Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

I love to make different art work. I have dyslexia, and art helps me express myself or my thoughts with no words. I painted this because teachers forget that even though I struggle with my writing, I do know how to express myself. People who are different feel lost in the shadows. My artwork makes me feel happy because I know that in the end I am bright. That is why I draw my star, and my face.

I’m Devon and I’m 9 years old. This drawing is about how when we protect even the smallest life, we protect the world. This is a drawing of “Kim the Bee from the top limb of the tree” which is a character from a story my dad made up for my brother and I at bed time. Thank you for reading

I am a girl who lives in an RV and travels around the U.S. with my family—two parents, two sisters and our two cats, Sage and Juniper. I have been drawing ever since I can remember and am usually drawing whenever I can. My piece was inspired by a photo of Juniper, taken after my sisters and I dressed her up. I feel very happy that she was such a good model, and think she looks very elegant and regal.

Hi, I'm Matthew. I like gaming, art, music, collecting things, and metal detecting. I made this piece because I was going through an odd period where my dreams were extremely vivid and colorful, but at the end would become almost distant and would fade to white before ending, almost is if they were trying to tell me, "This isn't real" before fading away. This piece reminds me of those times and makes me feel oddly satisfied and wildly confused with this strange period of bizarre dreams.

I'm Meleana. I've always liked drawing and creating digital art that feels a little different, something that invites you to look twice. The piece came to me in a dream, almost like a quiet moment I didn't want to forget. When I woke up I knew I had to bring it to life. I call it "Where the Dreams Are."

I love sunsets and animals

My artwork is inspired by the koi fish, which represents strength and motivation. It reminds me to keep going even when life is hard. The calm movement of the fish brings peace and shows me to trust the journey. With faith, I believe God is guiding me. This piece reflects staying strong, growing through challenges, and moving forward with courage.

I love spring picnics and unicorns. It reminds me that the stillness of winter doesn't last forever.

What inspired me is that Rainbows are nice,they make me feel calm, beautiful and I love following them everyday.

I love moods and colors. I wanted to make something beautiful, warm and rich. I hope it makes you feel like time stopped a bit just for you!

My favorite animal is a dolphin. I was inspired by the Artemis II launch that I watched. My picture makes me feel like anything is possible when dolphins fly!

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.

I LOVE to paint. What inspired this art was how much I like making rainbows, hearts, and sunsets so why not put them together.

Hi! I made a silly, sweet dog who rules his cozy home like a king. I love animals, so I gave him big eyes and floppy ears and built him a happy little world with books, plants, and a comfy bed. It makes me feel warm, playful, and proud—like I’m right there hanging out with him!

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!

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

Hi I am Eric, I painted a story about a angry cat chasing a small golden mouse. The cat's anger is like the thunder and lightning, they strike toward the mouse. The mouse is scared but also brave, it doges the strikes and will reach to it's home. Inside the cave, there is a TNT prepared, if the cat follows, it will be trapped.

I love animals, especially my lamb Daisy. Spending time with her has helped me notice how playful and full of personality lambs can be. Watching Daisy run, jump, and explore inspired me to imagine a story where she could jump right out of a book and into the real world. Creating this piece made me feel happy and proud. It reminds me of the joy I feel when I spend time with Daisy. I hope people who see my artwork feel the same sense of fun, imagination, and love for animals that inspired me.

My name is Emmelyn and my out school teacher inspired me to paint this piece. I love fall and going outside drinking my hot cocoa. This piece reminds me of being at my grandmas house in the fall and all of the beautiful changing leaves. It makes me feel calm and helps me remember them.

My drawing is titled “Time.” It shows a watch my father received from his father and later gave to me. The watch is special because it has been passed down through my family. It reminds me of the strong connection between my grandfather, my dad, and me. When I see it, I think about the special moments we have shared. The watch makes me feel proud and more mature, and it represents our family tradition and the memories we will carry for generations.

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 came up with this piece on my own. I saw him in my head and I knew how I wanted Kai to look. I created him for an online role playing class. I drew him with one of his antlers broken because when I first introduced Kai he had run into a wall out of confusion. I call this piece “Liquid Prayers” because words cannot always relay how you feel, and sometimes you just got to let the tears fall and let people see that you feel. When I look at kai in this piece I feel like giving him a big hug.

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!!

I'm Zuwena, and I really like old cartoons. I made this piece inspired by one of my favorites, Mysterious Mose, because it got into the public domain recently. Also I just wanted to depict how loving and being loved in return chases away all negative and mean things people might say about you.

