Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

My name is Teigan and i love making art. I usually draw anime style characters. For this i got inspiration from the amazon jungle and a Lotus flower. To me my peice gives me a sense of calm and peace.

When I made this artwork, I felt deeply connected with the inspiration flow between my reality and fantasies. Art is the one thing fulfilling the gap between what’s real and what’s not - this artwork describes my gap between fiction and reality.

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’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.

My name is Greyson. I love drawing characters anything from comics to kaiju. Sonic characters are my favorite, I especially enjoy creating different scenes along with them.

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.

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 love One Piece so I wanted to do a character from that franchise, and so chose this art piece because he’s my favorite character. I feel like this drawing shows his power, possibly aura, of his personality. Confident, cool, so on so forth.

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. I have been doing this art class on Outschool for a year, and it's helped me with depth, white and black coloring and letting me create my artistic ideas. This piece makes me feel proud of my work and my progress.

Hello i am beth! And ever since i was little ive loved dragons! And ive put that love into this piece of art!

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 horses and live in the desert.

We love the lumas from super Mario bros!

This is the original version of Godzilla. During his first appearance in 1954 he was black and white, so I decided that using his original colors would keep a faithful design to his debut appearance, and would also feel original for today's standards. Without his first appearance and that original idea of him the franchise of Godzilla would have never started in the first place, so choosing this design is meant to give respect to the first model that ever came out.

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.

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!

hi! My name is Payton S. I am 10 years old, i live in a growing town in Indiana! i love theater, singing, and esspecially art!!! i also love my dog, georgia! she is the best dog ever. so thats what i encorperated in my piece. i think i would be amazing to win the money, but even more amazing to have my piece showcased in times square in New York!!!!!!!🫶🏻

Batman is the original style of comics art that inspired the anime that I like to draw. -Phoenix

I love painting sunsets and was inspired by all our trips to different beaches. It makes me feel happy and always ready to be at the beach.

I enjoy taking the architecture classes. I have learned a lot about line work and landscapes around the world.

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.

My drawing is called Winter Day. Drawing this made me feel peaceful. I imagined the crisp cold air, the softness of the snow, and the joy that comes with a winter day. I wanted to show how winter looks, and how it feels. It looks so beautiful. Even though I live in a place where a lot of snow is rare, I thought of my past memories of playing in the snow with my sister and what a perfect snowy day would look like.

Now over two years I have been enjoying and learning animal drawing lessons on Outschool with Michelle Yother. Drawing animals is cute and a lot of fun!

I enjoy painting because it allows my creativity and imagination to come alive on canvas. This drawing captures a white-tailed deer who is wandering in woods without any fear and hesitation. I get inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding us including plants, animals and surreal nature. This reminds us that boundaries and rules are for humans, we should be free to wander, explore and choose our path to success.

Hi! My name is Aanya, and I love love love cats, which inspired my art(I made it on ProCreate). It was made as one of my OCs, with a part of her face sunlit and the rest dark. It signifies that even in the darkest of times, there is hope. I hope you like it!!

Even though I am not able to drink coffee yet, I was inspired by watching my parents drink their morning cups of coffee.

My name is Gavin, and I made this painting because I love my dog, Mickey. He is the one who inspired this piece, and I painted this right in front of him! It makes me feel happy to see it every day and think of the dog I love.

This is my current DnD character, shes a kitsune and a rogue with the pirate background, and shes inspired by Foxy from Five nights at Freddy's

I love art and have been studying it since preschool. I spend much of my free time at art classes or drawing in my sketchbook. This art was inspired by the snow we had this year and my love for nature especially highland cows. I hope to be an artist when I grow up.

Hi! My name is Oliver, and recently I've been super fixated on the game Undertale so I decided to draw my favorite character from it, Mettaton! This drawing was my first attempt at doing vibrant/shiny rendering and I am very proud at how I did. Undertale as a game is super comforting to me as the story is so compelling and easy to come back to. The fact my art has now reached the level of being able to portray one of my favorite characters *ever* makes my heart so happy. Thank you for reading 🖤

I really like nature. We have bird feeders and cardinals go to it all the time. They inspired my drawing. I am very proud of my cardinal drawing and I think it's my best drawing.

What inspired me was my main therian mask I made as a human like version. I thought it would be cool to make her a human in a unsettling but cute way. It makes me feel more confident to be weird and who I am and also creative. She honestly IS me but a psycho version.

I was inspired by nature.i feel peaceful about it.i also like books.especially books that have a lot of detail in the pictures.

