Hello. My name is Kambry. I was inspired to paint this piece when it was cold outside. The thought of spring coming brought the rainbow bunny to life. The rainbow bunny makes me feel happy because I like it and I am proud of the art I made.

I painted this picture after taking watercolor classes from my teach Caitlin on Outschool. I painted over it and then added some salt which dried on the painting.

I looked at a picture book of different styles of art and wanted to draw something like it, I didn't use the book but loved how different pictures looked. I sat down in my Grandma's kitchen and started drawing. I love my picture because I found I love drawing like this and it makes me happy.

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.

This is a fiber arts piece I made using fabric I inherited from my Great Grandmother after she passed away. I am inspired by my Great Grandmother's legacy as an artist to create works, try new things, and make mistakes. I chose to make a sunrise since it symbolizes new beginnings and the ability to try again. The sunrise reminds me that even if I mess up, there will be another day, another chance to improve, practice, and make something beautiful!

The reason I made this piece is my love for Pokemon and I wanted a challenge.

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.

I am 6 and I like photography. The Foster Woods is my favorite place and it inspires me. This sunset at the Foster Woods makes happy. It was just before dark and the light on the barn was on.

My name is Bella. And what inspired my art is a painting I did when I took a break from my drawing. I blended a bunch of colors together and that was my idea for the background . Then I painted a HUMMING BIRD because they are my second favorite birds . My art makes me feel calm because the flowers and the backGround colors are beautiful to me. I hope you judges like it too!

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

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Jackson and I love everything jets. The F-35A inspired me to draw this because it is my favorite jet and I think it's absolutely beautiful. When I saw the F-35A at an airshow. I was so excited that I almost started crying. I love the F-35A so much because it's just beautiful from all angles no matter what.

This painting represents my memories of summer holidays spent in Poland at my grandma’s countryside home. Every summer I would visit her, and the landscape around the village was full of golden fields and large round hay bales after the harvest. I remember the warm sun, the smell of fresh grass and straw, and the peaceful feeling of being surrounded by nature, which contrasted so much with what I am used to living in New York City.

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'm Dan from Massachusetts and I made this piece to show what my environment for creativity looks like. I sit at my desk and look outside from my window and think of things to make(painting, drawing, or digital artwork like this). I thought this would be the perfect way to show what creativity can look like.

My name is Leni Gless. I am 11 years and am a 6th grader in Chapel Hill, NC. I love to write stories and draw scenes from my stories to make it come to life. The stories I am currently writing, “Knights of the Impossible”, inspired this drawing. It shows the two main characters from my book, Ariana and her dragon Juco, in their kingdom. The cherry trees around the castle are what make the kingdom special. It makes me feel excited to continue writing my story and draw more scenes.

I like cats and drawing! Cardamom and Putchie are my cats, and they are really cute. They make me feel very happy and I like them a lot.

I love Minecraft and Minecraft Scary Stories, so what inspired me to create this was the Minecraft Scary Story Error 422.

This is an art piece that represents my calm and love for water.

My name is Sylvie, I am a digital/traditional artist that is learning about realism and showing my art to the world. I wanted to make this piece because I think to sum up your life and passion, you could just stack all the activites in the world between two buns and take out the different ingredients (passions) to find the perfect sandwich to eat for the rest of your life. This art piece makes me feel like even if you feel like you don't have a passion, there will always be one out there to try.

Hi! I am Rafael and my piece is a mix of all things I love. It's a fantasy world called Owlia, the creature with the big nose is a dragon I created called Pigspikoop, I drew myself on top of a hill with my dog Yogi, an owl (my favorite animal) perched on my shoulder and a creature called Flybei. I'm from Colombia and the bird I drew at the right bottom corner is a type of bird there. I love history and aviation so I drew a castle and planes flying in the background, one on a runway platform.

This is my dog Mia. I love her.

I love nature and wanted to inspire other people to love nature too because I also love being outdoors. I wanted to do art about it.

My name is Caroline. My artwork is inspired by NASA’s female astronauts who have helped expand human exploration of space. Their courage inspire me to dream about the future, to become an astronaut and explore outer space, to help humanity better understand the universe. The red and white koi (fish flowing around the astronaut’s helmet ) are known for swimming upstream, representing humanity’s determination to overcome challenges and push beyond limits even when faced with uncertainty.

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

this art work makes me feel sad for the bird🐦‍⬛ on the left, let me explain. the bird on the left is using a jet pack, not its wings it is sad because now it has no perpous for its wings. while the bird on the right is using its wings soring freely and not a jet pack. the bird on left is using a jet pack because engineers went to far and now it can't fly without a jet pack the end.

