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 am a passionate young artist who loves animation and traditional art. My piece was inspired by my daily life. At the center are my adorable pugs, Mochi and Morita, my biggest inspiration. The floating icons represent my artistic world—making videos, drawing, and animating. Looking at this drawing makes me feel proud and peaceful. It reminds me that art is my safe space. Creating this makes me feel incredibly free and joyful because it shows the world exactly who I am inside.

I have enjoyed drawing, especially Anime, for many years. I have been working on transitioning my sketches to digital art. I like this character because of the crossover between human and kitty, and the overall happy vibe.

Hello, I'm Grace! This piece is inspired by (and is of) Splatoon, a game by Nintendo. The character pictured has fought their way up through an underground base, seeing the outside world for the first time after losing their memory from being in said base.

This piece of art was inspired by classic ancient Chinese art. I developed a passion for watercolor when I was 11, instantly falling in love with the way you can play with imperfections, mix colors, and create movement on the page. When I look at this painting, I imagine the smooth way the koi move through the water. It makes me feel peaceful and wonder what it might feel like to be a koi—so calm and carefree.

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.

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.

I have a lot of inspirations for this piece, but the main ones are otters and axolotls, who I based the two alien creatures on. The red sky with two suns is a nod to some real-life solar systems that have two stars in them.

I love to be creative. I love to draw. If I could draw and watercolor I would! its my life :) I enjoy my weekly Watercolor class.

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 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.

Drawing is my favorite thing to do. It is relaxing. I wanted this picture to be perfect so I did a lot of drafts before I got it right. My favorite part of this picture is the sky. I used different layers of color.

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 Vivian! This is a Starry Night inspired painting that I made using palette knives. You might not be able to see in the picture, but the texture is spiked. This painting, and the original, make me feel calm. When painting this I felt a sense of awe for how difficult it would've been for Van Gogh to capture the beautiful scene.

My name is Naree and I am 9 years old. This art piece makes me feel proud of myself for making this. The thing that inspired this piece was my mind. The idea just simply popped into my mind; a mermaid drifting through the sea with fish, holding a bubble.

I am homeschooler who loves art and dogs. I started drawing with how to draw books, then added some Outschool art classes to refine my skills. I love drawing pictures of animals but my current focus is dogs. My favorite parts to focus on are the eyes and the snouts. If I can get the eyes right, it gives the portrait the complete personality and really brings life to the dogs on paper.

I am Aadvik from Mrs.Roxy class. I love to draw Anime characters. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of my favorite shows. I like Yuji because he is strong and cool :D

My sister said that it was cool so yeah.

I crochet the tree leaves with yarn and used clay for the tree and painted it with colors that give a magical feeling. I used hot glue to attach things and make vines around the tree. I used gems and minerals also for the same reason and they come from the earth. Nature inspires me and trees support all life on planet Earth. I am inspired to take care of plants and make sure life is balanced. The art makes me feel happy because of the magical feeling.

My name is Mariko, and I love to draw, both physical and digital. I also love music, and I was inspired by this Kpop idol, Wonyoung. She's part of the group, IVE, and seeing her unbelievable talent of singing and dancing makes me feel happy. I just wanted to share my love for music and drawing through this piece.

The movie Stitch inspired my piece putting my own spin on the creature wreaking havoc theme. Looking at what I created I feel proud.

Hello! My name is Jayson and I’m fascinated my tragedy and comedy masks and jesters (both of which were my inspiration). A jester, something thought of to be joyful, using a mask used to display a set emotion on a stage with no crowd. The mask being used to hide something that the circus does not want the audience to know. Being controlled by string, unable to do anything with his own will using the mask to hide it all. Sometimes our life’s are like that, we try to hide how we really feel.

This artwork was created by Angeliki with the guidance of her art teacher, Ms. Z, when she was 9 years old. She loves water and exploring nature. This picture makes her feel happy and also gives her a sense of tranquility. She likes it a lot because she hopes to be in a real situation like this one day.

I've liked drawing for as long as I can remember. My favorite drawing style is with pencils, and I love drawing animals. I really like this drawing; I think it turned out to be a really cute dragon.

The first thing I notice when I look at something is its color. I’ve been doing art for about a year. I mostly draw people but also enjoy drawing realistic things from a reference. I taught myself how to use Procreate by watching other artists online. I always listen to music when I draw. While I was drawing this, I was listening to “The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel. The candle makes me feel satisfied at how the light and color blend together to create a realistic image.