This art piece was made by me and these are my own characters Mark and Roxy! What inspired me is a anime with two characters in this pose! Mark is the golden colored dog and Roxy is the Brown sheep. I hope you enjoy my art piece:3

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.

My name is Addison. I was inspired to draw and color a snail rainbow because me feel happy.

I love owls, birds, and sunset. This piece was chosen due to my love of these things and the beautiful colors, I love the contrast the eyes create.

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’m a weaver and garment maker who pushes each project to teach me something new. I wove the striped, polka dot, and solid fabrics on an 8-shaft loom using the yarn shown, then constructed these boots from scratch on a last. This was my first time making boots. The project involved shaping with heat and stiffeners, setting grommets, securing heels, and adding leather trim. I love polka dots for both their look and structural challenge. This piece reflects my process: learning by doing.

I'm 8 and want to be an art teacher when I grow up. I drew this picture in the Kpop Demon Hunter art class. Kpop Demon Hunters is my favorite! I hope you like it.

Hi, my name is Kellan

My aunt lives in Louisiana and drew a pelican. She sent me her drawing and encouraged me to draw my own. I sent my drawing back to her and she appreciated my effort. It was a challenge and fun at the same time.

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.

“She is happy and curious about the future, she is protected by her tikka. She is me.”

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

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!

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 Ella-Gayle. I love to read, and I especially enjoy drawing. I have been drawing my whole life. I do digital art as well. My favorite Outschool classes are 'Draw Every Day' with Mr. Dustin and 'Procreate Studio' with Ms. Uli. I call this drawing "Meg", and it was inspired by Disney Princesses. It makes me feel like I am a Disney Character Designer. When I grow up, I want to be a famous artist.

This is my dog Mia. I love her.

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.

I found two trees at a place, one was in full bloom and it looked really pretty while, the other was completely dead looking. I was then inspired to draw two trees with one that is full of life, and the other dark. I thought the light bulbs in the back looked pretty, because the place I was at, had a string of light bulbs behind the trees.

I have a passion for art and I love to motivate people. I made this piece to inspire people who are going through rough times and feel lost. This piece made me feel happy and inspirational!

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

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 art makes me happy.

I really like sea turtles, beaches, and sunsets. The beach reminded me of some of my best memories. My memories inspired me to paint this, combined with some of the things I like. It makes me feel like I went back into my memories, I wish I can find sea turtles soon. It reminds me of the time when I went to the beach in Korea and me and my sister found some really good shells! I used paint because I feel like you can make more with it and if you mess up, you can turn mistakes into masterpieces!

I was inspired that my state holds the country’s tallest straight drop waterfall

This piece was inspired by magic, ever since I was a kid I have always loved the idea of magic so I designed this piece to show the character using the magic of light as she is conjuring up a spell

So I made this because I had just started an art class so we did it together in the class but I was scared I would mess up and I did several times but I fixed it and now it looks amazing and I'm very proud of myself for doing so<3

I really enjoy painting. I feel you can do anything with paints. I was inspired to paint this piece because it was winter time.

It reminds me of my handheld I got and it makes me happy, the characters in the piece is from the handheld

As a stargazer, seeing a night sky filled with different kinds of wonders always amazes me. This inspired me to combine many different night-sky objects together. It makes me feel peaceful and fulfilled. I think anyone who sees this in real life will be breathtaken and amazed to the eye!

I made this heart pillow for my mom so that she can always snuggle with my love. One side is a heart pattern and one side is red and really fuzzy.

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!

What inspired me was Warriors Erin hunter

it is me

My name is Liliana and what inspired me was my love for animals. My favorite kind of rabbit is a Lop Eared. I love drawing animals because I love animals! They are cute, sweet, and innocent. I hope to get a rabbit like this one day.

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'm obsessed with drawing and I eat a lot of food. I'm obsessed with The Strongest Battlegrounds. My art makes me feel good. And I'm eight years old."

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, my name is Oscar and I love planes, Pokémon and robots. I was inspired to create this because I wanted to make a comic strip about a little robot. The main character is called Artbot and he lives on a harsh junk planet in space but, suddenly a spaceship above explodes and flaming parts fall out of the sky! Since I wanted a happy ending, in the end he gets back up and starts again turning a bad thing into a good thing! Since its volume 1, I'm going to make more comics about robots in space.

This piece reminds me of my first art class on Outschool. I could never get into art, I tried but was always frustrated and unsatisfied with the outcome. I found a digital art class on Outschool and was immediately impressed with the teacher. He made digital art not only engaging but achievable to someone like me. In my first class he showed me his planet art, much like this one. It was amazing, and I was doubtful I could achieve this level. So this piece is special to me and how far I've come.

