Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

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!

This is a picture of my Australian Shepherd, Theo. He is wearing a beanie while resting his head on a table. My dad is giving him a treat for being such a good boy. I painted this because I love my goofy dog.

I’m a weaver and garment maker who pushes each project to teach me something new. I wove the striped, polka dot, and solid fabrics on an 8-shaft loom using the yarn shown, then constructed these boots from scratch on a last. This was my first time making boots. The project involved shaping with heat and stiffeners, setting grommets, securing heels, and adding leather trim. I love polka dots for both their look and structural challenge. This piece reflects my process: learning by doing.

Hello! I'm Lucy and I love dinosaurs. I love Art, specifically paleoart, too. I wanted my art piece to look like you just took a picture of a dinosaur, who might be scared of a volcano. I want the piece to make you feel like you've been swept away by some mysterious force that took you to the Mesozoic era, and instead of thinking that everything is in chaos, all you can think is "Wow, the wonders of Earth".

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

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

Hi, my name is Helen. I love drawing and painting because they make me feel happy. My artwork, “A Beautiful Morning at My School,” is inspired by a Minecraft theme. It shows the happy memories I have at school. It is a bright spring morning with the sun shining in a clear blue sky. School buses and cars are busy as they drop off children. The children are wearing their uniforms and look excited because they love coming to school to learn, play, and be with their friends.

I was inspired by the book “Impossible Creatures” by Katherine Rundell. It is one of my favorite books. I think that this piece represents how a lot of people want to “fly” and I wanted to remind people that nothing is impossible. This work is one of my best ones given the amount of time I wanted to complete it in, and viewing it fills me with immense delight.

Why I drew this picture of Kirby, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, Marx, and Parasol Waddle Dee is because it reminds me of my childhood playing all different kinds of Kirby on the Wii, GameCube, and SNES. I always played with my mom so it is a thing with us to play Kirby cause we love it. Marx is my favorite character because I think he resembles me in his wild goofy way. Plus I'm short and good at balancing on balls.

My name is Freya and I created the Snow Fox. I used acrylics on canvas. I wanted to capture my love for animals and winter. I used a cool tone color pallette. The tail was tricky, I learned a lot about how to get the shape just right. I also like drawing flowers and dogs. I enjoy swimming, gymnastics, Scratch and love art.

My name is Hannah. I love to draw, but I don’t usually draw birds. The thing that inspired my piece was that I loved spring, so I thought putting a phoenix in a spring background would look beautiful, and whenever I look at it, I feel calm.

okok here ! something that inspires me is the power of CHOICE !!!! so, the point of my art is to express the power of my own choices and that i have the freedom to make them < 3 yippie yoy OK here !

I love to read and sometimes I wish I could climb up a tree and read.I love birds they are very fascinating and beautiful.I love African elephants and how big they are.I used all these things and put them in a picture.

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

Hi, my name is Charlotte! This is my drawing featuring my OCs named Cameron (bottom) and Hyun (top). They went through a lot together, but Cameron couldn't save Hyun from the things and people hurting him. Cameron now has to live with the possibility that one day he will slowly forget Hyun's face, then his voice, and then him altogether.

Hi, my name is Oscar and I love planes, Pokémon and robots. I was inspired to create this because I wanted to make a comic strip about a little robot. The main character is called Artbot and he lives on a harsh junk planet in space but, suddenly a spaceship above explodes and flaming parts fall out of the sky! Since I wanted a happy ending, in the end he gets back up and starts again turning a bad thing into a good thing! Since its volume 1, I'm going to make more comics about robots in space.

I love drawing and music! I like how you can tell a story in art, without using any words. I feel proud of myself for making this piece of art.

I love the ocean which is what inspires most of my art. Also the same with my family which is why I add them together. I feel like nature, family, music, & friends are what makes me happy - my art is my happy life. I named my piece "Family Evolution" because humans evolved from water! In the art there is a mountain; I was named after a mountain; McKinley. Finally, I included my Ipad because that is how I connect with my world and my art and it has my favorite vinyl album - it mean a lot to me!

