My name is Alex.

My names Tallulah. I am a 13 year old artist. This art is a year or two old, but it definitely is my favorite piece of mine. Photorealism and hyperrealism have always been my favorite art styles. I always admire artists that can draw realistically, so the fact I was able to draw something as realistic as this always cheers me up:]

This piece inspires me to go hiking and climbing big boulders and mountains while observing wildlife. I am super energetic with lots of enthusiasm, and I like to do rolls while dodging all of the trees and playing tag with my younger brother as we go on our weekly hikes.

My name is Ruth! I love drawing cats, birds, and flowers. One of my most recent classes with Miss Michelle Yother inspired this piece. This watercolor painting makes me feel peaceful and happy.

I started not knowing what to draw and the shape turned into a ghost shape. The ghost is crying while a Ghostbusters vacuum is trying to suck it up. It's a sad picture but I had fun deciding what to make it. I love ghosty and hope the Ghostbusters don't get him.

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 enjoy exploring the outdoors, climbing trees, writing stories and drawing mystical pictures. I got my inspiration from a chapter in one of my stories I have written. Where the mother dragon leaves her babies in the protection of the tree of life. When she needs to go defend her territory. When I look at my picture I am proud of myself for bring my imagination to life and being able to hold it in my hands.

This picture makes me feel happy. I was thinking of painting like I was in the sky looking down.

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

The main inspiration behind this was mother nature. I made this in my art class with paper, markers and a little imagination. This art piece is like nature. Her beauty is like a mushroom, she is bound to die, but she will always survive in the darkest of times. Nature is all around us. It's stunning and is like no other. I hope you will look at a mushroom and see how amazing, delightful and misunderstood it is! And remember, even in the darkest night, you can find the light.

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?

Seeing a astonishing blue morpho butterfly inspired me, it makes me feel confident because with all the struggles we face, we can always spread our wings and fly.

Hi my name is Cristina! This piece was inspired by one of the protagonists in my favorite novel series, The Powerless trilogies' Kai Azer. In the story his childhood is full of battles. The battles of his own fears and the battles of protecting the people he loves. As a Bear protects it's family and it's forests, this is the perfect animal to present Kai (his bouncy brown curls and a Bears brown fur match as well). This drawing came out much better than expected! I am very proud of my creation.

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.

This piece represents my growth as an artist. A long time ago, if you asked me to draw something realistic, I would have said no. Now I challenge myself and embrace new styles.

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

I have always loved art because I can be as creative as I want, so long as I don't care how it looks. I've always liked how the moon looks, and it inspired this piece. I decided I would go for a dark tone to highlight the moon. This is a magical forest scene, looking out from deep within. There are two hidden runes and lots of other mysteries if you look closely. I'll leave those for you to find. This piece makes me feel creative and like there's lots more to discover.

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!

Hi, I'm Artemis, and I enjoy making art! I'm a bit of what some people would call a "weird kid", and I'm actually proud of that, because I'm "weird" because I make dragon puppets! I also animate and make short comics. The inspiration for this piece was the crunching that the leaves made when I walked, and the beauty of nature. I'm really proud of this piece, because it's the first time I've used this artstyle with still life. It's like the art is telling me to go on a walk in the forest!

From a young age, I've been inspired by space through drawing and building with LEGOs. It sparked my curiosity and imagination about what exists beyond our world. Space makes me feel excited and full of wonder, pushing me to dream big. I hope to become a mechanical engineer and work with NASA one day. This piece reflects my passion, creativity, and belief that I can turn my dreams into reality.

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 was inspired by the calm beauty of the ocean and the gentle way sea turtles move through the water. I wanted to show a peaceful moment under the sea. Drawing this helped me express how relaxing the ocean feels to me.

My name is Joslyn I've always loved art and trying different art forms or drawing styles, I also really love indie horror games like Mucorales or Pumpkin panic. I wanted to give my piece a more eerie or melancholic vibe which is why I used darker colors for it. I was inspired by how unicorns were originally depicted in stuff like The last unicorn and how the unicorns look slimmer, and just look more majestic when their less bulky and horse-like. I'm very proud of my piece and i hope you like it.

I am an artist of both the martial and drawing kind. I especially love to draw animals, because they are both cute and fierce, like me! My inspiration flows like water. On my phoenix, I like how the tail looks like flowing water. It makes me feel very peaceful and calm when I look at it. It also looks fearless, which is why I named it "The Fearless Phoenix".

I painted this because i wanted people to be curious about the story behind it.

Inspired by the idea of nice weather approaching

Smile on the Inside is a piece of artwork that tells you no matter how sad things could be, you should smile because we’re always somehow smiling. I created Smile on the Inside because I love to draw, sketch more specifically, skeletons. I just learned how to draw a human so I decided to put the two together. I then realized the true meaning behind my piece of art. Stay positive no matter how bad things can get, smile through it and look on the bright side.

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

“I enjoy drawing anime because it inspires my imagination. I like creating characters with strong expressions and unique designs. Anime shows like Naruto inspire me to practice drawing and improve my skills. When I draw, I feel creative and excited because I can bring my ideas to life through art.”

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.

Art can be so different and have so many meanings, but this piece inspires me because it shows that even the smallest, quiet things have strength and resilience. It reminds me that I am strong even when I’m quiet. By facing obstacles with heart and hard work, I’ll find my way through the overwhelming moments. Above all, it shows I can grow with quiet strength and steady hope, as long as I keep trying and have the confidence to do so.

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.

I like drawing and using lots of colors. I made this picture by imagining I am standing in the middle of a city and looking up at tall buildings all around me.

This picture makes me feel happy and excited like I am in a big city.

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

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

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.

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

While drawing, I was feeling I was in the meadow in this art and I am realized I am the future artist.

Hi, my name is Jemma and I have been passionate art since a very young age. I feel specifically drawn to realism because it helps me express the exact emotions of a moment when I draw. I feel inspired by seeing famous places and imagining how much my art might grow, and how one day people might recognize my art and it could become great. Seeing places like NYC makes me think about how many other unknown artists out there dreaming of becoming known for their art.

I’m a young female artist. What inspired me to create this is wanting to draw something to represent life where others can’t see it. My artwork makes me feel at peace when I look at it.

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

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.

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.
