Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

This piece was inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. It depicts a young Persephone, before she meets the king of the underworld. This is one of my favorite Greek myths, and I even wrote a song about it! I think this is one of my best pieces yet, and hope you like it!

Hi, My name is Francene and I’m an eleven year old girl. I love to animate and draw. I do both physical and digital art but I decided to make a digital animation. This piece was inspired by a book series called Warriors. I am proud bringing the book series to life.

I love sports and art. I usually draw and paint with water color but was inspired by my older brother to start painting in procreate. The rain storm makes me feel annoyed and stressed until I see the rainbow. First I’m sad because the rainbow is broken, but I notice the rainbow can still reform so then I am happy because it means the sun is coming up. I hope you will enjoy my work.

I like painting animals. The inspiration behind this piece is that I have the cutest Boxer dog in the world and I just love boxers. This picture is of my boxer and his siblings. This picture makes me feel really happy and grateful for my puppy.

"Raining Inspiration" came from things in my life that inspire me in my day to day activities. The things I drew represent what I love - my family, friends, nature, books about dragons, my faith and so many other things. I feel proud to share my drawings and feel like I can soar when I have these items represented in my art.

I am passionate about art and attended many art lessons on Outschool. All these wonderful art teachers helped me to become more confident and to enjoy creating more than ever! - Our family got the long awaited Golden Retriever Rosetta. I was so happy to draw her, am really proud of my drawing. Without all the Outschool lessons I wouldn't have been able to draw her like that! - Outstanding Miss Shannon from "Ready Set Fitness" told me about this Showcase as I had told her how much I enjoy art.

Being with my family and going to the beach inspires me most. The ocean, sunshine, and time together make my imagination come alive. At the beach, I dream up magical creatures, big adventures, and beautiful worlds. My art shows how love, nature, and special family time can stir wonder and fill my mind with ideas to create.

I love art and specifically I enjoyed playing with lighting in my art. This piece was inspired by elf characters I created and wanting to practice more with lighting.

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.

When I was younger I didn’t like any sports to play in my free time. Then I discovered my passion. Drawing. Soon I later learned that the pen and paper was my power. Every artwork I make makes me feel proud and want to continue my art journey. From what began as a stickman evolved into an artwork that made people happy. :)

My name is Kreday, This is my work A Mother’s Love. In this work there are people trying to kill the gold baby dragon for its golden scales, but the mother tries to protect her child by putting her life on the line. This shows how your parents sacrifice a lot for you. I wanted to draw a dragon, and I wanted to add a story to it. And I was thinking of greed and love, so I made poachers trying to kill a mother dragon, to kill its child for its golden scales.

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!

I am a huge person that is a part of many different fandoms. One show that really got me into so many others was Generation Loss. This is a depiction of what I thought could have happened at the end. It makes me feel almost proud for this depiction but also suspenseful for what going to happen to the hero.

I love making art and this piece is one of my favorites overall. I did this piece in class and I was very happy with how it turned out after shading it in and taking my time with this artwork.

Since I love DELTARUNE, I decided to draw a character from one of the game's AUs (alternate universes). I was inspired to draw him because I love his theme song! Scampton is a character from DELTARUNE: Chapter Rewritten. He's a clown who goes insane after being forgotten in a castle dungeon for a long time.

My name is Mali, and I was inspired by a picture in my room. I have an amazing teacher who helped me with the foundation of this piece.

My piece is called Angry and it is inspired by the Scream by Edvard Munch. When I drew it, it brought back emotions and feelings from when my dog passed away on my birthday. When she died she was young and I thought she was going to live longer. I was so angry and I drew stuff in my classes to help me with my emotions. It helped me to get over it. I was also inspired by the movie Inside Out and the character anger. My sketch teacher taught me how to do dark and light shading with my art.

I love art and have been studying it since preschool. I spend much of my free time at art classes or drawing in my sketchbook. This art was inspired by the snow we had this year and my love for nature especially highland cows. I hope to be an artist when I grow up.

