Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

Hi my name is Emily and this is my art piece, it’s called “My future” and this specific art also really inspires me because in the photo you can see she is sitting down on the ground and looking up at the moon and I do that a lot and if that was me I would be trying to listen to my older self or in fact to My future, but In this it’s like I’m obsessed with my future and I’m trying to get to know her better then I know myself right now.

I’m a digital artist, and I love to draw. The ability to create anything I imagine is what draws me to art, no matter how silly or weird it may be. I always look back at what I’ve created, feeling accomplished, motivated to continue with more. This artwork was inspired by my own feelings when I create, and how it allows me to make new, incredible worlds and characters with only the press of a pencil.

I painted this tree because I love to climb tress. Trees are a good place to think and be inspired. I put in cats because they are my favorite animal. This painting makes me feel happy.

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

My name is Kyrielle and I love the outdoors and the things in summer such as butterflies and fireflies which is what inspired me to do this painting.

Despite the fact I am usually doing dragon-themed things, the thing that inspires me most is the night sky, the deep colors, and the stunning Northern Lights in this photo. I may not win, however, this piece of art was incredibly fun to draw, as well as it being the first detailed background/scenic picture I've ever done! Thank for you for reading!

My name is Amaya, and I LOVE doing art. This piece I have drawn was very fun. It makes me feel happy and proud. If I get the money I’ll split it with my brother and best friends. This piece was made by cutting out daffodils on paper and pasting it on the drawing made with pencil and marker. And to get the cloth effect I put a placemat under the paper and rubbed it with crayon. To get this opportunity to compete in this contest was amazing. Thank you,-Amaya.

I love to role play. So I'm very excited to get to enter in a drawing of one of my favorite characters. Gene Doe is one of my favorite original characters. He is 5'9, has dyed purple hair (though it is now literally unable to change due to a magical incident), and always has his guard up. This drawing portrays him in a moment of awareness and vulnerability. It's nice to see him get to be embarrassed.

My name is Agastya. I love painting, especially scenes from nature and the universe. Painting gives me peace and happiness. When I see the beauty of the world, it inspires me to explore more and imagine what lies beyond our boundaries. It also reminds me how important it is to take care of our Mother Earth and keep it beautiful by cleaning and recycling. Since life exists only on this planet, we all have a responsibility to protect it.

My name is Margaux and I love animals. I usually have my cat Benny, with me during my drawing class. So, I was inspired to paint him. I love my cat very much, so it makes me feel very nice.

I have always enjoyed drawing, and foxes are one of my favorite animals. Foxes have always made me feel calmer when times are hard. This drawing was inspired by the calmness and relaxation I feel from foxes, and while drawing.

I love spring picnics and unicorns. It reminds me that the stillness of winter doesn't last forever.

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.

This is my artwork from a class I did on outschool, and my inspiration is cartoon art and learning from other artist

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!

From time to time, a specific fascination emerges from the back of my mind: what would various objects and animals look like if they were humans? How would they act as people? What kind of occupations would they take up within society? The term “gijinka” means to personify a non-human object or creature, and designing gijinkas has always been a source of exploration for me! I hope this inspires you to draw inspiration from various household items - they could make fascinating characters!

Hi! My name is Oliver, and recently I've been super fixated on the game Undertale so I decided to draw my favorite character from it, Mettaton! This drawing was my first attempt at doing vibrant/shiny rendering and I am very proud at how I did. Undertale as a game is super comforting to me as the story is so compelling and easy to come back to. The fact my art has now reached the level of being able to portray one of my favorite characters *ever* makes my heart so happy. Thank you for reading 🖤

My name is Isabella and I like to draw. When I am not doing art, I like to play piano and write. My piece "The Fall Garden" is about the garden in fall. I like the fall colors. It makes me feel warm.

"You can always achieve your goals if you make effort to try (because my piece shows a woman walking through a field to her goals)."

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.

Im 13 years old, and I have been painting on canvas since I was 9 years old. I homeschool here in Australia, I live on a farm and love all animals,especially my horses. I love how goats can be inquisitive and get up to lots of mischief.

My name is Ulan and I am 9 years old. I love to create original art pieces. I was inspired by using different materials to create something beautiful. It makes me feel creative.

