a lot about line work and landscapes around the world.

My name is Jane and I love to draw. My piece was inspired by my new puppy, Maple. The piece makes me feel happy because I love to draw animals and I love my puppy!

I really like nature. We have bird feeders and cardinals go to it all the time. They inspired my drawing. I am very proud of my cardinal drawing and I think it's my best drawing.

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.

My inspiration is the book “Warriors” by Erin Hunter. I this piece makes me feel proud and happy, because I kept trying to get the eyes right and I didn’t give up.

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.

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?

I like to dance and dance inspires me, so I painted a dancer on the sun. It makes me feel happy.

My name is Paulina, I am seven years old. I live in a farm in Oregon. I like horses, I like drawing . I love my horse! I want to have a real one. 🙂

It is called the sea dog. I think this piece of art will make you do anything you set your mind on, and I never gave up when making it. It makes me happy to always look at it, and it is my favorite piece of artwork. I hope that people who look at it will believe they can do it, too.

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 fairies and nature. Combining them seemed like a fun idea.

I was inspired that my state holds the country’s tallest straight drop waterfall

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.

My name is Grace, and I love nature. I wanted to work with color gradient, so I chose corals, pinks, and a little bit of orange, and mixed black and purple together. It makes me feel calm, like sunsets I see by the beach or in the desert.

My name is Hunter and I enjoy drawing anime. I have taken anime classes on Outschool over the years. Some of my favorite classes have been Shine: Drawing Club: Drawing Anime Step by Step for New Beginners with Ms. Roxy, Epic Character Art: Premier Sketching With a Pro Artist with Ms. Roxy, and Anime 101-Anime and Manga Drawing for Beginners with Ms. Harriet. The classes have really helped me improve my drawing skills and I am excited to continue on my art journey.

I'm nine and from Australia. I drew this picture in a self-paced Anime drawing class on Outschool. I love it because the girl looks so happy and confident. Seeing this picture makes me happy, and being happy inspires me to be creative and keep drawing.

I drew it in class with Karina. I feel proud that I was able to do this myself.

I made this using Procreate. It is a tiny plant that is growing out of the dirt. It was really fun to use an iPad to make this.

The Power-Up Leap was inspired by Mario because he is one of my favorite video game characters. I like everything in the Mario world because it is full of fun and adventure

I love horses. We have a horse and 3 donkeys. I love spending time with them- feeding, petting, riding, brushing, but not cleaning up after them. I love to draw all types of horses and this is an Appaloosa.

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.

Hi! My name is Keegan. I love to read, write, and draw, and I thought that as a artist it would be fun to submit one of my drawings in this contest. The one I chose is a picture of the main character of a book I'm going to write, Dawn, climbing out of an underground city that was not treating her well. I think it is inspiring of her to do that, instead of just staying there. Thank you for reading about my drawing!

Hi, my name is Kinsey. I like watercolor because I can express myself. What inspired my painting was I wanted to do something tropical and with flowers. This painting makes me feel happy and like I am walking through a rainforest. Someday I would like to hike through a rainforest.

Hello! My name is Adalynn! This piece is inspired by my love for animals. While drawing it, I initially struggled because my cat's ears were too tall and skinny. I had mistakenly drawn over the ears with colored pencil, which made it impossible to erase. I overcame this problem by using a sand eraser, which was the perfect tool for the job. It was a risk to attempt a realistic drawing, but I'm very happy with the result. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you enjoy my artwork!

I have a pet named Mr. Sweetie. I was inspired to make this artwork because I want to be an artist when I grow up. I took a class on Outschool called “How to Paint a Rainbow Dream Cat.” I was painting a lot of rainbow dream cats, and I eventually decided I wanted to draw a lot of animals and I chose a bunny for this project. This drawing makes me feel good.

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 love snakes and for Christmas I received a gift to experience 1 week at Herpetology zoo for a winter camp and i saw almost ever kind of venomous/ non-venomous snake in the world. This picture is of my favorite cobra i got to see at camp. I also got to see him eat a mouse. The caretaker of the cobra forgot to lock it's tank and he escaped but luckily the cobra was found right away before hurting anyone or itself. It was a special experience to witness this winter camp.

I love drawing and 3D art because I like creating things with my hands and imagination. This piece is a macaw that I made after learning about birds. I was inspired by how colorful and beautiful they are. I used oil pastels and watercolor to make different textures and bright colors especially on the feathers and the background. This artwork makes me feel like anything is possible. A macaw can fly wherever it wants and I think our imagination can fly too, just like a macaw.