This piece symbolises the coming of spring as the snow melts, the sun comes out, and the flowers bloom. The feeling of the fresh cool breeze, and the sun on your face. It depicts a self-portrait holding my favorite flower. Even when the dark seems to last forever, the sun will come.

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.

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

My art was inspired by my class.

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.

I like to write stories and draw pictures for them. This piece was inspired by one of my books and is a bad guy in my book series. His name is Bad Guy and he's the main villain in my books. It is a poster for the book. I used procreate to make this drawing.

I drew an astronaut because astronauts really inspire me. They get to go to space and see things that most people will never get to see, like planets, stars, and the Earth from really far away. I think that is amazing. It must take a lot of bravery and hard work to become an astronaut, and that makes me admire them even more. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be an astronaut in the future. It would be really cool to float in zero gravity and travel on a spaceship.

My picture is an African sunset with watercolor sky and acrylic and colored pencil for grass. Shoebills are my favorite bird and I just wanted to draw them.

I was inspired to draw this because my dad told me everything is art and art is everywhere

My favorite animal is a dolphin. I was inspired by the Artemis II launch that I watched. My picture makes me feel like anything is possible when dolphins fly!

Hello, I like doing art with no thought behind it. The piece was based on a pretty reference I found(I liked the hair) and I just wanted to draw it via scribbles. I have no idea how she turned into paper. It was not the intent, as there was no intent. I also don't know where the polynomials came from. They just appeared. I was having fun hatching and that's all there is to it :D

Throughout the process of creating this piece, I always envisioned this flower as a symbol of my island’s beautiful landscape and scenery. The vivid colors of “El Ave del Paraíso al Mediodía” reflect Puerto Rico’s rich history of resilience and zest for life. Its abundance across the island reminds me of my ancestors and all they had to endure.

I grew up watching Studio Ghibli's movies and Spirited Away is my favorite. This is a joyful moment when Chihiro and Haku find each other after a long journey and it's my favorite scene.

My name is Felicity, I live in England and I am 12 years old. I drew this because octopus are fun to draw and I wanted him to be drawing because I like to draw. I feel happy for him because he is like my child and he hasn't given up on his dreams :D

I am Emily, the creator of this piece. This is a redesign of my original character Kentor Chehiri. I wanted to make this design more unique and him then the previous one was. This piece makes me feel proud of how far I improved in art and character design.

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.

I drew this because I love snakes and all the tiny details about them, their scales and eyes as they can be like human eyes or slits like cats and I have been practicing drawing hands for a bit and I am extremely happy with this peice and I hope that it means something.

Hello, and my name is Shrika. When I read the theme, “Something that inspires me”, I immediately thought of my recent trip to Spain.The Royal Palace of Madrid, where I saw regal paintings at every corner, felt refreshing to finally see a beautiful, authentic piece of art in these times. Times of Artificial Intelligence everywhere, rotting our minds. This is my “Cure”, finding hope in the past when the future doesn’t seem so bright. Please enjoy this work of Apollo shining his light upon all.

I’ve always loved creating art. “Wolfychu Fanart” is a piece inspired by a story time animator on YouTube named Wolfychu, I’ve enjoyed her content for years and wanted to make something to express how much I appreciate her work. “Aurelia’s Rage” is a piece inspired by my story, which I’ve been writing for the past 6 years. It was also a way to experiment with monochrome colors, and see what my art would look like if i didn’t stress over it looking perfect, and just drew what I wanted.✨

I have been using watercolor paints since the fall. What inspired me was that I love drawing and painting eyes. I had recently read a book about a cat, so I mixed the two together and came up with a cat eye painting. This piece makes me feel curious.

I wanted to make realistic eyes that pop and feel glossy.

Hello 👋 I am Finlay and I LOVE drawing dragons! This piece was inspired by my favourite book series 'Wings Of Fire' and it's this dragon's final moments of peace before venturing out to battle at dawn, wondering if it will be his last. It makes me realize how far I have come with my art and dragon drawings.

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.

My name is Lauren and I had a really fun time creating this illustration. I was inspired by one of my favorite artists: Zhang.bread_art and how they draw really detailed landscapes and traditional Chinese buildings. For this drawing I decided to draw a dragon from the traditional Chinese dragon dances flying above a city in China (no particular city). In addition, I purposely used bright colors to make the piece give off an energetic vibe as if the dragon had actually come to life.