My name is Emilio and I love drawing because you can tell a story in your own way. I learned about the meteor shower which killed dinosaurs and that inspired me to draw Robo Dino. In this story the meteor shower causes fire and Robo Dino was the only dinosaur to survive. He lost parts of his body but found a robot body that he used to save himself. Now he is happy to start a new life in the city. This drawing makes me feel happy that the dinosaur survived and escaped the fire.

My dog and my cousin's dog inspired me because my cousin's had to give up their dog for adoption. My dog is brave because she doesn't see her sister any more.

I’m inspired by the gunmen, who remind me of the troubles of the world. I drew the flying horses because I believe everyone should have their flight.

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.

I was inspired to paint the desert during one of my watercolor classes in Outschool. I liked the subject because, even in the rough & rocky terrain you can find something beautiful. I like cactuses because they can survive through the toughest weather and still make it. It’s important to remember that even if you get discouraged - you are the cactus…you can survive anything! I don’t actually live where cactuses grow, so imagining them was my challenge.

I really enjoy art and think it is very fun and intresting. I enjoyed painting this piece because it reflects a city at dusk. It makes me want to go outside and look at nature. It also gives me the feeling of riding in a car and looking out the window, seeing in the city.

My piece is inspired by Mom. She has loved me through everything and she will continue to inspire me throughout my life. The sun, moon, and star represent how a mother’s love is big enough to fill a universe. The tree and roots represent her steadiness and commitment.

My name is Sophie! During the summer and I love catching and holding lightning bugs. My mom’s favorite painting is “StarryNight.” So this is my version of both.

I love art. And the thing that inspired me is anime and dogs. And it makes me feel proud of myself.

I try to be an aspiring artist, but I don't have too much time for it. I pumped this out in less than 5 minutes with all my effort, and I think it inspired me to continue making art.

I recently watched and listened to the book, Heidi. I was inspired by Heidi's free spirit and life in the mountains. The piece makes me feel calm and free.

Hi! My name is Anita and I always get inspired when I go outside to the nature. It calms all my stress away while I sense all the peace coming to me. I see the plants flowing, and I hear the wind gently brush in my ear. In this artwork, I make sure I include everything about what I feel about nature and how it inspires me.

I’m Harper. I love to read and art. My favorite colors are pink, green, and yellow. I love butterflies and they have never been in the sea before and I wanted to let her explore a new world. The sea creatures welcome her and are kind to her. It makes me feel happy and proud that she is brave enough to explore somewhere new.

The color palette of the sky is all I want to stare at. The way the sky is different each day, yet so beautiful, brings me joy and inspires me to make each of my art pieces unique in its own way.

It inspires me to be courageous and THINK BIG!!!

Hi, my name is Nadim. I chose to draw the sunset because it has a lot of beautiful colors and I like how the colors blend together. I like drawing nature scenes and views. This is one of my first and favorite drawings with oil pastels.

This is a character from an anime that I love. This piece makes me feel happy because it reminds me of my favorite show.

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.

i got inspiration from a game i played with a flower character. This character’s name is Tulip! She is delivering flowers (which are also tulips) to one of her friends. I made the texture with pencil shavings and glue. I used stop motion animation for this!

My name is Sarabel and I love all things creative, especially drawing. I spent a approximately 20 hours working on this drawing and am very proud of my work.

My favorite duck Sammy who loves to eat and swim.

I’ve decided to digitally draw 13 of my personal favourite bird species. from left to right; Common crow, Rufous-green kingfisher, European starling, Ruffed grouse, White-throated magpie-jay, Red-headed woodpecker, Eurasian siskin, Steller’s jay, Costa’s hummingbird, Great blue heron, Blue crane, Crested coua, Domesticated goose. I drew this in procreate. It took me 13 hours making it one of my hardest works yet.