Hi! My name is Sami and I am 16 yrs old. I want to be a fashion designer when I'm older, so I decided to do a fashion inspired piece. From left to right the different era's are: Ancient Greece, Renaissance, Victorian, 1950's and Modern Day. Ancient Greece is an extra special era to me as I love Greek Mythology. My picture shows the ladies holding hands to represent the various era's of fashion history that designers still draw upon today.

I love animals, especially my lamb Daisy. Spending time with her has helped me notice how playful and full of personality lambs can be. Watching Daisy run, jump, and explore inspired me to imagine a story where she could jump right out of a book and into the real world. Creating this piece made me feel happy and proud. It reminds me of the joy I feel when I spend time with Daisy. I hope people who see my artwork feel the same sense of fun, imagination, and love for animals that inspired me.

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 piece makes me me feel like I want to remember those times because I was starting to forget about my past. The piece makes me feel a little sad because I wanted to remember my friends and Mexico, and it makes me happy because they were good memories.

We love the lumas from super Mario bros!

This piece of art means something to me. I love that every Monday my family plays games. Some are funny, some need dice. But any game at game night is fun!

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.

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.

I have always been inspired by crystals in my art.

Hi I'm Rylie. This is a painting that made because I like flowers and I like the smell of them and I like how they feel. So, this is my masterpiece.

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 really love both reading and art, so I was inspired to sketch this dragon eye in graphite by the dragon king Kazul from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles (the series was written by Jessica Day George, if anyone is interested 🙂). Kazul is my favorite dragon of all time because she is so witty and clever, and she is a strong female character AND the best friend of the main character in the series. Dragon eyes—especially this one—make me feel calm, centered, and empowered.

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!

Drawing makes me feel good and I like to express myself. It is a character from a show I like that I wanted to draw my version of.

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!!

My robot has chicken feet, two robot heads, four arms, and is exploding. I like to draw fun characters.

I enjoy all kinds of art from sketching with pencils to the flood of my watercolors on the paper. This was fun doing with acrylic paints, harder for me to blend, but I ended up really liking it.

This art piece is inspired by a Avatar

I enjoy Tom Holland and Zendaya and they inspired me to try acting. I like this piece because it shows their friendship in their relationship.

My name is Reagan. I like riding and drawing horses. I was inspired to draw a wild mustang picture after reading several books about wild mustangs. They are fascinating animals! My drawing makes me feel excited to one day see a mustang in the wild!

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.

Foxes are my favorite animal, and since I love painting, I wanted to create my favorite animal with my favorite art form. The way it turned out made me happy!

I have been a natural artist since I was little. My art styles are mainly realism and anime. This art piece, “Aileen”, was inspired from some of the work of a professional anime artist and is my newest original character. In this piece, I tried to include some defining details of her personality and her own style choices. She sports a playful expression, sailor outfit and bangs. She may inspire me to draw anime more often in the future as I feel she showcases my artistic capability.

My name is adelynn and I love dragons,drawing, hamsters, and my family. What inspired my piece is Wings of fire. I love this series of books. It makes me feel proud and happy.

I am a passionate young artist that enjoys mysterious stories of older times. I enjoy the decor and appeal of castles and the time period in which they were more common. I would love to live in a castle myself one day. This was my inspiration behind my piece.

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!!

When You stand in an art museum you get Immersed in cultures, feelings, and different time periods. When l look at an art piece l get to feel something from the artist perspective. I think it’s amazing to see peoples dreams, get brought to life on a canvas. That’s my Favorite part of the art museum. I love drawing. The moment when my pencil touches the paper I have the freedom to create whatever I want and to truly express myself.

I'm in 2nd grade and I love pandas. I created this watercolor painting in an Outschool art class. It makes me feel happy and creative. When I made it I wanted to visit Niagara Falls.

I love all the colors of the rainbow and take every opportunity to use lots of them. Originally, I wanted to create a different picture using acrylic on canvas, but it did not turn out the way I dreamed of. After a bit of trial and error, patience, and determination, I created A Fish Out of Water with liquid paint, straws and brushes. Creating this picture taught me not to give up on an idea and not to be afraid of adjusting my plans. This painting makes me feel happy and proud.