Before I started HIP HOP I was shy and not always willing to try new things. But now that I am doing HIP HOP, I am confident and more brave. Hip Hop makes you flow lets you know you can do it Hip Hop is a vibe you can't hide it's inside you Just give it a try! Try it,Try it, Try it -Come On! (written to the beat of "I Can Make Ya" by Fingazz)

Anime has really inspired me, and it always makes me happy seeing other people art and styles. I go on Pinterest to see people's wonderful art or read manga to get inspired but something has really been bugging me this past week. I've been feeling kind of bored with my art, so I started a new anime, Jojo's bizarre adventure to be exact! I really feel in love with the art style, so I decided to draw my favorite character. This piece took around 20 hours over the span of a week.

I like to draw almost every day. I enjoy girl characters that do awesome things. It makes me feel happy. I was inspired to draw this when I watched Super Mario Bros the movie because Princess Peach is my favorite.

Hi, I am Alyssa. I was inspired to draw this piece because I love dogs and plan to volunteer at a shelter in the future. I heard that black dogs tend to stay in shelters longer because they are less likely to be adopted. I hope this drawing inspires others to volunteer at a dog shelter or adopt a dog.

My name is Sophie and my picture is from an assignment inspired by a Beatitudes Tree. The colors makes me feel happy!

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.

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.

Hi there! I'm Berlin, but my friends all call me Sebastian. I made this art because I am heavily inspired by The Amazing Digital Circus, especially when it comes to creativity.

My name is Lani. I did this piece for Chinese homework, and this artwork made me feel calm.

I am an avid writer and artist with a passion specifically for animals. This piece was inspired by a book I want to write following the first two leaders of a wolf pack called the Rose Kingdom. Over the course of this drawing I grew even more attached to these two characters and even spent hours meticulously fussing over details just so I could do them justice. Now that the piece is finished, I look at it as one of the best pieces I've ever created and the characters as some of my favorites.

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

I really like Spider-Man and skyscrapers. I used watercolor and pencil to make my picture. My picture makes me feel very happy.

I learned how to draw this white charcoal piece, from my art teacher, Miss Lisa. When I was done, I didn't even recognize it was mine! I like cats. I also like to sing, read, draw, and write. I hope you like my piece! Signed, Alena.

My art is of my cat Maui who enjoys laying at the window to look at this stars with me! Maui makes me feel relaxed and loved when we are together! I am so glad he adopted us for his forever family.

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.

I’m 9 years old. I love drawing, swimming and being with my brother. I love art because I can express myself and my ideas flow to the paper! I am inspired by my thoughts, activities and favorites! I love drawing with my Outschool art teacher, Sandra Goodwin!

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.

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.

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 thought about things that inspire me, one thing stood out- memories! I have many inspiring memories, but the most vivid and meaningful are of small moments. This piece is based on one such memory: of holding my dad’s index finger when my hands were too tiny to hold his hand properly. It makes me feel nostalgic, inspired, and maybe a little wistful. It reminds me to appreciate small things while they’re here, and to cherish the love that made me who I am now, even as memories fade with time

This is what happened when I found a passion for Amigurumi! I started crocheting six months ago after my friends on Outschool introduced it to me! I just love making my stuffies and giving them to people! This craft has really made me happy and I love it.

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

My bird class inspired my drawing. It makes me feel good. I love birds!

I have always loved art and I find it an easy and enjoyable way to express myself. I like to do portraits in lot of different mediums. I was inspired for this particular piece by how being surrounded by nature can make you feel comfort and inspiration.

I love the original and retro style animations. I wanted to create my favourite character in that style.

My name is Alex and I love drawing, working with clay and leatherwork. The reason why I drew this piece is because I wanted to challenge myself by drawing the ocean and a submarine.

This piece makes me feel proud of my work and my progress.

This piece is inspired by my two characters, Cecil and Penelope who are dancing to one of the greatest pleasures in life, Music. Penelope is the goddess of the Sum and Justice. Cecil is the god of Wonderment

Art is my life

I was inspired by all of the media coverage on dyes and chemicals in our food. It’s a serious topic but I decided to present a message about how I don’t like all of the added unnecessary chemicals by use of satire.

My name is Charlee. This art makes me feel good because I love cats and drawing humans. I’m inspired by other people in my class drawing beautiful artwork.

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.
