Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

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.

Hi my name is Harper. I was 7 when I made this painting of the tiger eye with Miss Amy in watercolor. It makes me feel strong.

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 like to draw cats. I drew this for my brother's birthday. It started as a normal cat, but got inspired to add wings. I like that this cat is creative and unusual.

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

Hi, I'm Kefira! This piece was inspired by my beloved bunny, Miss Baby Bunson (but we just call her Bunson). She passed away recently and I wanted to take this wonderful chance to honor her (rest in peace, Bun-Bun). She was a very sweet, lovable bunny and I feel that this artwork really captures her adorably curious self. I will cherish this piece forever and hang it in my room as soon as I get a frame!

My name is Emilio and I love drawing because you can tell a story in your own way. I learned about the meteor shower which killed dinosaurs and that inspired me to draw Robo Dino. In this story the meteor shower causes fire and Robo Dino was the only dinosaur to survive. He lost parts of his body but found a robot body that he used to save himself. Now he is happy to start a new life in the city. This drawing makes me feel happy that the dinosaur survived and escaped the fire.

My name is Sercie, and I love capturing people and their expressions in my art. I have five siblings (three biological), so I’m always surrounded by different personalities that inspire my drawings. I did my entire kindergarten year on Outschool, and my teacher Shelby is still in my life today. Art is my escape and a way to express myself. I created this piece on my tablet using a digital pencil and focused on giving the character a playful, confident personality.

My name is Aarya, and I love drawing animals. I was inspired to create this piece because I enjoy studying how animals look and trying to capture their expressions and personalities. I especially liked working on the eyes and fur to make the drawing come alive. This artwork makes me feel proud and excited, and it inspires me to keep practicing and getting better at art.

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.

I have always enjoyed drawing, and foxes are one of my favorite animals. Foxes have always made me feel calmer when times are hard. This drawing was inspired by the calmness and relaxation I feel from foxes, and while drawing.

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.

At school I was doing a research project on jellyfish and so I decided to draw a jellyfish with other sea creatures, because I love the ocean and some of my favorite animals live in the ocean. Jellyfish live without brains or hearts and glow in the dark!

Hi! I'm Samantha and I have been doing art as long as I can remember, and I have always loved it! My piece is a surprising friendship between a yellow Labrador and a Mallard duck along a pond with a beautiful mountain setting. I love this piece because it reminds me of my favorite animals along with my favorite setting, mountains. My love of the outdoors and animals is also what inspired this piece.

The main two things that inspired my piece are 1. the stars, and 2. my love for Greek art. I wanted to incorporate the process I once learned the Greeks commonly used to properly create "beautiful" women and "handsome" men (typically the Archimedean spiral) as well as the art worthy equations that explain the creations, movements, and positions of nebulas, energy, and matter. In the end, I wanted the piece to feel inspiring, dramatic, and free.

My artwork is inspired by my grandpa and watching beautiful, colorful sunsets. I always wanted to get to know my grandpa, so in my artwork is me and him walking in a beautiful winter forest, as the sun sets. My grandpa always dressed nicely, and wore a nice old fashion hat. He loved nature and taught my mom how to throw river rocks that skid on lakes. My mom always tells me stories about him, and what he was like. It takes me to a different time and I am happy he was my grandpa.

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.

My piece was inspired when I went on a trip to Kenya Africa. The animals who roamed seemed so free, especially from taxes. The animals also seemed so majestic, like the slimness of the cheetah or the mane of the lion. So I wanted to show that freedom in an art work symbolizing the animals being free.

I made this piece because I love dogs and mice. I think that this piece is very colorful, and I like anything that is colorful, especially if it explodes. Mickey made a cake, and Pluto wanted it, but Pluto is a dog, and dogs aren't supposed to eat certain types of cake. Mickey baked Pluto a dog-friendly cake, so they can eat cake together. I showed my mom and she liked it. I was a bit surprised because she hates mice, but she told me that Mickey wasn't a mouse for some reason. I'm very confused.

My name is Jaya and my passion is to draw cats. Fire is the name of a comic book I’m making. When I draw cats, it makes me feel good and it’s really easy to draw my cat. It’s really cool with the eyes I make, and I love making my cats. It makes me feel good.

I grew up in a city and I loved the wonder of these sky-reaching monuments with many people all doing their own thing. I also liked seeing how ecosystems function like jungles and oceans. So I based this piece off of the idea of conserving and having industrialization and cities being in harmony and intertwined with the natural world. It makes me feel hopeful for what humanity can do if we'd allow ourselves to function with nature and actually make an effort to conserve the beauty of ecosystems.

I was inspired by my interest in coral reefs. I love drawing different types of coral and then adding in other creatures. My piece makes me feel in awe of the coral reef habitat.

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.

I am a 5th grade student who enjoys drawing and expressing my feelings through art. I chose to submit this drawing because it is my first realistic eye drawing and because an eye can show emotions without using words.

This drawing makes me feel proud, and it reminds me that it’s okay to have a lot of different emotions while I’m growing and learning.

As a person who's always adored cats, the Bengal tiger is a feline I have always admired for it's majestic behavior and resplendent striped coat.
