I like art and animals. My artwork was inspired by watching minions and the love of art. This piece of artwork makes me feel more confident in my abilities.

I love horses and live in the desert.

Arya is a creative young artist who loves drawing fun and expressive characters. Her artwork, Party Panda, shows her playful imagination and love for animals, with a cheerful panda ready to celebrate. Through her drawings, Arya brings joy, personality, and creativity to life.

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.

I love painting and mixing colors to make new colors. At co-op we learned about Claude Monet. I painted my own lilies and practiced creating texture with paint and brush bristles.

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 just moved to a new house and there is a horse across the street that has become my new best friend. He comes to the fence to greet me and I love to feed him carrots and he loves to see me everyday. He loves when I pet him and cuddle his nose and I actually love it too just as much as he does.

well i love cats and i love Christmas too so I decided to bring those two together and make kitty Christmas.

Hi, I'm Triston. I love playing the guitar and making art. I made this glass mosaic for my guitar teacher. It took a lot of time to get all the glass pieces just right, but I had fun making it!

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

My name is Matea. I am in 5th grade and live in Minnesota. I am a professional actor and I am bilingual. In addition to acting, I love singing and painting. I think cactuses are a delightful part of nature. We don't have any where I live, so when I get to see them in person, I feel cheerful and terrific.

I really like the colours in the sky when the sun goes down. I visited Beijing with my family in the summer and when I looked out the window I saw this. I wanted to paint it. I love painting and drawing.

What inspired me to make this art is my love and creativity to make characters, so since I love creating characters I have drew one of mine. To express my love, this character has lore, it has an explanation to this piece of art.

I am taking a watercolor class. This piece was painted during the class. It makes me feel in tune with nature.

Hello! I am a young artist who likes to draw digitally, traditionally, and I also create animations! This piece was for my godfather; showing all the fun times we had together in our little group of me, my brother, my friend, and my friend’s brother (the gang:).

I am six years old and I love to create through drawing, painting and model making. I was inspired by Jim Dine to create this painting for my mother using mixed media like tissue paper, crayon and paints. The painting makes me feel happy as it uses the colors I love and the heart is full of love.

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.

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 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 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.

Hello I'm Milana! I really love to draw and I tried to explain through this drawing how much the sky and the stars means to me... It's like something you always look up to and that shines bright! I'm this drawing there's a dragon that grants the power of the little girl that can summon the northern lights with the background of the stars

My name is Camilla and I am 8 years old. I made this piece as gift for my mom because it is her favorite flower. The painting makes me feel happy.

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.

My name is Luke and I love to build. I hope to build a building one day that makes people feel loved, like how heaven is.

My name is Sercie and I love drawing people and their expressions. I have five siblings (three biological), so I’m always surrounded by different personalities that inspire my art. This piece is inspired by a homeschooled Olympian and the quiet strength it takes to follow your own path. I created it with markers and pen, focusing on emotion in the eyes and face. Art is my escape and a way to capture the stories I see in people.

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.

The picture is called Evening. It makes me feel calm and quiet. I like how the sky looks soft at the end of the day. I like drawing because it makes me happy. I also like playing with my sister.

My name is Selah and i am 6 years old. I love to draw and make artwork. This painting is called Africa because I love Africa and would like to visit there sometime.

I have been creating art since I was a baby. From finger paint and sidewalk chalk to digital art and oil pastels, I love learning new mediums and developing my skills. My piece is inspired by the resilience of nature. In the face of disasters (natural or man-made), something will survive and create a new beauty. When I immigrated to Canada, I experienced loss. Pieces like this helped me find the beauty in change. A tree isn't beautiful because it is static, but rather because it is resilient.

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I'm so happy to be in this contest! Something that inspired my art was the beautiful, colorful city and the beauty of being up high to see it, and at the same time feeling a calm stillness of being alone and sitting in the rain. I also really wanted to put my OC Nauro in it, and having him looking down on the city, which I think came out really nice! I really hope you like my art!

