Hi my name is Kharma and creating this piece made me feel loved and funny of energy.

Hello! My name's Sybil, and I make a bunch of OCs when I'm bored! I played a game called Cookie Run: Kingdom, and there were two new costumes that were in the game which was a playwright and actor. I got inspired by it, and drew some costumes for my two OCs - Pluvia and Tempestade (Tempestade is male). I always got a feeling of calmness and solemness when i look at the art. It does feel relaxing, like a calm dance.

I do gymnastics and love challenging myself to try new things, so she is a very inspiring person! I feel very proud when I look at this piece of art!

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.

This piece was crafted by Justice, using clay and paint on canvas. It is a map of The Kingdom of Epsilon, inspired by their book, The Courdhem Circus. I love to read and it was fun to bring the story to life!!

Why I drew this picture of Kirby, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, Marx, and Parasol Waddle Dee is because it reminds me of my childhood playing all different kinds of Kirby on the Wii, GameCube, and SNES. I always played with my mom so it is a thing with us to play Kirby cause we love it. Marx is my favorite character because I think he resembles me in his wild goofy way. Plus I'm short and good at balancing on balls.

This piece inspires me because it reminds me that even as things change, the idea of being free continues to bring people together and move forward.

I’m an artist and percussionist. The leaf in the picture is a real leaf that exists. I got the leaf on a visit in Opelousas, LA to see a professional artist that has artwork in museums. Her name is Mare Martin and she is also a gardener. The leaf came from her garden and I painted a still life of it. I creatively added the background from my imagination. When I painted it, I was excited thinking about the colors and how to make it cool. I had fun with it.

The inspiration for my artwork is space. Space has always inspired me so when I saw the category for the competition I knew that I had to do space. My artwork makes me happy and I am proud of it.

Art makes her life brighter, and it maker her brighter too, see, she is not just plain black like other penguins. And she wants to show that art make make everyone else's life brighter too.

In my drawing, I wanted to capture his imagination. I thought about whether he was alive today, and that he would have been ready to graduate high school, work, and travel. However, I was only able to capture his short childhood and things he liked, such as dinosaurs, cars, the beach, and the forest.

I named this Spark of Imagination. I based this drawing on the Five Nights at Freddys (FNaF) character Toy Bonnie. What inspires me about FNaF is the creator took one small idea and created something huge. That sparked my imagination. I began to create and draw my own characters. When I think my creations look bad, I remeamber that he kept going so I should too.

This artwork was inspired by my love of bright colors, which reminds of my personality, and, birds! I enjoy creating digital art because it allows me to experiment with blending colors and trying new techniques. I used what I learned from practicing digital painting to create a cheerful bird with a colorful, imaginative background. Art makes me happy because I can turn ideas in my mind into something beautiful to share with others.

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 name is Alex.

My piece was inspired by Dr. Seuss "The Lorax" and by the plaque that the Apollo 11 astronauts left on the Moon, declaring that they had come in peace for all mankind. Both inspired the main idea of the piece: everyone and everything is dependent upon everyone and everything else, and together we can do almost anything. Apollo 11 also gave my piece it's theme: space! I feel like I did a good job, especially on the Moon, and that my piece conveys what it's meant to convey.

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

This piece is a reflection of how life can seem so good and easy and put together but from the inside it’s hard and complicated. I feel like the soy sauce is like sudden tears in a way. Like how maybe it’s unexpected but happens anyway when you are overflowing with emotions. This piece was a painting my class did and I was really proud of it!

I created this piece on my tablet using a digital pencil and focused on giving the character a playful, confident personality.

My drawing classes inspired this picture, and I really like it and yeah.

The candles feel like a big inspiration for me, and I love the contrast with the background. It makes it feel like fire and water, and how they are separate, but go well together. It is very big, vibrant, and bold, but simple at the same time.

This is a character from Forsaken, a roblox game, and he is my favorite character. I drew him because he has a very easy and simple design!

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.

They inspire me to work hard and be a good person too.

Being autistic, I know stress and anxiety. Social life, school, and more- the list goes on. However, there are always two things I know help me: gaming and art! Taking a moment away and gaming in peace helps me feel calm and relaxed. I put those strong feelings into this animation. I spent a lot of time on this piece! I focused on lines, shapes, color language, and value when drawing. My biggest hope for this piece is that you relate to and/or remember this piece before you go to bed tonight.

Something that inspires me is the idea that robots can help people and improve communities in the future. I enjoy robotics and engineering because they, along with creativity, can be used to solve problems and make life easier.

I designed it to show strength, multifunctionality, and the ability to protect and even rescue people.

Even though I sometimes feel like it's not good enough, I'm still glad I painted it.

I love to make my characters bright and colorful. Cinnamoroll is one of my favorite characters ever. When we drew this piece in class, I thought that I should combine the two things I love which is color and cinnamoroll which made this art piece one of my favorites!

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

I love to draw and paint, and dance and play music, and read. I have always enjoy watching a pencil glide across a page as an image forms, taking shape and gathering emotion. Little lines ,some bold some soft, create the art we see, turning a blank paper or canvas into something beautiful. It is a truly incredible thing, the way we, as humans, see the world around us. Perspective is intriguing.

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.

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