This piece of art was inspired by classic ancient Chinese art. I developed a passion for watercolor when I was 11, instantly falling in love with the way you can play with imperfections, mix colors, and create movement on the page. When I look at this painting, I imagine the smooth way the koi move through the water. It makes me feel peaceful and wonder what it might feel like to be a koi—so calm and carefree.

I love to make my younger brother laugh with the cartoons I draw and my older brother and I love to design and build things with Lego. This drawing is of my grandfather.

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.

My piece was inspired when I went on a trip to Kenya Africa. The animals who roamed seemed so free, especially from taxes.

This painting represents the love I have for animals. And yes, I’m the kind of kid who watches a bird feeder for hours. When I spot a small sparrow, I don’t view him as an annoyance; I see him as a creature who has friends, a life, and a personality.

Then I slowly and carefully filled the entire large page with my artwork, using a pen to draw over it all again a second time! I'm proud of my work.

This piece took around 20 hours over the span of a week.

Hello, my name is Eunice. I’m eleven years old. I painted this using watercolor. I painted this because it showed a great amount of vitality and contrast. The word I thought would match this painting was “reflect”. “Reflect” because the afternoon sun reflects off of the cool water. “Reflect” because you are looking back to a day and reflecting the light, the good, out of it.

I have been drawing since I was 4. Now I am passionate about animals and conservation. This year I started painting, so that my sketches pop with color and display the diverse beauty of the animals and their environments. A documentary of a giant squid inspired me to draw this.

It makes me smile.
