This piece was inspired by Greek mythology, specifically the story of Icarus. This piece is representing the last moments of Icarus’s plummet to the Icarian sea which the sea was named after.

I crochet the tree leaves with yarn and used clay for the tree and painted it with colors that give a magical feeling. I used hot glue to attach things and make vines around the tree. I used gems and minerals also for the same reason and they come from the earth. Nature inspires me and trees support all life on planet Earth. I am inspired to take care of plants and make sure life is balanced. The art makes me feel happy because of the magical feeling.

This art piece was inspired by a weeping willow and represents loneliness. I created it late at night and had soo much fun bringing her to life. Now she hangs in my stairway and depending on the day, the characters expression seems to change. Sometimes she appears peaceful; others she seems much more sad.

My piece depicts a spring morning, with blossoming flowers and dancing butterflies. The bees daintily fly from flower to flower, foraging for pollen. I love the season of spring. because it's like a stage for renewal and hope. To start fresh as buds bloom. And nature has always been one of my biggest inspirations.

I hope to help save lives through accurate weather prediction. And I hope to inspire young people like myself who are terrified of strong storms they can't control. Tornadoes, like the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013, inspire me to overcome my greatest fears!

I go to online school and every morning this is what I see. Blue skies, my favorite figures, my clay creations, a granola bar, and my water that my dad sets up. It's a such a nice way to begin my day. I wanted to capture it in my cartoony style.

Hi! My name is Brooke and I love anime, manga, drawing, creating stories, and Jesus! It's hard to explain my inspiration for this art piece, but I will try. Basically my character Aiko Atsumari (the subject of my drawing) is looking back at the past, both the good and the bad, which is signified by the direction of the lighting and darkness in the art piece.

This piece shows what it's like to be me. My brain is wired differently than many people’s, so I notice things and understand the world in my own way. Like me, the figure is vulnerable, but also calm and focused. The shapes above me are the things that help me orientate and stay attached to the world, like time, patterns, and space. Showing the world what it's like to be me makes me feel strong.

This art makes me feel proud. I like the face, tail, and mane. The hippocampus reminds me of a king so I drew a pearl castle.

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 :)

My inspiration is Nike, my leopard gecko. I am inspired by her beauty, her graceful movement, and her soft, chubby tail. I care for her and all her needs, but she doesn't always notice me. I don't mind that because I simply love watching her hunt, hide, sleep, and crawl in her habitat. I am drawn to her patterns and textures, and I was trying to not only replicate her appearance but capture her true beauty.

My name is Liliana and what inspired me was my love for animals. My favorite kind of rabbit is a Lop Eared. I love drawing animals because I love animals! They are cute, sweet, and innocent. I hope to get a rabbit like this one day.

I added a lot of neon and shiny colors to make it pop I really enjoyed making the art work and I hope you did too :)

My name is Alivia, my piece was inspired by how I love animals and the world around me.

I love painting birds and I particularly loved painting this large bird of prey because I had never heard of them before and we don't have them in Australia. I really like the contrast between the background and the main subject. I also really like how I painted his feathers in layers and the slight tilt of his head. I tried my best to capture his curious facial expression and crest feathers on his head, which resemble a quill.

My names rosie this is what inspires me its some family mcyt youtubers and the main character of all my fav animes their all who inspire me to do art and make things

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.

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 was inspired to draw this piece because I love the stars and I have always wanted to go on a camping trip. I think the stars are like little tiny campfires because they're always sparkly and they always sparkle up the night... even when the moon isn't out! I like art, when you feel confident in yourself, your art lights up your heart. When you listen to yourself, your art shines like the stars no matter who you are- you are unique,and have a gift. I hope you liked this message.:)

I came up with this piece on my own. I saw him in my head and I knew how I wanted Kai to look. I created him for an online role playing class. I drew him with one of his antlers broken because when I first introduced Kai he had run into a wall out of confusion. I call this piece “Liquid Prayers” because words cannot always relay how you feel, and sometimes you just got to let the tears fall and let people see that you feel. When I look at kai in this piece I feel like giving him a big hug.

I learned how to draw this white charcoal piece, from my art teacher, Miss Lisa. When I was done, I didn't even recognize it was mine! I like cats. I also like to sing, read, draw, and write. I hope you like my piece! Signed, Alena.

I was inspired to draw this colorful abstract cat because I am obsessed with cats. the colors in the back are like me because i am hyper and colorful. I am not here to win just to show my art and If I do that would be nice so I can buy some books and do more clubs. I hope you enjoy looking at my art.

Hi hi, I am creative, have above average smarts and like many forms of art. Including singing, water color painting, dancing, poetry and acting. One of my favorite form of art is drawing. I was inspired to draw Sarinitiy because she was a new challenge. I am very proud of her because she is very detailed and my best character yet. Sarinitiy is apart of small collection of original characters (OC), speaking of collections, I also collect rubber ducks, dolls & pepsi boxes which is random like me.

I learned a lot about the humpback whale and it made me feel happy and calm. I want to share that feeling with others.

These two are my original characters, which inspire most of my art. They both are misfits in a way who have found belonging in one another, and despite their difference in personality, they are “made” for each other in a way I guess.

I am RiAnn .I enjoy sketching , reading books and math . I visited a farm that inspired me to sketch this artwork .

Good day to you. My name is Adaire Renee and I've alway been fascinated with painting and literature. This painting is inspired by the book, "Bridge of Clay" written by Markus Zusak.

It’s art style is based of the old micky mouse cartoons but what happens in the animation is more loony tunes hope you enjoy it ;D

I love drawing, and my favorite mythical animals are dragons, and I feel confident about Drago.
