Showcase your kid’s artistic talents!

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

It makes me feel creative and enhance my personality.. thank you all for wonderful platform to showcase my talent

My inspiration is the book “Warriors” by Erin Hunter. I this piece makes me feel proud and happy, because I kept trying to get the eyes right and I didn’t give up.

Hello I'm Eloise. I painted Cat With A Pearl Earring a year ago when I joined an art school near my home. It was my first piece in acrylic and if you couldn't already guess, it was inspired by Girl With A Pearl Earring. I adore cats as I have 2 of my own, but what I love even more is pearls!!!!

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

I love to read and sometimes I wish I could climb up a tree and read.I love birds they are very fascinating and beautiful.I love African elephants and how big they are.I used all these things and put them in a picture.

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!

it's my OC art pace kawaii space mew god Evee goodness family lgbqt

I like to draw. I draw in many different styles. I saw a new art style that was popular on YouTube, so I decided to see if I could do it. I feel some sadness when I look at her.

I'm Kyla, an artist who loves creating characters and diving deep into their stories. The character featured here is one that I love very much, named Lieke. I wanted this drawing to evoke a feeling you have when you're on vacation, strolling the beach at sunset. It may feel melancholy; the setting sun bringing you ever closer to the end of fun times, but it's a beautiful sight that brings you joy nevertheless.

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

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.

My name is Sophie and my picture is from an assignment inspired by a Beatitudes Tree. The colors makes me feel happy!

I’m Hailey and what inspired me to draw this picture was Stray Kids,because I love their music and I just think that they are amazing.💖

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.

I really enjoy every aspect of Japanese art and design, from anime to games. It is a dream of mine to become a professional trading card artist when I grow up. This piece reflects that. It is an illustration of one of my original characters, Noodle Dragon, above miso lake, where I imagine he would live.

My name is Ava. I love taking art classes from Mrs. Lauren and using watercolors. I liked doing this Hidden Tiger piece because it makes me feel like I am in an actual jungle watching a tiger staring at his prey.

Hi, My name is Aubrey. I love drawing and my favorite color is red. What inspires me is all the fascinating stuff nature can do and how it makes me feel. I live where there are 4 seasons and I love that I can experience them all.

This piece symbolizes to keep reaching for your dreams- no matter how alone you feel, keep pushing forward and striving towards your goals.

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

I really like the colours in the sky when the sun goes down. I visited Beijing with my family in the summer and when I looked out the window I saw this. I wanted to paint it. I love painting and drawing.

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.

My name is Eva, I enjoy learning languages and travel. The three matryoshka dolls refer to my sisters who inspired me to be a great, big sister.

I thought it would be really fun to try drawing a dragon eye. I'm very proud of it because I learned how to draw realistic eyes as well as improvise the shape because dragons don't exist in real life.

My name is Matea. I am in 5th grade and live in Minnesota. I am a professional actor and I am bilingual. In addition to acting, I love singing and painting. I think cactuses are a delightful part of nature. We don't have any where I live, so when I get to see them in person, I feel cheerful and terrific.

My name is Andrew. I drew the frog because it looks cool and cute. When I see it, it feels like I have a little pet with me.

I go to the Outschool class "The Original Pokemon Drawing Club" every Monday night. In my class, Teacher Billy gave me the instructions to make Scorbunny. He is my favorite Pokemon, and my artwork makes me feel great!

I learned a lot about the humpback whale and it made me feel happy and calm. I want to share that feeling with others.

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. This mountain lion’s gaze shows the trauma he’s experienced, the loss he has endured, and life he has known. It inspires me to know that even when life is tough, there is always a way out.

This piece of art means something to me. I love that every Monday my family plays games. Some are funny, some need dice. But any game at game night is fun!

I love cats because they are so bossy and royal.

I love to role play. So I'm very excited to get to enter in a drawing of one of my favorite characters. Gene Doe is one of my favorite original characters. He is 5'9, has dyed purple hair (though it is now literally unable to change due to a magical incident), and always has his guard up. This drawing portrays him in a moment of awareness and vulnerability. It's nice to see him get to be embarrassed.

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'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 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.

Hello, my name is Natalie. I like to paint, crochet, draw, and explore nature. This painting was inspired by excitement for spring and warmer weather. It makes me feel happy and hopeful for an exciting year to come!

Hi my name is Shareef. I really love to draw because I get to change whatever I want, however I want. My brother was drawing an axe and that inspired me to draw one. And I’m proud of my drawing.

My name is Ariella and I enjoy drawing both digitally and traditionally. Anime has been a big part of my inspiration and has really reflected in my style (as you can see). The name for this piece comes from the sword Zoro is holding; The Wado Ichimonji. The sword name literally means "straight line through the path of harmony" and holds a great significance in Zoros life. I was inspired to make this piece because I just started watching the One Piece live action series and its totally awesome!

I love drawing even if i'm not great at it. This ballerina is imagining herself on stage dancing for an audience and she's expressing herself with dance. I was in a art class when my teacher said dancers are what we will be drawing and i chose her because of my very own love for dance.

I saw this video about what could happen if a cat in Egypt is harmed because there are laws against it. I thought Egyptian cats were pretty, so I decided to paint one. For some reason, every time I see my painting, I feel impressed.

