Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

My name is Rose, and I was inspired by the contrasts between different colors, textures and shapes. I love to make collages with lots of interesting materials, and this specific one is all about color combinations.

Hi I am Autumn. I like science, Art , math and music. I have fun playing soccer with my friends. I really like gumball because he makes me laugh and wanted to make him out of clay.

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.

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am turning 14 near the end of April. My piece was inspired by myself and my progression over the years. I wanted to capture how I have changed over the last couple of years. Since I normally do not do self portraits, this was a challenge for me. I have always struggled with portraying myself, or anything related to me, so I am incredibly proud. This was a step out of my comfort zone, and I’m proud of what I have created. Thank you!

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.

I like drawing anime and I like this movie.

I’ve been drawing ever since I was little. I did this because I always think everyone needs freedom in life, having dreams and not giving up, following them. I sometimes give my characters this feeling of freedom because the world can be hard, but still beautiful. Drawing for me is a way to express freedom and beauty.

I recently started drawing dragons and really love it. I'm excited to keep trying and getting better and better

I really like bature and wanted to paint something that was nature themed so I decided on a forest with a sunset cause forests are very pretty in the sunset

✨My name is Wishwell and what inspires me is the jungle, it inspires me because one day I will go there. I want to go there so I can see some animals. I also want to see how beautiful it is.✨

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!

When i grow up i want to build robots so i decided to design one that i will build later on. I am also very happy with it and the work i put in to do it.

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. It hurts me to see the earth being damaged. I hope we can come together and save it. "You are never too small to make a difference."- Greta Thunberg.

Hi, My name is Aubrey. I love drawing and my favorite color is red. What inspires me is all the fascinating stuff nature can do and how it makes me feel. I live where there are 4 seasons and I love that I can experience them all.

My name is Kaylee and I love to read, draw and be in nature. I chose to draw this because I get a lot of inspiration for writing books when I read.

I am 9 years old and I made this art as part of a school project to design shoes. My shoe is powered to protect and save from helping launch rockets, to running on water for easy escape - it can do it all. I hope someone can make this design into reality!

This warrior makes me feel confident and safe because he will protect me.

I’ve always loved cheetahs, so i decided this would be a perfect thing to draw and I’m very proud of how it turned out

Hi. My name is Evelyn. I have been making art since I could use my hands. This piece began as a prompt in one of my art classes but ended up being one of my most treasured works. To me, this piece portrays sadness and loneliness. I hope it makes you feel something as well.

I'd like to be an artist when I grow up. My dog inspired my piece. When I have negative thoughts (the monsters in my head), she brings me comfort and strength and helps me believe in myself.

My name is Irene. This drawing was inspired by a photo that was taken of me and my sister when we were little. In this drawing is me and my twin sister playing in the waves. In front are the trunks that we used that we had played with. I chose this drawing because I always admired the ocean’s beauty and calmness. The ocean, when I’m near it, makes me very small and tiny. Whenever I am around the ocean, I feel the waves coming to me and hear nothing but the soft crashing.

My name is Adelyn, in this art piece I made a peaceful nature scene because when I draw, nature is always an inspiration to me! This drawing represents the beauty of nature and my for passion for artistic expression through realism.

I love fantasy and art and I wanted to create a drawing where if you stepped through a puddle you would enter a new world.

Hi, I'm Finn and I like making art. This is my first charcoal drawing. I think sharks are cool and that's why I chose a shark to draw. I also like painting and making sculptures.

I love to draw, especially with watercolours. I love nature and how bright and colourful butterflies are! It makes me feel relaxed and happy because of the beautiful sky and landscapes. The butterfly makes me feel inspired because it makes me think about all the awesome nature on earth!

I love to make different art work. I have dyslexia, and art helps me express myself or my thoughts with no words. I painted this because teachers forget that even though I struggle with my writing, I do know how to express myself. People who are different feel lost in the shadows. My artwork makes me feel happy because I know that in the end I am bright. That is why I draw my star, and my face.

Hi I'm Mariah! Ever since I was little I've always enjoyed arts and crafts. I grew to love drawing when I realized how pretty art can be. Black beauty is what inspired this drawing. My parents always affirm me and teach me to embrace my natural beauty. I hope others look at this drawing and find confidence and self worth in the skin they are in because Black Is Beautiful and all are too!

This piece invites the viewer to imagine the beauty of coming home after a long day at sea. The warm colours of the sunset and the reflection on the water show the feeling of a job well done. I found it challenging to create the small details, especially the people and the boat. I loved painting this. I hope that when people look at this artwork, they feel at peace and that they are loved.

