Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

My names Tallulah. I am a 13 year old artist. This art is a year or two old, but it definitely is my favorite piece of mine. Photorealism and hyperrealism have always been my favorite art styles. I always admire artists that can draw realistically, so the fact I was able to draw something as realistic as this always cheers me up:]

From time to time, a specific fascination emerges from the back of my mind: what would various objects and animals look like if they were humans? How would they act as people? What kind of occupations would they take up within society? The term “gijinka” means to personify a non-human object or creature, and designing gijinkas has always been a source of exploration for me! I hope this inspires you to draw inspiration from various household items - they could make fascinating characters!

My name is Nola Mae and I have been riding horses since I was 6, For 8 years now, since I first started riding, I dreamed of competing at a place like CHP, and a few months ago I was able to make that dream come true and compete there winning first place with sarge, I used what exactly went through my head when I won, all my little 6 year old memories playing back in my head during my last stride to the winning last jump and all the hard work I did to get there

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.

The fish were a great joy for the piece and the curves of water I thought added a great look. I did the background in acrylic paint and the fish in Sharpie, some I DID NOT SHARPIE. I like any type of art as long I'm DOING ART and HAVING FUN! Because ART IS NOT ART IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN.

Hi, my name is Makayla, I love to draw dogs, it is my passion, I am taking drawing classes so that, in the future I can become a pet portrait. This drawing of a puppy dog named Mika, she is my friend's dog.

This is my dad's favorite animal and I made this for his birthday.

My name is Aslan. I am 8 years old and I do an art class. This is one of my favorite projects from class and I wanted to put it in the contest. I used watercolor, oil pastels, and a picture of myself to create this piece. I feel happy when I look at this art and I hope you will, too!

My name is Devon and I love art and crafting. I love to painting with watercolor or drawing with color markers. My favorite times are when I just paint what is on my mind, like this painting of the ocean titled "Birds Flying Into the Sunset".

The inspiration for my piece was Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, a video game that I love. I feel really proud of my work because I worked really hard on it. My favorite part of this piece is the way that I mixed markers and colored pencils together. I hope you like it too!

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.

I wanted to make it because I love animals and porcipines are cute. this piece makes me happy

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.

My name is Krisha and I drew a Fennec Fox on the Procreate app. I think I did a good job!!!! I want people to feel calm when they look at this picture because of the warm colors and the fox’s relaxed position. I want people to imagine going on ian adventure with the fox! Also let me give you a quick fun fact: they can hear underground!!!

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 live in Alaska I love animals, horses are my favorite animal. I have 2 pet parakeets, 2 pet cats, and 3 pet goats. I painted this piece in my watercolor class. I have never been very confident in drawing/painting people, this is one of the first paintings I have done of a person and I am very proud of how it turned out.

I used multiple techniques I learned from my watercolor class to make and layer this picture. I made it during class and also added more after class.

What inspired me was Warriors Erin hunter

Hello! I love creating digital art on my iPad. I specifically love drawing people and or animals. What inspired my piece was lotus flowers, which you can find on the outside of the drawing. They're one of my favourite flowers, and I love drawing them. I wanted to create an art piece where I could draw a whole bunch of them! I love how colorful the drawing is; it makes me feel happy. I just love looking at it!

I am Aadvik from Mrs.Roxy class. I love to draw Anime characters. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of my favorite shows. I like Yuji because he is strong and cool :D

Hi! My name is Keegan. I love to read, write, and draw, and I thought that as a artist it would be fun to submit one of my drawings in this contest. The one I chose is a picture of the main character of a book I'm going to write, Dawn, climbing out of an underground city that was not treating her well. I think it is inspiring of her to do that, instead of just staying there. Thank you for reading about my drawing!

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!

I love being a Girl Scout, baking/cooking, making friends, nature and drawing. What inspired me to sketch this was the beauty of human life and how it’s important to have nature on your shoulders and the treasures it brings to our lives. When I was looking through photographs of people and decided to work my first hyperrealism piece this one made me feel warmth and happiness within my soul. It reminds me of nature and autumn, like I am walking through an Aspen forest.

I like drawing dragons and playing video games. What inspired me to draw this was simply the urge to draw something. However, I am incredibly proud of the results and I hope you guys like it.

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

Hi my name is Valentina and I love drawing and sewing.I also love bows and bedazzling things so I had to put it in my art piece!! I was inspired by my fashion design class. We did runway fashion this week. It makes me feel happy and joyful!! I hope you love it.🩷🎀

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

As a 15-year-old homeschooler drawn to watercolor, I enjoy transforming ordinary subjects into expressive works of art. This mixed-media rendition of an old streetlight reflects my fascination with light, mood, and the quiet beauty found in everyday scenes.

Hi! I love drawing I started when my older cousin inspired me too draw. What inspired to make this art work is because of flexibility, I can do a hand stand so I thought why can't my paper! After I was finished and I read through the artwork page thing and I saw it said to be creative undecided to go for it! I added a lot of neon and shiny colors to make it pop I really enjoyed making the art work and I hope you did too :)

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.

Hello! My name is Adalynn! This piece is inspired by my love for animals. While drawing it, I initially struggled because my cat's ears were too tall and skinny. I had mistakenly drawn over the ears with colored pencil, which made it impossible to erase. I overcame this problem by using a sand eraser, which was the perfect tool for the job. It was a risk to attempt a realistic drawing, but I'm very happy with the result. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you enjoy my artwork!

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.

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.