I am a natural Artist. Art flows through my hands. My art is gold. I have a natural talent in painting since a young child. I also create digital art drawing from cartoons I enjoy, i.e. Sprinkles, Rainbow Friends, Smiling Critters, Minecraft and more. My favorite art form is Angelic Art. I paint in all mediums: acrylic, metallic acrylic, oil, fluid art, Impasto (Italian Art), Suminagashi (Japanese Art), tempera, sensorial art, watercolor, glow in the dark artwork, airbrush painting and beyond!

Raelyn started drawing last year and has come very far! She loves drawing people with different fashion styles and is working on animals as well. Raelyn wants to share her art and for people to know that the more you practice, the better you will get!

knights are super cool and i love how the armor looks

As a young child, I was terrified of tornadoes and extreme weather. As I've grown older, I've fallen in love with it instead! I now want to become a meteorologist and storm chaser. I hope to help save lives through accurate weather prediction. And I hope to inspire young people like myself who are terrified of strong storms they can't control. Tornadoes, like the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013, inspire me to overcome my greatest fears!

I am Layla, and I love a lot of mascot horror (a media that makes a setting with a mascot scary!) I made this art piece with a character from Indigo Park, which is a game I love a lot! I think Rambley the Racoon, who is the mascot and digital guide character! I decided to draw him to show my love for the game!

basketball really inspires me, so I made a pixel art picture of an hourglass pouring dream sand. It shows a classic basketball and hoop.

I've had a passion for art from a young age, and I want to prove to myself how far I've come. I used the impasto technique to really bring the subject off the canvas. I wanted to create a sense of movement with the strokes of the paint fanning out from the wings and adding texture to the scales. I wanted this to feel like you could pluck it straight out of the canvas. I made shape of the flowers and the background more suggestive, blurry; trying to create a depth that pushes the moth forward.

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. It is inspiring to me since after all their hard work, they got the thing they wanted most: reaching the surface.

I made this piece based off of a book that I read. In the book, this girl (Willa), has a satchel, and it is full of all these little trinkets as shown on the artwork, including jewelry and bows. This drawing makes me feel proud, because I think that it turned out really well and really captured the feel of the book.

I love art. And the thing that inspired me is anime and dogs. And it makes me feel proud of myself.

I love to be creative. It make me feel excited about summer time. It is based on a summertime favorite treat.

My name is Shae. I love foxes and the stars, so I figured, why not combine them?

My name is Connor. I really like the night sky, because it's really pretty and there's a lot of possibility. I chose to paint this, because it makes me think of the night sky, even when I'm not outside. It makes me feel happy, but sometimes when I look at it I feel like I'm not very good at painting. Even though I sometimes feel like it's not good enough, I'm still glad I painted it.

My Science class inspired my piece because we learned about gravity. It makes me feel like we're safe because gravity is holding us.

My name is Ava. I love taking art classes from Mrs. Lauren and using watercolors. I liked doing this Hidden Tiger piece because it makes me feel like I am in an actual jungle watching a tiger staring at his prey.

I did this in my art class, and i loved how it turned out so i wanted everyone to see it!

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.

This mural is inspired by the last seven years I've spent worldschooling with my family across 50 countries. In biodiversity hotspots like Brazil, Costa Rica, and Thailand, I was surrounded by multitudes of vibrant birds and colorful flowers. Traveling filled me with awe, joy, and a deep sense of wonder, so I painted this huge 9' x 12' wall mural. I hope its size and scale invites people who walk by to pause, feel that same wonder, and cherish the beauty of our wonderful world.

After my mom introduced me to the Series from the library, I have been obsessed With keeper of the lost cities. I am a major reader and I’m already at book 5 (Lodstar) out of a round 10 Books.

I love bright colors and cool textures. I am always looking for fun ways to make my art pop! I was inspired by Pop Art and how one thing can look so different in a bunch of colors. I used bubble wrap as a stamp for the background. It looks like giant sprinkles. It was so satisfying to dip the bubbles in paint and press them down! This art work makes me feel happy and energized. All the neon colors remind me of a sunny summer day when I’m about to eat my favorite ice cream!