My piece was inspired by my birthstone and a book called The Sprite And The Garden. It makes me feel good that my character sketch could inspire other artists!

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

I like vehicles

My name is Liam, and I am eight years old. I have been drawing animals and improving every week with my Outschool teacher. I made this piece, because it is almost Easter. I love Easter. This is my Easter Bunny.

My piece is a symbol of creativity and perfection in my mind. Art Makes Life and Life Makes Art, that's what this is all about. My inspiration for this art is my life and that is why it's called Life Makes Art! From, AP

I am a girl who love horses. I was inspired by a horse camp that I visited last summer. It makes me feel happy about drawing what I love.

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.

Hello, my name is Sophie, and this is my art piece for the Outschool art contest! Something that inspires me, is other artists, like my Mom, artist that have entered into the contest (all of the art on here is AMAZING) and just artists everywhere! I think it’s really cool to see how people draw and how their art style is different then others.

Hello, my name is Natalie. I like to paint, crochet, draw, and explore nature. This painting was inspired by excitement for spring and warmer weather. It makes me feel happy and hopeful for an exciting year to come!

Ms. Amy inspires us to draw landmarks from all over the world. This week we sketched the Alhambra gateway in Spain, in under 40 minutes. She teaches us techniques to be efficient and draw in our own style. This is my favorite after-school activity. I look forward to it every week!

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!!!

I am artist, a writer, a singer, and much more. I enjoy being outside and around animals, and the place you will find me is in my room, in my bed snuggling and reading with my cats, or at my desk writing and creating worlds, in art or writing. I enjoys singing, and can be found singing my favorite songs. My dreams inspired me to create this art piece. I used bright colors and symbols to represent my bright spirit, and put a hot air balloon to represent her soaring creativity.

I have had a love for art since I was 7 years old. I fell in love with anime. Digital Art is my passion and inspire to work in studio working on anime one day. My teacher Ashley has been so helpful and has taught me so much.

This is the original version of Godzilla. During his first appearance in 1954 he was black and white, so I decided that using his original colors would keep a faithful design to his debut appearance, and would also feel original for today's standards. Without his first appearance and that original idea of him the franchise of Godzilla would have never started in the first place, so choosing this design is meant to give respect to the first model that ever came out.

This snow leopard inspires me because it is beautiful and majestic. Nikki Toews has taught me so much and I hope this drawing shows it.

Copper's eyes are the focal point of the piece, nailing them was my inspiration. The drawing makes me feel accomplished and capable as an artist and excited to grow in the skill.

I chose to draw this tree to show that something scary and a little weird can still look beautiful. I also chose this drawing because I have always loved to climb trees because it makes me feel calm. I think this drawing shows that same feeling. It's calming even though the tree is all gnarled.

My piece was inspired by my love for Squishmellows. It makes me feel happy!

This drawing was inspired by people who kept going even when it was hard

I was inspired to make this piece using memories of watermelon popsicles that I used to eat as a kid while in the park alone. Whenever I draw I feel inspired my loneliness and sadness. In the corner is shown the popsicle stick being thrown out with the words "won". The Watermelon popsicles I used to eat often had a win or lose system as I cute gimmick, and it being thrown out shows how some people do not feel bothered by winning even in small amounts.

My name is Aria. I love creating art. I enjoy sculpting, sketching, painting watercolor and acrylic. Anything from fashion design to nature or even mythical. This flower represents growth and beauty.

I like Anime

I drew an astronaut because astronauts really inspire me. They get to go to space and see things that most people will never get to see, like planets, stars, and the Earth from really far away. I think that is amazing. It must take a lot of bravery and hard work to become an astronaut, and that makes me admire them even more. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be an astronaut in the future. It would be really cool to float in zero gravity and travel on a spaceship.

My name is Charlotte and I love drawing animals. This drawing makes me feel good and I am proud of it. What inspires me is mostly nature and animals like big trees, cute foxes, and sometimes my pets. Another thing that inspires me is books! I LOVE reading and they really help give me ideas for drawings. One more thing that inspires me is other drawings and paintings.