I love foxes and their way of whimsy. I like watercolors the best for a media of art! I thought that a fox in its natural habitat and sleeping would be an adorable and creative piece to enter! Foxes are the best.

I am a young artist just trying to express my creativity. My piece is inspired by a fictional character from a Dungeons and Dragons YouTube Channel and it is one of my favorite recent artworks. I am hoping to turn my artistic abilities into a career—from drawing, animating, writing, singing, playing the double bass, my life is built around art. I love this piece because the process helped me learn so much and continue adapting my style. It’s very aesthetically pleasing to me and I’m proud of it.

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!

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.

While working on painting an ocean wave, I was inspired by the curl at the tip of the wave. It reminded me of a dragons snout, so I continued painting it until my wave became a complete dragon. Looking at this dragon makes me happy because of how much I love reading about dragons and fantasy.

inspired by my friend

I had a reference from Pinterest lol

I have always been inspired by nature and the seasons changing. Fall is my favorite season, and that's what inspired this drawing. I tilted this piece "Reflections," because I believe it is important to look in the mirror and see the beauty that is you. The reflection of the trees in the water shows how pretty they are all over again, and I think we should do that too.

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! 🐱

I really like Ariana and I wanted to draw this for fun.

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!

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.

This piece of art is inspired by a painting I enjoy looking at. I could imagine the fishermen heading out early in the morning hoping to catch a lot of fish and maybe see some whales and the beauty of the ocean. They would return home exhausted but nets filled with fish and their family happy to see them.

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 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.

Hi my name is Everley and this is my self portrait. I painted it because I wanted to create something that inspires other people. Self portraits are special pieces to create and I want people to know how beautiful they are, even if they’re in a place they normally aren’t. My portrait takes place in the mountains, which is one of my favorite places to visit.

My name is Fia, and i like to draw and play with friends and family. One day my mom saw a cool art piece and when i tried it out really liked how calming and fun it was to make. It makes me feel like all my emotions are mixed together in a big ball.

The forest is a very peaceful place, and that is why I wanted to draw it. I was inspired by the way the sun shines through the leaves and the quiet sounds of the birds. Making this art made me feel calm and relaxed. I hope my picture makes people feel like they are taking a nice, quiet walk in the woods.

My dog inspired me to make this drawing. She is very cute and fuzzy but I love her personality best. She is very energetic and sweet. I also love watching her sleep. I made the art piece using pencils. The pencils I used were 2B, 4B and 6B. This was the first time I’ve used different pencil grades. Some of the trials I’ve had with this drawing were getting the shapes right and getting the lines straight. But the biggest struggle I had was getting the lines light enough.

I am an entrepreneur who enjoys developing marketing materials for businesses. I like to practice making logos, brochures, flyers, and business cards. This is my favorite logo I have created because it is simple but unique. It's an art piece that catches people's attention and makes them want to learn more about the business.

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 really love to paint sunsets so when I heard about this contest I knew I had to make a huge one! This painting shows a flock of birds flying south over a forest at sunset. When I look at this painting I can't help but wonder, are the birds flying towards something or are they flying away?

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.

My artwork is called “Out in the Danger.” It shows a girl and her dragon standing in front of a volcano that is erupting. They are best friends and they are being brave together even though it’s scary. I love drawing chibi girls and dragons because dragons are my favorite. I think dragons are strong and magical, and I like imagining them as loyal friends. This drawing makes me feel strong and brave. It reminds me that I can face my fears every day and not feel alone.

My name is Sophia, my art piece is a collage made with construction paper, scissors and glue. It is a picture of my cat Camella Belly sleeping on my bed, with a big Venus fly trap plant and the full moon in the window. Today is the full moon, and Camella Belly was taking a nap on my bed. She looked so cute! This picture makes me feel happy.

I love making art because I love drawing things I love and using cool colors. It makes me feel cool to be an artist.

My name is Tristen. I love drawing animals and vehicles. In this drawing I used a lot of green, my favorite color, to make a father and son chameleon.

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 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 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.

Hi, I’m Madelyn. I love to do art and I made this piece because apples are gorgeous and I think it would be nice to go outside on a beautiful afternoon and pick an apple. If you study it, you can see that apples do amazing things for the world.

As a stargazer, seeing a night sky filled with different kinds of wonders always amazes me. This inspired me to combine many different night-sky objects together. It makes me feel peaceful and fulfilled. I think anyone who sees this in real life will be breathtaken and amazed to the eye!