Hello!! My name is Elyssa, and I’ve been drawing before I can remember, but started getting more into art at about 9 years old. I love both led sketching and drawing with colored pencils, so I figured I’d combine the two! This drawing is a recreation of a drawing that I made a few years back. I love animals, and I really hope this drawing inspires people to take care of and protect the environment, as well as the creatures being affected by litter and deforestation every day. Thank you! :D

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 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 a cat lover and I was inspired by the full moon that was pink this month. My piece makes me feel powerful because the pink moon gives me energy. In my drawing, the pink moon was giving the cat energy, just like me!

Hi I'm Ella what inspired my drawing was my dogs. I love to draw all kinds of animals. It makes me happy to draw them because they are so cute. I drew my dogs with pencil.

My name is Remy and I love drawing and animals! This art piece was made because we were studying the Amazon and I picked an animal to draw. This inspired a series of time-lapse sketches. It makes me feel proud.

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 Luca, and I love Poppy Playtime. Some people think it’s scary, but I think it’s exciting and full of mystery. I like figuring out what will happen next and imagining how I would escape. It feels like an adventure in my brain. It makes me feel curious, brave, and proud when I solve things, even if they’re a little scary.

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.

I drew Harry Potter because He is a brave , kind and some times mischievous hero . I also drew him because of the magic in his story and it always leaves you wondering how he is gone save the day.

Hi, my name is Dmitri. My grandpa taught me how to do stained glass several years ago. I love marine biology and anything having to do with oceans. I have a friend who has a salt water aquarium and her angelfish was born without a tail. I created my very own pattern for this stained glass window. It was a lot of fun to work on and have to learn where my glass points needed to be.

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. 🙂

I really love cherry blossoms. I also really love drawing people wearing ruffled clothing or wrinkles. The two just formed together on my paper. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I had considered adding pink, but when I set my pencil down, it just felt finished.

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 enjoy painting because it allows my creativity and imagination to come alive on canvas. This drawing captures a white-tailed deer who is wandering in woods without any fear and hesitation. I get inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding us including plants, animals and surreal nature. This reminds us that boundaries and rules are for humans, we should be free to wander, explore and choose our path to success.

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.

Minty has been my OC for a long time, but now that I'm older I decided to give her a redesign to match her energy. She mirrors me in a lot of ways (style, personality, etc.). She's playful, energetic, and loves tacos.

My piece, Moonlight From Within, is inspired by Columbina from Genshin Impact. I like how she seems calm and peaceful, but also powerful in a quiet way. The broken moon pieces she’s holding represent that the light is part of her. Even if something feels shattered or incomplete, it can still glow and be beautiful. I wanted it to feel like her strength comes from inside. This piece makes me feel calm and thoughtful. It reminds me that even in darker moments, there is still light within you.

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 piece is a representation of me and is intended to show how the song must end but that it still has beauty. I hope that it tells a story in the eyes of others.

I created this new drawing because l felt like doing something scary. I like scary things. This kind of bird is called an Oib, which is species I made up. I hope you like this drawing l made, and don’t get scared.

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.

I am from Colorado and we have bears and aspens all around the state. I also made a sunset colored background because we have colorful sunsets here.

It makes me feel like I want to dance. I am inspired by snakes and the color green.

I go to the Outschool class "The Original Pokemon Drawing Club" every Monday night. In my class, Teacher Billy gave me the instructions to make Scorbunny. He is my favorite Pokemon, and my artwork makes me feel great!

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.

I was inspired by the freezing winter nights. It gets cold here but somehow also feels warm, peaceful and a little magical.

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!

This piece came straight from my heart and it makes me feel sad for the kids that don't know when earthquakes come and they are just trying play at the park.

My name is Thaddeus, and I love insects! They're different than any other creature, and even though they're small, I figured out that they have certain abilities that mammals don't. I think it would be cool to be an insect for a day. If I were a dragonfly, I would fly around and kill all of the annoying mosquitoes.

This piece was inspired by my love for the anime One Piece and my favorite drink Olipop. My art piece was made with acrylic paint markers.