My name is Raya. I really enjoy fashion design, and I got inspired for this piece at a beach. I always loved how the waves roll and overlap. The ocean truly is a work of art. I hope that you like my art! Please vote🫶🫶

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 am Amina, and I love sketching on my pad, and coloring on procreate. My inspiration for the piece was actually a homework assignment! I was asked to do a drawing of my own deity, god or goddess to present, and here it is! This girl you see here is Equality, the deity of balance. She is the one who keeps things equal between humans, plants and animals. This piece makes me feel proud.

My name is Maya I love dogs so much. I have two dogs Bella and Spikie. I am Polish. I've been in a dog drawing class for about 2 years . I drew this dog realistic because I really like the realistic style. I like realistic style because its really hard to draw straight lines and do the shading in the correct places.The realistic drawings turn out to be very impressive.It makes me feel proud and curious.

This drawing was inspired by people who kept going even when it was hard

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.

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!

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

This piece was for a class assignment shooting in black & white. I LOVE vibrant colors, so this project was challenging for me. I’m usually drawn to the smaller details in nature that often get overlooked. I had to take this photo at least 10-15 times to work out the best shot. I had to choose birdseye view vs eye-level. I also took pictures from several different positions. When I downloaded all the photos I took, this one just jumped out at me. I am SO proud of this shot!

For me to do my best, I need to be in the flow state which requires solitude and a sense of calm. My inspiration comes from the idea of having my own space above the world, where I can feel safe and secure. The airship is a place where I can recharge, think and just exist without pressure. From up there, the world seems more manageable, and I can see things more clearly. This sense of quiet and comfort inspires me and shapes my work.

This was my first render

This is a drawing about drawing, because drawing is what inspires me!

Hi, I'm Mavi! I'm 12 years old, and my favorite medium is graphite, which I did my piece in. This piece was inspired by a quiet sunset I watched with my cat. Sunsets are beautiful where I live, and watching them makes me feel calm and peaceful. Thanks for looking!

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.

Hi, my name is Kinsey. I like watercolor because I can express myself. What inspired my painting was I wanted to do something tropical and with flowers. This painting makes me feel happy and like I am walking through a rainforest. Someday I would like to hike through a rainforest.

Hi! I made a silly, sweet dog who rules his cozy home like a king. I love animals, so I gave him big eyes and floppy ears and built him a happy little world with books, plants, and a comfy bed. It makes me feel warm, playful, and proud—like I’m right there hanging out with him!

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 love fantasy, art, and reading. Dragons inspire me because they've been in mythical stories since humans have been around and they just keep getting better! Art is something I've always loved, and it feels so good to show other people. Reading is my escape from life. I can go anywhere! Thank you for giving me this wonderful chance to share my art.

My name is Lauren. I love making art. I am a caring person and love to make new friends. My piece is inspired by my love of reptiles and dragons. It makes me feel proud of my artwork. Shout out to my art teacher Abeera for helping me make beautiful masterpieces.

I love making costumes and characters, and then drawing them into different outfits and places

Dave is a character I created because I challenged myself to create a character with a twist. I like dragons so that is why I chose one. I’m proud of this drawing because it turned out well and makes me laugh.

I competitively figure skate. I am at the ice rink almost everyday for about 2 hours. People tend to underestimate figure skating, saying it's petty or materialistic. Or they're impressed, only seeing the stage and the dresses, not the work it took to get there. Hard work, perseverance, and effort all go into it. The friends, coaches, and supportive parents all play a role making even daily practice wonderful. There's always something about stepping out onto the ice that always feels magical.

My family took an RV trip around the US and we saw this pretty waterfall. I was taking a landscape drawing class and was excited to incorporate what I was seeing and what I was learning.

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.

Music has something to offer nearly everyone! If you like writing, you can write music. If you like an instrument, you can play it. If you like singing, you can sing. If you like art, you can make album covers. If you like organizing, you can be a manager. There’s so much opportunity! Throughout history, people have used music to spread messages of inspiration, and I hope that this piece inspires you! Music has inspired me so much as an avid singer, and I just love listening to it so much!

I wanted to test my skills and see if i could draw one of my favorite characters. I was very happy to see how it turned out.

Inspired by the idea of nice weather approaching

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 am inspired by the ocean waves and the moonlight.

I love drawing, especially animals because I'm also an animal lover. Our main thing was a snail in art class, and I made him a suit. My favorite animal is a fox so I drew one. I made the fox's cheeks and the fox and snail were looking at each other and so I made a heart to show they were in love. This picture makes me feel happy, proud, and love.

My name is Eva, I enjoy learning languages and travel. The three matryoshka dolls refer to my sisters who inspired me to be a great, big sister.