My name is Lucy C and I love all things dragons, mystical and magical. My art piece is inspired by what I think a dragon’s ocean cave home would look like. Imagining dragons and ocean environments makes me feel excited and inspired.

My name is Tristen. I love drawing animals and vehicles. In this drawing I used a lot of green, my favorite color, to make a father and son chameleon.

My art piece was made in Procreate and I was inspired by nature, especially flowers and vines. Vines are all about growth, climbing with determination and strength. When they bloom, it is being reborn into something new and lush, so I put that thought into how I designed the artwork.

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 nature and many animals. I painted this owl because I have always liked owls and wanted to paint one myself to show and share with others. This painting makes me feel brave!

Drawing is my favorite thing to do. It is relaxing. I wanted this picture to be perfect so I did a lot of drafts before I got it right. My favorite part of this picture is the sky. I used different layers of color.

I love reading and I love drawing, its fun to get lost in both sometimes.

This piece was inspired by a nature walk that I took with my family. I used real sticks, tree bark, and leaves that I found in the woods to show how beautiful the forest is. I also showed a lot of animals because I love seeing them in the woods--except the bear! Looking at my art reminds me how peaceful and quiet I feel in the forest. I want to be a conservationist when I grow up so I can help all kids enjoy nature.

This was my first render

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

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

Limitless is an art piece of a beautiful beach with a sunset, no stops, and horizon till the end to show no limits. My inspiration was that many of my days have been spent at the beach; and when I meditated, I would go there in my mind. I love the memories of sand castles and swimming in the waves. The sunset at the beach is beautiful, and it shows a day of fun was had.

I love to draw. It makes me happy and is relaxing. I love colorful things and my piece shows this with lots of color. I feel like a real artist when I look at my pieces.

When I was younger I didn’t like any sports to play in my free time. Then I discovered my passion. Drawing. Soon I later learned that the pen and paper was my power. Every artwork I make makes me feel proud and want to continue my art journey. From what began as a stickman evolved into an artwork that made people happy. :)

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'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.

This piece was inspired by my oc Valkyrie. She is kind of a neutral evil type of character who gets annoyed easily. I wanted to draw her angry as I have drawn her happy a lot so I wanted to try something new. I made this piece using watercolors and paint pens. Thank you for reading!

My piece is a hand-illustrated Macbeth spellbook inspired by Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Created on Procreate and developed into an animation, it reimagines the play from the perspective of the Weird Sisters. I began using Procreate during COVID-19, shaping my digital style and technique. Each page reflects Macbeth’s shift from honor to moral decline, using symbolism such as blood and animal imagery to show his loss of humanity and the lasting consequences of ambition.

I want to be an anime artist/animater. I like this character

My name is Emma Im 12 years old and I love drawing with charcoal pencils. I drew this piece because I love how while the heart is beating, flowers come out. it is beating creation. It makes me feel happy cause I love flowers.

I love drawing and 3D art because I like creating things with my hands and imagination. This piece is a macaw that I made after learning about birds. I was inspired by how colorful and beautiful they are. I used oil pastels and watercolor to make different textures and bright colors especially on the feathers and the background. This artwork makes me feel like anything is possible. A macaw can fly wherever it wants and I think our imagination can fly too, just like a macaw.

I wanted to make realistic eyes that pop and feel glossy.

I've attached 4 pieces of art that my daughter created, two abstract paintings of colors and two animal pieces, one of a fish and the other of a panda.

I am 9 years old and I love art. I love to draw and paint with water colors. My sister loves Harry Potter and my teacher suggested I try to make it. I am proud of my painting. It makes me happy to paint and see other peoples reactions.

My name is Carter. I love to draw; it has been my favorite thing to do since I was two years old. I really love lions and big cats, so I decided to draw one. I don't just love drawing them but learning about them to! It makes me feel like I want to be with a lion. I hope that you enjoy my drawing as much as I do!!! Vote for meeee!!!!!

I enjoyed creating The Man in the Turban. This beautiful person of color has so much emotion in his eyes. I wanted to capture it! Experimenting with texture in the jewelry, wrinkles, and turban challenged me, in a fun way! They required time and concentration to get just right. I’m enjoying using new tools like high-quality “artist” pencils. And finally, my Outschool teacher, Ms. Kristy, makes drawing super amazing and fun.

My name is Alexander, I am 11 years old, I really like to draw and color. I like the fairy tale "Cinderella", and just wanted to draw Cinderalla how I see her. I was really enjoying making that picture and realy like how it came out. Thank you so much for considering my picture.

I like dragons. The picture makes me feel like I’m looking at a fire dragon eye.

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.