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!

A pickup truck made from LEGO is towing a catamaran, showing my love for fast vehicles on land and water. The small LEGO kid in the black jiu-jitsu uniform is me right now, still learning and working hard. The taller LEGO figure next to him is future me, who has reached all my goals and dreams. It’s like a picture of where I am and where I’m going, all built into one scene.

Hello. my name is Gracie Austin and I am 15 years old. My piece pictures a dark abyss that would seem to go on forever, but, in that darkness there is a beautiful sunset, something you would only be able to see it if you took the chance to look over the edge of that abyss. In my picture I used the dove to symbolize the hope/peace within the abyss as its wings reflect the sunset. I was inspired to do this piece because even in dark times there is always hope, if you look close enough. -Thank you.

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

Fuller

I want to be an astronomer when I grow up. I love learning about space, stars, and planets. How fun it would be if I could travel to space, visit other planets, and see the stars up close! I want to organize space tours for fellow galactic travelers so that we can all enjoy the beauty and wonder of space together.

it inspired me beacuse i like super heros so i made my own it teels a lot about me i hope you like it

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.

This painting is inspired by SZA’s SOS album cover, where she’s sitting alone at the edge of a diving board surrounded by the ocean. That image was based on a famous photo of Princess Diana sitting the same way on a yacht in 1997. I wanted to capture a similar feeling of isolation and not belonging, even as the world watches. The blue tones represent calm on the outside but sadness underneath.

I love outschool and wanted my piece to reflect the classes I have taken over the last 4 years on outschool! My piece honors my yoga class. my art class and my nature study class which is represented by the pressed flowers I did myself!

This piece shows that anyone and anything can be art and to always be your self. I hope that everyone that sees this piece will be deeply moved and inspired. -NO COPYING-

My name is Mercy and I'm 15 years old. Music has always greatly inspired me and I wanted to make a piece that represents that. I have a dream to visit California someday and make my own music, a dream that was in part inspired by one of my favorite bands, Incubus.

My name is Zayra. I have never gone camping before. So my dream is to go camping. This art makes me feel joyful.

My name is Micah and I enjoy sketching and drawing animated characters in my free time. When I am not drawing I also enjoy playing baseball. This sketch represents some characters from Guardians of the Galaxy. This inspired my piece because the characters are not real and allow me to use my imagination. I enjoy drawing unusual characters that you wouldn't see in real life.

I got a large piece of Douglas Fir bark from my grandparents' wood pile. They live out in the country and have a lot of trees and flowers on their property. I love spending time out there, building forts and picking bouquets, and that inspired me to create "Meadow on Douglas Fir." When I look at it, I feel peaceful.

I’m Aly and I love creating stories that bring light and joy into the world. Motivated by the love of my family and one of my favorite books, Pilgrim’s Progress, my animation follows a little fire fox that goes on a journey to find her long-lost relatives. I wanted to illustrate the importance of perseverance and that everyone has a place where they can belong. Sharing this message with others gives me hope that it will inspire the viewers to connect with and love their families well.

I am inspired by so many things, everyday: Media—with my favourite mysteries and my sister’s desperately awkward romance anime. Work—with the vast number of stories I see in shifts at the library. Family—with my sister’s brilliant mind and own art pushing me to create. In this piece, I wanted to combine all my inspirations through the lens of a day at my desk, with scenes popping off paper scraps in a self portrait of artistic inspiration.

There was a battle long ago in this scene.

I really enjoyed making this self portrait. It reflects the most dignified version of myself, and really speaks to the responsibilities a hold. I painted this piece with acrylic markers, and I spent a whole afternoon on it rather than doing my Homework…don’t worry I still got the homework done. :D what do you think? Worthy of a vote?

My name is Max. I live in a tiny village in Alaska at my families' sled dog kennel. I am homeschooled and I have been learning pencil drawing with Mrs. Shelby on Outschool. I have created this drawing of the three youngest puppies to show how much they mean to me. The dogs inspire me to try my best and get better at doing things with them. The dogs always have a positive attitude and approach new things with excitement.

When I was in Japan it really inspired me so I drew it on a piece of paper . Whatever you think of do it.