I am 11 years old and enjoy drawing. This piece was meant to be my. Character picking some fruit from her garden during a sunrise.

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.

Hi! My name is Chrissa and I love art!!! I absolutely adore cats and this drawing was inspired by a VERY cute cat named Coco. This picture makes me feel so happy!!!

I love drawing: it’s a way of telling about myself. I got inspired to make this drawing when my art teacher said we will be making a sleeping mythical creature I knew I wanted to make a fox . The fox is sleeping inside the den until the sunset rises. While sleeping, the world is becoming a colourful and peaceful place to live. Like our dreams, sweet dreams…

I like to draw interesting creatures.

My name is Zachary and I like reading, sketching, and playing tabletop role playing games. For this piece, I wondered what it would be like to be at the bottom of a puddle looking up through it as if it was a window to see who was looking down. I'm proud of it, and it makes me feel happy and relaxed.

What inspires me to make this is The animal grooming truck I saw outside my house. my favorite part was the puppies. The smaller parts represent that they are far away the and the bigger ones represent. They are closer in the picture. my other favorite part was the rainbow with the crown, unicorn horn and puppy ears.

“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.”

Hi I'm Ella what inspired my drawing was my dogs. I love to draw all kinds of animals. It makes me happy to draw them because they are so cute. I drew my dogs with pencil.

I love to read, write, and draw. The Wings of Fire series has inspired me a lot in my writing and my art. I've read the books and drawn the characters countless times. Every time I do, I find something new that inspires me and pushes me to keep creating. Glory is one of my favorite characters in the books, which is why I chose to draw her as my entry for this showcase.

I have only done comic drawings before but I decide to take a class and have been learning how to draw more realistic art. I still love my comics but I also love learning new ways to use my art. I hope to one day use my asset in a career.

I like Anime

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!

I love horses. We have a horse and 3 donkeys. I love spending time with them- feeding, petting, riding, brushing, but not cleaning up after them. I love to draw all types of horses and this is an Appaloosa.

I am inspired by cats because they're so cute, fluffy, playful and cuddly. I decided to see what would happen if I turned myself into half a cat and half normal. I have fostered kittens for my entire life and it has taught me to care for animals that need my help. I am now responsible and caring because of taking care of cats. I want to be more like cats and be loving to everyone. My picture shows me being more like cats.

My name is Makeba, and I drew this piece to represent characters in a book I am writing. Seeing this piece makes me feel peace.

I was inspired to draw this colorful abstract cat because I am obsessed with cats. the colors in the back are like me because i am hyper and colorful. I am not here to win just to show my art and If I do that would be nice so I can buy some books and do more clubs. I hope you enjoy looking at my art.

I was thinking about a amusement park and some times they have fire works there so I thought it would be nice for a piece with fireworks

These two are my original characters, which inspire most of my art. They both are misfits in a way who have found belonging in one another, and despite their difference in personality, they are “made” for each other in a way I guess.

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.

Dedicated to the conservation heroes who inspire children like myself to care, research, restore, and educate. My childhood mission to bring awareness to climate change, illegal wildlife trade, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution is driven by influential conservationists, environmentalists, and activists such as Steve Irwin, Jane Goodall & David Attenborough. “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved.” -Dr. J. Goodall

Personally, I am very afraid of bugs. However, I've always enjoyed watching butterflies, which is why I decided to draw them. I am also commonly inspired by nature.

I love making art and this piece is one of my favorites overall. I did this piece in class and I was very happy with how it turned out after shading it in and taking my time with this artwork.

I LOVE doing art! I made a picture to inspire others for a more peaceful world. I love animals and nature, so that is what inspired me. This picture makes me feel proud and like I can make the world a better place! I hope you get inspired too! Thank You for taking your time to look at my art and read about it!

I really like Ariana and I wanted to draw this for fun.

My inspiration is Nike, my leopard gecko. I am inspired by her beauty, her graceful movement, and her soft, chubby tail. I care for her and all her needs, but she doesn't always notice me. I don't mind that because I simply love watching her hunt, hide, sleep, and crawl in her habitat. I am drawn to her patterns and textures, and I was trying to not only replicate her appearance but capture her true beauty.

This picture was inspired by the endlessness of space. It amazes me how much we’ve explored, yet there is still so much we don’t understand or know about it.

I enjoy painting and realistic drawing. This piece, title Dream Cat, is inspired by my love of cats and John Nieto's Wildcat. I proud of this artwork. It makes me feel happy.