I love being a Girl Scout, baking/cooking, making friends, nature and drawing. What inspired me to sketch this was the beauty of human life and how it’s important to have nature on your shoulders and the treasures it brings to our lives. When I was looking through photographs of people and decided to work my first hyperrealism piece this one made me feel warmth and happiness within my soul. It reminds me of nature and autumn, like I am walking through an Aspen forest.

This is a character I created using ohuhu markers and sketching pencils.

Howdy! I created my Barnside Blooms piece with air dry clay and old wood from a barn. Making this made me excited because I took some of my favorite flowers I see by my cow barn and sculpted them to last a lifetime. I was inspired by spring time and wanting to have flowers that are vibrant year round.

My artwork is inspired by the koi fish, which represents strength and motivation. It reminds me to keep going even when life is hard. The calm movement of the fish brings peace and shows me to trust the journey. With faith, I believe God is guiding me. This piece reflects staying strong, growing through challenges, and moving forward with courage.

I like nature and many animals. I painted this owl because I have always liked owls and wanted to paint one myself to show and share with others. This painting makes me feel brave!

I enjoy painting and realistic drawing. This piece, title Dream Cat, is inspired by my love of cats and John Nieto's Wildcat. I proud of this artwork. It makes me feel happy.

I have always loved art and I find it an easy and enjoyable way to express myself. I like to do portraits in lot of different mediums. I was inspired for this particular piece by how being surrounded by nature can make you feel comfort and inspiration.

I take drawing classes on Outschool and I like to draw every day. I really like drawing characters and working on shading. In this drawing, I tried to make the face expressive and added details like the eyes, hair, and hand. I was inspired by characters I like and added my own details. It feels calm and a little mysterious, like she is thinking something but not saying it.

I'm Zuwena, and I really like old cartoons. I made this piece inspired by one of my favorites, Mysterious Mose, because it got into the public domain recently. Also I just wanted to depict how loving and being loved in return chases away all negative and mean things people might say about you.

I love reading and I love drawing, its fun to get lost in both sometimes.

Hi! I'm Samantha and I have been doing art as long as I can remember, and I have always loved it! My piece is a surprising friendship between a yellow Labrador and a Mallard duck along a pond with a beautiful mountain setting. I love this piece because it reminds me of my favorite animals along with my favorite setting, mountains. My love of the outdoors and animals is also what inspired this piece.

Being autistic, I know stress and anxiety. Social life, school, and more- the list goes on. However, there are always two things I know help me: gaming and art! Taking a moment away and gaming in peace helps me feel calm and relaxed. I put those strong feelings into this animation. I spent a lot of time on this piece! I focused on lines, shapes, color language, and value when drawing. My biggest hope for this piece is that you relate to and/or remember this piece before you go to bed tonight.

Hi!! I'm Sheherazade ;D I'm 12 yrs old I absolutely LOVE astronomy and outer space!!!! That's how I got inspired to make this piece. It makes me feel relaxed, at peace, and amazed because how how beautiful it truly is. I know it definitely looks nothing like real space butI hope ya still like it!!

it's my OC art pace kawaii space mew god Evee goodness family lgbqt

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.

The inspiration for my artwork is space. Space has always inspired me so when I saw the category for the competition I knew that I had to do space. My artwork makes me happy and I am proud of it.

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.

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

My name is Fiona and I LOVE cats. I drew a picture of a cat, because cats inspire me! Cats are persistent, athletic, and of course ADORABLE. This cat I drew has only three legs, but it still shows its glimmering rainbow fur to all the world! 🐱

Hi, I'm Ivy and, yeah, I drew Sanji from an anime called One Piece. A few years ago, I was watching One Piece for the first time and immediately I was drawn to Sanji. I wasn't sure at the time why, but now I can say with confidence that he has a kind, caring personality that I idolize and look up to. While I may not make it to the final few or is as talented as others, I will always continue drawing and draw Sanji because he makes me feel like I can be somebody.

Hello! I am a young artist who likes to draw digitally, traditionally, and I also create animations! This piece was for my godfather; showing all the fun times we had together in our little group of me, my brother, my friend, and my friend’s brother (the gang:).

I was inspired by a video of paper dragons. I have never made one but always wanted too. This is the fourth dragon puppet I have completed. I love Scarlet macaws so I wanted to make a Scarlet macaw dragon.

This was my first attempt at drawing with my oil crayons, so I drew one of the animals I've been learning about: an eagle. I practiced a blending technique to make the sky different colors.