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

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

Vivian is a creative and imaginative drawing artist who brings ideas to life through her unique perspective and attention to detail. She enjoys expressing herself through sketches, using lines, shapes, and shading to tell stories and capture emotions. Her artwork reflects both her creativity and her growing confidence as an artist, making each piece a meaningful expression of how she sees the world.

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.

My name is Jane, I’ve been drawing my whole life and is my favorite thing to do. I created this drawing because I was hungry for chocolate pudding. I thought it would be fun to draw a cat made of pudding. The drawing makes me feel proud of myself because it was one of my favorite drawings I’ve done.

I have been learning about different animals, and really like tropical fish. They are different colors and shapes, so I decided to paint one. I chose these colors as they are bright and stand out. I added paint splashes for the bubbles in the sea.

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.

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.

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.

the piece was inspired by the many anime that I watch

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

Hi! My name is Maisie. I really like drawing little people. I feel like this is one of the best drawings that I have done. Art is something I'm good at and enjoy. I like to spend time in my room drawing different things.

I'm a reader. I love dogs, so I wanted to draw one for this contest. My piece was inspired by one of my dogs named Spotty. My drawing makes me feel happy because dogs are really special to me.

We love the lumas from super Mario bros!

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'm a digital and traditional artist; digital for four years and traditional for eight. What inspired me to make this piece was how my mind works, how I imagine myself when I come up with a story or world idea and how I'm able to pick up a pen and make it come to life. It makes me feel at peace and at home.

Well I really like Donuts! I thought this would be very funny, and creative. Who doesn't want the last Donut?!

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." That quote by Winston Churchill really shows you that even though change can be hard, failure can bring you freedom, and freedom can bring you new opportunities.

My name is Ariella and I enjoy drawing both digitally and traditionally. Anime has been a big part of my inspiration and has really reflected in my style (as you can see). The name for this piece comes from the sword Zoro is holding; The Wado Ichimonji. The sword name literally means "straight line through the path of harmony" and holds a great significance in Zoros life. I was inspired to make this piece because I just started watching the One Piece live action series and its totally awesome!

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.

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

Everyone should believe in themselves even when the going gets tough.

My piece is inspired by my love of dogs! While I don't have a pet dog yet, I love to draw and imagine what having a pet dog would be like. This pencil drawing is a picture of a Beagle named Cheddar.

I love different kind of arts. I play the guitar, I paint and I create movies in stop motion. I love learning about space and paint from my imagination. When I was at a school’s overnight nature trip, I saw the starts and it inspired me. This paining makes me wonder if this galaxy can exist and where it would be. The beautiful colors make me feel peaceful when I look at it.

So I like to draw a lot of buildings, ranging from small lodges, to big skyscrapers. I got inspired by all the books I read (I read, a LOT), and decided to make a Storybook row about the fairytales. It makes me feel kinda' magical you know, like all these little details that make it feel alive.

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.

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.

My name is Luke and I love to build. I hope to build a building one day that makes people feel loved, like how heaven is.

My name is Ellie and I like dogs and drawing cute pictures. This sketch inspired me because I like leopards and animals. I like the details I added on it. I want to be a vet when I grow up.

Hi my name is Mizra, I am 8yo and I like superhéroes, I started with this video since I observe a stop Motion class in outschool, I am trying my best to win This competition and be a superheroe. I had a lot of fun making this movie.🐥🐶🐱🐸

I wanted people to feel happy, cozy, and snug as bug! I love Christmas and waiting for presents in the morning. When I think of Christmas, I think of a crackling fire, a bright Christmas tree, and snuggled up on the couch watching snow fall.

My name is Santino. This piece was inspired by my imagination. It makes me feel proud of myself and happy.

Goldie is the main character in a sequence of books and animations.

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 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.

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 like to draw animals and reptiles. My favorite reptile are snakes. I chose to draw a chameleon because it is a reptile and a unique one. Chameleons make me feel cool because of it’s ability to change colors and blend into its world.

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

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

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:).

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.

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!

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!