Hi,I'm Olivia I drew this during Covid while worried about things in the world & we stayed at home a lot. First the virus, sick people, then the fires in our neighborhood, houses burnt, smoke was everywhere. I saw littering everywhere too at the beach and water showed high bacteria. The world felt stressed like me. I wished for something to change all of that. Learning flags of countries in geography made me think of creating a world peace sign & a hope drawing for things to get better one day.

I'm from Canada where there is lots of snow right now. I enjoy going to the zoo and watching the snow leopards. When I look at the snow leopard in my picture, I think about how much I love to go outside and play in the snow. I like to build snow forts, have snow ball fights and go for snowmobile rides. I also like to play with my 2 out door cats who remind me of the snow leopard.

Art is my life

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I'm so happy to be in this contest! Something that inspired my art was the beautiful, colorful city and the beauty of being up high to see it, and at the same time feeling a calm stillness of being alone and sitting in the rain. I also really wanted to put my OC Nauro in it, and having him looking down on the city, which I think came out really nice! I really hope you like my art!

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

I like dragons. The picture makes me feel like I’m looking at a fire dragon eye.

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.

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.

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.

Inspired by the idea of nice weather approaching

I was thinking about my favorite animals, horses and swans. I thought that a picture of flight would be nice to draw. I chose the Pegasus because it is a horse with wings so it can fly with the swans.

It would be cool to be a tree kangaroo.

My name is Selah and i am 6 years old. I love to draw and make artwork. This painting is called Africa because I love Africa and would like to visit there sometime.

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

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.

Hi, my name is Tozer. I like building with Lego, reading (especially Wings of Fire and Harry Potter). I also taking walks in nature as well as drawing and painting. I also play the piano. I was inspired by a stormy night on the ocean. It makes me feel very intrigued. I think it has a mysterious air to it, especially the empty red boat that stands out against the rest of the painting.

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.

My piece describes the changes in my life. The time on the clock, 8:20 is around the time that I was born, an important key detail in my life. Some other changes in my life were moving houses, changing schools, and learning to love swim. The wide variety of colors I used in my artwork, they are all different, even in the slightest bit. This represents how everyone is different, and you can be your own self. No one don't need to feel ashamed, because everyone is unique in their own way.

I love the beach and the way palm trees calmly blow in the breeze

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

This piece was inspired by my mom because it is a bunch of things that she loves in one painting. It is also good practice because I want to be an artist one day.

My artwork, Carmel Pups by the Sea, was inspired by the puppies I saw on Carmel Beach during Spring Break two years ago. I wanted to capture how cute and playful they looked together, and this painting makes me feel calm and relaxed because it reminds me of a special day by the ocean.

I’m Eleanor, and I love to create digital art. I’ve been doing it for several years. This piece was inspired by a project I did in Bear’s class. It makes me feel confident and warm inside.

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!

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

I am Luca and I painted this because I love animals and I really like polar bears.

This art piece was inspired by one of my favorite stuffed animals, Peanut Butter. My family went to a cow farm where we got to feed adorable highland cows. My favorite cow looked just like the stuffed animal I picked out and named Peanut Butter. I also love sparkles and bright colors. My art has lots of color and sparkle, just like me!

Hello, my name is Aisha. The artwork I made was created digitally and was inspired by gardens full of flowers and lakes. The scenery is supposed to be very calm and cheerful; however, the focus is also on the marionette. Her expression is very tense, and she seems scared despite her surroundings. This is to create a mood of discomfort, since the scenery is deceptive, because despite how serene the area is, she seems fearful. It makes the viewer inquire why she has a troubled expression.

Doctor Doom is occasionally a villain, but usually just a nice leader trying to do what's right for his people, and he protects his country from sickness. Iron Man is a billionaire named Tony Stark who was not the best or nicest guy, but turned himself around and became the super hero Iron Man. That is a quick overview of the characters. They inspire me to work hard and be a good person too.