This is Felix from the K-Pop group Stray Kids. I have been in drawing classes with Outschool for several years now and I love drawing.

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.

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.

My name is Elsie H, this art work was inspired by my friend. I am very honoured to be in this contest. My oc Lizzy is very nice, funny, and loving. She loves to play guitar. She has a very nice smile and she likes to swim. Also, she loves the summertime. Thank you! - Elsie

“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.”

"You can always achieve your goals if you make effort to try (because my piece shows a woman walking through a field to her goals)."

I would to enter this. I really hope you guys like it.

I just love creating! I created this after one of my classes talked about Picasso.

Hello! I’m Eva, and I’ve created a drawing inspired by Ejae. The doodles in the center represent lyrics from her songs. She began singing Kpop songs at 3, but was rejected as a Kpop trainee at 23 after 10+ years of very hard work. The stripes represent her hardship. Yet Ejae didn’t give up, and is now a singer/songwriter, and the singing voice of Rumi from “Kpop Demon Hunters”. She can relate to the character a lot, herself. The color splotches represent emotion. I love drawing and music, too.

I decided to create a bowl of alphabets so that I could practice my letters by eating each sound!

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

~ Sun and Moon, sisters in soul, pass each other in a fleeting moment of wonder; dancing in starlight. ~ Hello, thank you for reading this and viewing my art! My name is Madeline and I've always loved making art, but I didn't start digital art until 2020 during the pandemic. Since then I have enjoyed following my art journey wherever it has led me. The inspiration for this piece came from eclipses as the concept has always fascinated me, and I recently viewed one from my backyard.

I like ballet, art, and I love my sister! I’ve been in the nutcracker twice I think I’m very good at art. And my piece reminds me of being with my family.

I love animals, especially wolves and baby wolf pups. Wolves are my favorite because they are part of the dog family, and I love dogs. I was inspired to draw this because wolves are strong and protective. They take care of their families and keep each other safe. In my picture, the wolf lives in the mountains like a guardian watching over its home. This makes me feel happy because the wolf is peaceful and free and doing what it loves in nature.

I am in third grade and I am writing a comic book called Woodland Walkers: Beginning of the Walkers. My drawing has the characters of my book. I love nature and the color purple. I love animals, especially foxes and wolves. My drawing makes me feel excited and calm and it makes me want to call a pack of wolves!

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!

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.

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, 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.

I'm from Canada where there is lots of snow right now. I enjoy going to the zoo and watching the snow leopards. When I look at the snow leopard in my picture, I think about how much I love to go outside and play in the snow. I like to build snow forts, have snow ball fights and go for snowmobile rides. I also like to play with my 2 out door cats who remind me of the snow leopard.

I drew this dog because dogs make me feel brave and strong. My favorite thing to draw is animals .

"I am an 11 year old boy who loves to read, write, take care of my pets and have countless opportunities of fun. I drew this because it makes me feel happy, so calm, and so at home." These are Dylan's words. As his mama, I delight in witnessing his weekly commitment to private art classes on Outschool since February, 2024.

I like the game dandy’s world so I thought it would be cool to make an oc for like the alternate universes I make in my head so this is a more updated version of her this is Bowie

I enjoy creating art that tells a story through color, nature, and imagination. This piece was inspired by a dream of a magical world full of birds, where the rainbow seemed endless and the moon glowed like the sun. A great crane soaring peacefully through the sky made me think of freedom, hope, and beauty. It reminds me to believe in myself, think big, and imagine endless possibilities.

My name is Alex.

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 love to do art because it allows me to use my hands and helps me to focus. Art helps me to feel better by calming my mind. When I do art, I can be creative in making many characters. I enjoy making faces with lots of details. My art is called Dotty Frost. She is named Dotty Frost because she has on Poki dotted and frosted clothing. I love her shiny hair with one braid on each side. At the end of each braid, she has a claw to hold hearts, and other things. Dotty Frost is a kind character.