For my art piece I tried to make a character as creative as possible. I added features like a cool ring eye and I went for a manga style look. I made this piece look unbalanced and gave it quirky details that I liked. Voin is supposed to be a malfunction or a weird human but he ended up being a really awesome soccer player that's really nice (and funny) :)

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.

Hi my name is Shareef. I really love to draw because I get to change whatever I want, however I want. My brother was drawing an axe and that inspired me to draw one. And I’m proud of my drawing.

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 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 loved the bright colors and am inspired by the diversity in other cultures.

This piece is inspired my favorite animal-butterflies. I love to draw and always think of their vivid colors when I draw. I’ve always wished to have a butterfly land on me so this is my dream. “Rainbow Paradise”

My name is Evan, I'm 11. Eyes are interesting to draw, each one is different, even on the same person. I imagined what these eyes have seen while they watched the world and hope I caught something true in them.

My piece was inspired by the place I live; so close to the forest. The technique I used was to not lift my pen off the paper.

I enjoy my art classes; they inspire me to be creative. This snail makes me happy. I love the colors and patterns.

My name is Emerson and I am 8 years old. I love to draw because I love seeing the final product of all the lines that you sketch. I was inspired by an anime character who overcame a difficult challenge and this was how he came out alive. It reminds me that I need to keep going through all obstacles even when tired or beat.

Thank you

I’m Devon and I’m 9 years old. This drawing is about how when we protect even the smallest life, we protect the world. This is a drawing of “Kim the Bee from the top limb of the tree” which is a character from a story my dad made up for my brother and I at bed time. Thank you for reading

This picture was inspired by the endlessness of space. It amazes me how much we’ve explored, yet there is still so much we don’t understand or know about it.

“The Greek God” artwork is a…well an artwork of Eros the Greek god of love, people know him now as Cupid. Plus I am also a fan of Percy Jackson and my love for Greek mythology and Percy Jackson inspired this artwork (I also made this word near Valentine’s Day) I hope my artwork is accepted and appreciated. =)

I love the show and he is my favorite character.

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.

This was a recent class project on fruits that I completed, and I chose my favorites. I started to like red, so I chose apples and a pear with red in the background.

I like dinosaurs

My name is Madissan, and I enjoy expressing myself through art. I created this drawing as a way to practice and improve my shading skills, which is something I’ve been really interested in learning. I wanted to see how I could use light and dark values to make my artwork look more realistic and detailed. This piece was inspired by my desire to challenge myself and grow as an artist. While working on it, I focused on blending and adding depth to bring the drawing to life. Art makes me feel good.

This piece was inspired by a nature walk that I took with my family. I used real sticks, tree bark, and leaves that I found in the woods to show how beautiful the forest is. I also showed a lot of animals because I love seeing them in the woods--except the bear! Looking at my art reminds me how peaceful and quiet I feel in the forest. I want to be a conservationist when I grow up so I can help all kids enjoy nature.

My name is Addison. I was inspired to draw and color a snail rainbow because me feel happy.

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.

I love dinosaurs and I want to learn how to paint all the dinosaurs in the world! The stegosaurus is my mom's favorite dino and pink is my sister's favorite color!

I'm inspired by game art

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

my great grandmother was a watercolor artist and she inspired my love for art. I started painting once she passed away.

I like to draw. I draw in many different styles. I saw a new art style that was popular on YouTube, so I decided to see if I could do it. I feel some sadness when I look at her.

I love magical and whimsical characters. I wanted a character that embodied things I loved about myself and things I loved about magical characters.

As a cancer survivor, I am always trying to make up for my own perceived loss of time during treatment. Often I work like a machine - balancing school, dance, kickline, acrobatics, work, art and time with my friends. Similarly, dance requires perfection. There is no gray. You either nail it or you don’t. This creates tremendous stress which I struggled with for many years. The juxtaposition of the dancer and the machinery represents how I am overwhelmed by my own expectations.

Sonic is my favorite character. He is so fast and I love drawing him.

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.

This is my current DnD character, shes a kitsune and a rogue with the pirate background, and shes inspired by Foxy from Five nights at Freddy's

this is an original character, Greer, a selkie who abandoned the sea in favor of adventure on land.