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 was inspired by a picture of a bird that my instructor used in my High School Art class and my desire to increase my skill at drawing realistic subjects. I decided to use pointillism to illustrate it because I really enjoy that technique.

I am Bree! I made this piece to show the coming of spring. I drew this to show how wonderful spring is and I added the steps of my drawing for how it turned into this painting. Thank You!

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

Hello! My name is Arberleah but most people call me Leah. I live in a small town and have been homeschooled my whole life, so I have always had lots of time to explore my passions. What I am most passionate about is my art. Recently I have been getting back into reading and exploring fictional worlds once again, and now images come to me so vividly as i read, I just have to get them out of my head and onto canvas. I hope my art can remind everyone to never stop looking for inspiration.

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.

I woke up one morning with a burst of energy and the urge to create something, and even without a plan, the image of a hot air balloon came to mind and felt right to follow. I wanted this piece to reflect a calm and peaceful feeling, so I focused on creating a sense of stillness through the overall mood. This artwork represents how no matter where life takes you, there will always be a place to pause, breathe, and simply exist, showing the importance of finding peace in the journey.

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

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

My name is Leni Gless. I am 11 years and am a 6th grader in Chapel Hill, NC. I love to write stories and draw scenes from my stories to make it come to life. The stories I am currently writing, “Knights of the Impossible”, inspired this drawing. It shows the two main characters from my book, Ariana and her dragon Juco, in their kingdom.

My name is Aaniya g. And I was inspired to make this piece because it reminds me of myself- lazy in the morning, and never wanting to get up.

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 love making art because I love drawing things I love and using cool colors. It makes me feel cool to be an artist.

My bird class inspired my drawing. It makes me feel good. I love birds!

The movie Stitch inspired my piece putting my own spin on the creature wreaking havoc theme. Looking at what I created I feel proud.

My name is Cornelia and I am learning how to watercolor paint. I like it because I have fun doing it. This piece of art is called The Roadway Sunset. I like this piece of art because it's pretty. It makes me feel happy.

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 love to design cake decorations, so I drew this cupcake on a picnic blanket which makes me happy.

I live in the Portugal and we see many bunnies gathering to watch the sun set.

My name is Alia and I wanted to share this pice of artwork because I feel so proud I was able to make it. I am honestly not that focused on wining, but more on showing people what I am most talented at, but I DEFINITELY don’t mind winning! By the way, a Deadly Nater is a dragon that can shoot spikes from its tail and can produce a fire blast from its throat to attack if needed.

I love making costumes and characters, and then drawing them into different outfits and places

My name is Paulina, I am seven years old. I live in a farm in Oregon. I like horses, I like drawing . I love my horse! I want to have a real one. 🙂

This piece shows my peaceful moment of resting in nature with animals. I was inspired by how calm it can feel to lie in the grass and spend time around animals. It makes me feel relaxed and reminds us to appreciate quiet moments and the outdoors. I made it with gauche and colored pencils, more of a mixed media piece.

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

My name is Korra. I like drawing and wanted to try an anime portrait mixed with some realism.

I am a lover of Japan and anime and love art. The characters are cool and I love their faces they make and how happy they look. I love using markers to make my drawings look real and make my art pictures for decorating my room so it can be like my own cool anime place!

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.

My name is Madissan, and I enjoy expressing myself through art. I created this drawing as a way to practice and improve my shading skills, which is something I’ve been really interested in learning. I wanted to see how I could use light and dark values to make my artwork look more realistic and detailed. This piece was inspired by my desire to challenge myself and grow as an artist. While working on it, I focused on blending and adding depth to bring the drawing to life. Art makes me feel good.

I was inspired by survival in the wild. In my painting, a girl and her cat are camping in the wilderness. There are many different trees and plants around them, and many shades of green that make the forest look full of life. In the middle of the picture, there is a warm campfire lighting up the girl. She is fishing by the river with her cat beside her. You can see their reflections in the water. Far away in the wilderness, there is a rainbow that you can faintly see in the sky.

I am a intensive dancer, and perform in many different genres of dance. But a favorite of mine is ballet. Recently, I was invited to go en pointe and received my first pair of pointe shoes. I am inspired to work hard and improve in ballet and pointe!

I hope that people feel happy when they see this drawing. I fed a rainbow lorikeet at the National Aviary, and I wanted to show the beautiful colors and really great feeling to everyone. I made colorful flowers and ants going weeee and jumping around with friends because all of nature is special and my favorite.

My name is Mercy and I'm 15 years old. Music has always greatly inspired me and I wanted to make a piece that represents that. I have a dream to visit California someday and make my own music, a dream that was in part inspired by one of my favorite bands, Incubus.

Hi, my name is Nadim. I chose to draw the sunset because it has a lot of beautiful colors and I like how the colors blend together. I like drawing nature scenes and views. This is one of my first and favorite drawings with oil pastels.

I really enjoyed making this self portrait. It reflects the most dignified version of myself, and really speaks to the responsibilities a hold. I painted this piece with acrylic markers, and I spent a whole afternoon on it rather than doing my Homework…don’t worry I still got the homework done. :D what do you think? Worthy of a vote?

I love art and nature and I want to be an artist or art teacher when I grow up. I was inspired to do this piece after seeing a family of deer that live behind my grandparents house. This piece makes me feel calm and peaceful.

I get really sleepy in math class. To keep myself awake, I often doodle. I started to draw snakes because it just felt natural. After school, I look up some snake pictures - and then, I start drawing. Drawing these snakes is a lot harder than it looks! And then - BOOM! - I drew this snake.

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.

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.