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.

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

My name is Bronwyn and I am an aspiring concept artist. This art piece was inspired by J.C. Leyendecker’s work and other illustrative artists.

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.

I wanna give the money to the homeless kids that have no money

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 artwork is called “Circle of Leaves.” I painted it on a real plate and divided the circle into eight sections. Three sections represent the seasons that have leaves: spring, summer, and fall. The other five sections show leaves in different colors such as purple, orange, yellow, red, and green. I used contrasting colors in the background to make the leaves stand out. Leaves are beautiful and colorful, and they make me feel calm and happy.

My name is David and I was inpires to make this piece because I saw many great artist do things like this so I decided to make one of my own.

Hi. My name is Alexis and I love riding horses. I've been taking lessons since I was 9 years old and I ride all year round. I participate in horse shows and competitions. Horses are so majestic and beautiful. I feel free when I am riding them. I also love brushing them. I especially love all of their unique personalities. This is a picture of one of the horses I enjoy riding and his name is River.

My name is Misha I am from Tampa Florida. I was inspired by my cat, Hunter, and my dad who is a musician. I am also a musician who is learning to play the piano and the guitar. The reason I picked a cat is because I love cats so much, and I picked a piano because I am learning the piano. I made a digital art using Procreate which I have learned thanks to Outschool and Ms. Uli. I used different gradients and some special brushes to create a lovable character Rock Star Kitty.

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.

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 am a dancer, and I am on pointe :) I love dancing and art, I have been doing art for several years now :) this piece was inspired by my love of dance and gesture drawings :)

I am inspired by walks through state forests, seeings birds resting on riverbanks or flying overhead, the Great Blue Heron is a marvelous sight to see.

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.

I think the biggest challenge I faced was that it was my first art class ever, and we had to squeeze a bunch of lessons in a couple weeks. The butterfly I drew inspired me because it makes you think about the beauty of nature and all the things that God created. They remind us to care for the little things, and be content with what you have. The butterfly is also pretty to look at. :D you wouldn’t mind voting, would you now >:)

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Bay and ever since I was little, I've loved drawing my favorite characters and making up my own, giving them past and motivation. I've also always loved role-playing (and later, DND). I could take a break from the real world and go on an epic quest. Then I got Minecraft. The fact that you could create your own world and style of playing was so inspiring. So I took those three interests and challenged myself to draw my Minecraft character, and I was happily surprised by the result!!

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, I'm Ivy and, yeah, I drew Sanji from an anime called One Piece. A few years ago, I was watching One Piece for the first time and immediately I was drawn to Sanji. I wasn't sure at the time why, but now I can say with confidence that he has a kind, caring personality that I idolize and look up to. While I may not make it to the final few or is as talented as others, I will always continue drawing and draw Sanji because he makes me feel like I can be somebody.

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.

Hi! I am James, and I like to express myself through art. I drew this specific piece a few years back for a project at my school. It is supposed to be an artistic self-representation, filled with patterns and objects that I like or that are important to me. Once the outline was completed, I separated the head into sections (some are special shapes). Then I slowly and carefully filled the entire large page with my artwork, using a pen to draw over it all again a second time! I'm proud of my work.

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

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.

Sometimes as humans, we forget the true meaning of life. Sometimes we can get addicted to our phones, our iPads, anything that is technology related and we can sometimes forget how beautiful nature really is. Sometimes when I’m stressed I take my dog out for a walk. When it’s nice out everything is so peaceful, you can forget everything that is bothering you in your life. Nature has inspired me to draw this picture because it brings me the most peace and happiness when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

This piece is inspired by authenticity and friendship. During the time I made this piece, I met some really amazing and accepting people who I felt happy and safe around. They gave me the courage to be myself, which is something I really needed at the time. The characters featured in this piece are of my own design. They represent the kinship I found with my new friends, and the individuality that I learned to express for myself!

Good day to you. My name is Adaire Renee and I've alway been fascinated with painting and literature. This painting is inspired by the book, "Bridge of Clay" written by Markus Zusak. Hence the name of the painting. The book is strongly recommended though there is some crude language. I hope you like them both.

this painting is using acrylic, It is my best painting featuring a man following a light with faith, I love this painting for all of the different meaning to it, i don't paint often but when I do I like it as a side project, I also play soccer, piano and I love singing!!

A nice person who loves to draw Anime and other cartoon characters. She said her inspiration came from seeing the shading and the detail of creating the piece. She said the drawing made her happy. We live in Washington, DC, not Washington state.

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

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.

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 name is Sofia and I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I've learned lots of different drawing techniques through Outschool. I decided to make this piece because I really like the anime art style. It makes me feel happy!