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 made this art piece for a homework assignment. It is inspired by the painting "Surprised!" by Rousseau. I love dragons, and so I remade my own version to include them. This art piece, "The Roar of Thunder" changes the focus from the main ground to the background, revealing two dragons. It shows that there is more than one way to make beautiful art.

Hello! My name is Jayson and I’m fascinated my tragedy and comedy masks and jesters (both of which were my inspiration). A jester, something thought of to be joyful, using a mask used to display a set emotion on a stage with no crowd. The mask being used to hide something that the circus does not want the audience to know. Being controlled by string, unable to do anything with his own will using the mask to hide it all. Sometimes our life’s are like that, we try to hide how we really feel.

This is a fiber arts piece I made using fabric I inherited from my Great Grandmother after she passed away. I am inspired by my Great Grandmother's legacy as an artist to create works, try new things, and make mistakes. I chose to make a sunrise since it symbolizes new beginnings and the ability to try again. The sunrise reminds me that even if I mess up, there will be another day, another chance to improve, practice, and make something beautiful!

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. I see the plants flowing, and I hear the wind gently brush in my ear. In this artwork, I make sure I include everything about what I feel about nature and how it inspires me.

I’m 7 years old and love to draw. I do a weekly art class on outschool and draw everyday. I chose to draw a fox because I think they’re cute and cool.

My name is Sebi and I love penguins. I invented a world where there's a team of Ninja Penguins that save other animals and defeat evil bad guys. In this painting they're celebrating after saving all the other penguins that were captured by Evil Richard and put in a zoo. They're all free now and the Ninja Penguins are having tea! Ninja Kick KaPow!

Hello! I was inspired to create this piece because ever since I could remember I've always had a love for sunsets and sunrises they remind me of God's beautiful creation and how every morning and evening he paints the sky with vibrant colors, it fills my heart with joy knowing he creates his masterpieces just for you and me.

I love to be creative. I love to draw. If I could draw and watercolor I would! its my life :) I enjoy my weekly Watercolor class.

I was re-creating my old art

My name is Evan, I'm 11. Eyes are interesting to draw, each one is different, even on the same person. I imagined what these eyes have seen while they watched the world and hope I caught something true in them.

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.

When You stand in an art museum you get Immersed in cultures, feelings, and different time periods. When l look at an art piece l get to feel something from the artist perspective. I think it’s amazing to see peoples dreams, get brought to life on a canvas. That’s my Favorite part of the art museum. I love drawing. The moment when my pencil touches the paper I have the freedom to create whatever I want and to truly express myself.

My name is Jane, I’ve been drawing my whole life and is my favorite thing to do. I created this drawing because I was hungry for chocolate pudding. I thought it would be fun to draw a cat made of pudding. The drawing makes me feel proud of myself because it was one of my favorite drawings I’ve done.

I enjoy exploring the outdoors, climbing trees, writing stories and drawing mystical pictures. I got my inspiration from a chapter in one of my stories I have written. Where the mother dragon leaves her babies in the protection of the tree of life. When she needs to go defend her territory. When I look at my picture I am proud of myself for bring my imagination to life and being able to hold it in my hands.

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.

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:]

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 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.

This piece I drew, Ecosystem of Our community, shows our community, the world, and how it works together to form the perfect ecosystem, where plants grow, animals live, and we work together. ( O _ O )

This is an acrylic painting of my dog, Rocket. He’s an Australian cattle dog. We adopted him in 2021 when he was eight and a half weeks old. He is kind of grumpy but I love him.

Drawing can capture every element, emotion, and feeling that cannot be expressed by words. This piece was inspired by space, which I find both mysterious and exciting. This painting gives me the excitement of exploring new worlds, and I like to think about what exists beyond Earth. It makes me ecstatic and hopeful, and the dreams that begin in our imagination can truly become our future. Do you ever wonder about what exists apart from what our very own eyes can see?

I'm inspired by game art

I painted this picture after taking watercolor classes from my teach Caitlin on Outschool. I painted over it and then added some salt which dried on the painting.

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

For me to do my best, I need to be in the flow state which requires solitude and a sense of calm. My inspiration comes from the idea of having my own space above the world, where I can feel safe and secure. The airship is a place where I can recharge, think and just exist without pressure. From up there, the world seems more manageable, and I can see things more clearly. This sense of quiet and comfort inspires me and shapes my work.

My name is Lucy, I enjoy being creative, and I play guitar. My piece was inspired by Frida Kahlo. Frida inspired my piece because of her resilience through the physical trauma she experienced and how she broke cultural and gender norms. My piece makes me feel a sense of confidence because of the effort I put into it.