2026 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar. Both my grandpas, from my dad’s side and my mom’s side, were born in the Year of the Horse. I like horses because they are cool and strong. I drew a horse’s head for the Year of the Horse and used my imagination to make it special. I felt very happy while making this artwork. I hope people smile when they see my horse.

This art is a mix of watercolor, collage, and pencil drawings. It is inspired by my best friend.

Hello, my name is Heidi. I made this piece because nature inspires me–it’s one of my biggest inspirations! The girl in the dress is me, being inspired by the beautiful world around us! By my house, poppies bloom on the hills around this time, and it’s beautiful. You can see mountains in the distance that are just a perfect backdrop, especially when there are clouds. I think nothing is more inspiring than nature, and that's why I made this piece showcasing that.

I love digital art and I love the Warrior Cats books, so I drew a Clan walking to the Gathering on the island. A Gathering is where all five Clans meet on the island in peace to report their news and let their warriors socialize. This inspires me because I like seeing the world from a different point of view. Also, seeing different clans come together in peace gives me hope that humans can do the same.

Hi, my name is Malcolm and I am taking a few of the Outschool drawing classes. This art piece was inspired by a horror game called Poppy Playtime, where all the toys in a toy factory come to life to take revenge on their creators. I enjoy the game very much because it’s not too scary and I find the characters really fun to draw. I really enjoyed making this piece and I hope you enjoy it too.

My name is Katelyn, and I am 10 years old. My drawing “Lone Wolf” represents independence and quiet strength. I was inspired by how beautiful and strong wolves are. I wanted to show that being different or alone can be brave and powerful.

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!

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.

My art was inspired by the wide open prairies of America. On my cross country road trip to South Dakota I found my love for Prairie sunsets. When I think of the Prairie, it makes me feel free like every hill and sunset holds a new beginning or fresh start. I chose to use Linda Stephen’s style of art to make my prairie sunset because I wanted to experiment with collages.

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.

My name is Sebi and I love penguins. I invented a world where there's a team of Ninja Penguins that save other animals and defeat evil bad guys. In this painting they're celebrating after saving all the other penguins that were captured by Evil Richard and put in a zoo. They're all free now and the Ninja Penguins are having tea! Ninja Kick KaPow!

Hello! My name is Ellie. I am so grateful to be in this competition. I love art, especially drawing anime and chibi. I'm less focused on winning and more on showing everyone what I can create!:)(although winning would be great;)) I've been drawing for about a year.

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!

Stitch is my blue and gold macaw. I've had him for 13 years he very attached to me and he is extremely quirky; he brings me so much joy.

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.

It would be cool to be a tree kangaroo.

I like writing mystery stories. I drew this picture of the Benevolent Lodge Mystery Group to incorporate into a story idea. As I drew, I felt like I was stepping into their world—almost like I was one of the members. It made me feel curious, imaginative, and proud, because the more I worked, the more the group’s personality came to life on the page.

I made it at a DIY painting 🎨 studio. I olny did it with a little help. It made me feel proud 👏 and creative.🧑‍🎨 Other people 🧑 were impressed.

I love animals and nature. My piece is showing how worlds can be connected.

My name is Emma Im 12 years old and I love drawing with charcoal pencils. I drew this piece because I love how while the heart is beating, flowers come out. it is beating creation. It makes me feel happy cause I love flowers.

This piece was inspired by the feeling of being “Starstruck”. The feeling of being so overwhelmed by the mere presence of a person, that you just…freeze up.

My name is Camilla and I am 8 years old. I made this piece as gift for my mom because it is her favorite flower. The painting makes me feel happy.

I woke up one morning with a burst of energy and the urge to create something, and even without a plan, the image of a hot air balloon came to mind and felt right to follow. I wanted this piece to reflect a calm and peaceful feeling, so I focused on creating a sense of stillness through the overall mood. This artwork represents how no matter where life takes you, there will always be a place to pause, breathe, and simply exist, showing the importance of finding peace in the journey.

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.

I take a lot of insporation from the things I watch and write. This drawing is of one of my characters from a writing group I'm in. The character is a chaotic menace, who is bored all the time.