I made it because I’m next to the beach and the smell of the ocean and the breeze are the stuff I like.👍

I love digital art. I am getting more into semi-realism. I was inspired to draw this because I think it’s cool that women can be feminine but also strong.

Each bubble shows a different part of who I am. The flute shows my focused, connected side - the part of me that loves being in harmony with others. The drums show my wild, energetic side - the part of me that loves the thrill of a big performance. And the guitar shows my private, peaceful side - the part of me that just enjoys being in my own world.

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.

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

I really like drawing and listening to music, so I wanted to make a picture that shows both at the same time. I got the idea because sometimes when I’m outside, the wind and the trees sound like a song, and it makes me feel calm and happy. It’s like nature is making its own music. I also see butterflies and birds in my backyard and all the flowers blooming. I hope when people see it, they feel calm too and maybe think about the sounds around them in a new way.

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.

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.

My name is Evie, and I am 11 years old. I love black cats and spooky stuff. I drew this piece in Procreate.

My name is Charli and I like to draw. I love the Lion King and baby Simba is so cute. I also love to sing. This drawing makes me feel happy because this movie holds a special place in my heart.

This beautiful Scarlet Macaw is listening to the sound of nature and wondering if she should stay or fly away into the canopy of the Amazon. I am inspired by nature. I am 13 years old. Art brings me peace, so when I draw the nature around me, I feel we are one.

This piece was inspired by magic, ever since I was a kid I have always loved the idea of magic so I designed this piece to show the character using the magic of light as she is conjuring up a spell

Hello i am beth! And ever since i was little ive loved dragons! And ive put that love into this piece of art!

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 was inspired that spring was coming! Spring makes me feel happy after a long winter. This is the feeling in my painting.

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

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.

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. This piece makes was a slight depression vibe because of the final moments of reflection of Icarus’s life, and I wonder if he thought he had a good life and if he did okay and what awaits him next, but our eyes will simply never live to tell the tale.

I love to draw and I love animals. Whenever I have free time, I love to be creative. I’m learning so much in my art classes on Outschool and challenging myself with new skills as much as possible.

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!

My piece makes me feel happy because of fireworks like on her dress and fountains and music

I love Wings of Fire and wanted to create an original character based on the books to use in my own story. Magnolia is a dragon who got her leg cut off in the war and has to juggle both school and running her kingdom. She also has a pet lemur, named Sage, and sisters she has to care for since her parents died. Magnolia is strong and fierce and perseveres through hard challenges and also asks for help when she needs it and I want to be like her (minus the losing limbs and parents bit :) ).

my name is Elisha and I like science. I was inspired by my love of science and it makes me feel happy and proud of what I've done

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

This piece was a project that I was assigned to, however this inspired me because of my fascination with thee universe. Creating this Milky Way makes me feel amazed with myself and full of wonder. I was really happy with the colors, textures, and light, this created a senses of depth and mystery.

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.

It’s a butterfly mask. The feathers help it fly and the jewels and patterns make it pretty.

Hello my name is Benny O., and the inspiration for my art is my sister, Charlotte O., who is also submitted. Bye!

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!

I was inspired by my interest in coral reefs. I love drawing different types of coral and then adding in other creatures. My piece makes me feel in awe of the coral reef habitat.

I love animation and wanted to create art that reflects something magical.

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.

I have spent the year working on watercolor technique, so I wanted to do a piece where watercolor is at home. What better than a peaceful ocean scene? I hope I’ve captured the fluid and unhurried movement of these graceful creatures.

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.

I love how I can express myself through art and how every artist has their own unique style. My favorite art styles are realistic and anime, and I also like inking and working with color. My piece was inspired by the feeling when you see something beautiful, and how it takes your breath away. I wanted it to look like the golden glow of the star was reflected in her face. The piece reminds me of the feeling of awe.

Hi, I'm Kefira! This piece was inspired by my beloved bunny, Miss Baby Bunson (but we just call her Bunson). She passed away recently and I wanted to take this wonderful chance to honor her (rest in peace, Bun-Bun). She was a very sweet, lovable bunny and I feel that this artwork really captures her adorably curious self. I will cherish this piece forever and hang it in my room as soon as I get a frame!

I'm Makinley. I've been drawing since I was 5 years old. I absolutely love drawing different things and animals. This fish makes me feel free and happy.

I am inspired by the ocean waves and the moonlight.

It would be cool to be a tree kangaroo.