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

Hello! I am Laelah I'm 11 years old, and a young artist. What inspired me to make this art piece? Well for one I am a Swiftie and I love making art, I thought it would be fun to draw The Life of a Showgirl album and plus Taylor Swift is a good person to look up to. Anyways Laelah out! Thanks for reading ^^

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

The reason I made this piece is my love for Pokemon and I wanted a challenge.

My piece was inspired by my love for Squishmellows. It makes me feel 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…

My name is Melina and I made this on my birthday, this piece shows Amy taking a selfie with Shadow, these characters inspired me to be brave and submit my art, my birthday wish is to win this contest, but to be honest I joined to have fun!

My dogs are the inspiration of this piece. And my dog Lady’s hateful glare.

★ This awesome sauce artwork I made is inspired by peaceful and happy moments in nature. I love how animals can live together in a calm, playful way, like sharing a quiet stream or relaxing in the sun. Nature inspires me because it feels gentle, colorful and full of small, joyful moments. It makes me feel safe and happy. :D No matter what I draw, it almost always connects back to nature through the colors, patterns and peaceful feelings I see :] ★

I am a 12 year middle school student. This piece gave me peaceful. It represents life's journey doesn't have to be challenge, it can be moving forward with ease, clam and purpose.

I have always wanted to be an artist, and animals and designs like the one in my piece have been a major inspiration for me. When I began drawing this piece, it was not meant to be a “big thing”, but as my mind wandered and my hand took over, I found myself carefully layering colors and brushstrokes that I had not ever known I could create. It transcended simply sitting and thinking of what to create, and I know more awaits me in a future where I am inspired to create more extraordinary pieces.

While working on painting an ocean wave, I was inspired by the curl at the tip of the wave. It reminded me of a dragons snout, so I continued painting it until my wave became a complete dragon. Looking at this dragon makes me happy because of how much I love reading about dragons and fantasy.

My name is Luke and I love to build. I hope to build a building one day that makes people feel loved, like how heaven is.

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.

This piece was inspired by my best friend who loves chess, although I know next to nothing about it, he talks about it a-lot and it inspired me to draw this piece and learn a bit more about chess and Bobby Fischer in the process. :)

I just love creating! I created this after one of my classes talked about Picasso.

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.

Hi, I'm Finn and I like making art. This is my first charcoal drawing. I think sharks are cool and that's why I chose a shark to draw. I also like painting and making sculptures.

My name is Gayle, and since I love books and they really inspire me I decided to draw about one to enter it. Books make me feel happy, so I made art that shows a magic book with a unicorn, a dragon and a sun made out of delicious kiwi. Anything can happen in a book, that's why they inspire me!

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!!

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 have always loved outer space, but for longest time I did not like dinosaurs. Two things changed my mind about dinosaurs this last year. 1 - I began playing a video game that taught me all about dinosaurs. 2 - My mom made up bedtime stories for my brothers and I featuring the characters in my drawing. When I look at this picture I feel like I have connected three things that are very special to me, my family, astronomy and my new appreciation for dinosaurs all in one piece of art.

My piece is inspired by Mom. She has loved me through everything and she will continue to inspire me throughout my life. The sun, moon, and star represent how a mother’s love is big enough to fill a universe. The tree and roots represent her steadiness and commitment.

I drew this artwork as a reminder of both downtown Charleston, SC & downtown Augusta, GA. Downtown Charleston has the cobblestone streets and a candy store by the market I would go to buy candy from with my family. The dress I drew in the window reminds me of an alteration shop in downtown Augusta I once visited and saw a beautiful dress in the window of the store. Both places make me feel nice and sweet because I've had great experiences at those places and loved putting them into my artwork.

My name is Everett, I love riding my bike and making boats out of popsicle sticks. My artwork was inspired by the floating cloud kingdom in Ninjago and the elements in the Skandar Smith books

I am Layla, and I love a lot of mascot horror (a media that makes a setting with a mascot scary!) I made this art piece with a character from Indigo Park, which is a game I love a lot! I think Rambley the Racoon, who is the mascot and digital guide character! I decided to draw him to show my love for the game!

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.

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 love the beach and the way palm trees calmly blow in the breeze

This piece shows that anyone and anything can be art and to always be your self. I hope that everyone that sees this piece will be deeply moved and inspired. -NO COPYING-

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!

Hi, my name is Coraline.This piece is a block print.it was inspired by my trips to Paris and Lisbon. I loved watching the pigeons. They are one of my favorite animals because they are intelligent, cute, silly, and most importantly unique.I gave my pigeon a hat to highlight it being so different among birds so i guess this piece was inspired by differences. They are one of the weirdest birds and I think that makes them infinitely more interesting. This print makes me feel playful and happy.

I'm Alex, I enjoy reading, writing, and art, which are all passions Outschool has helped me explore! My piece of art is based on a photo I took of Split Rock Lighthouse on a trip along Lake Superior. I wanted to make a picture out of a good memory, and I feel happy every time I see it!

Hi! I am Leon, I like to make busts of people out of polymer clay because, I like how they show all aspects of the person. I made a bust of Ludwig Van Beethoven. He first inspired me to learn about music, and then he inspired me to start music lessons! I want to be as good of a piano player as Beethoven. He is one of my favorite classical composers of all time!

I am passionate about art and attended many art lessons on Outschool. All these wonderful art teachers helped me to become more confident and to enjoy creating more than ever! - Our family got the long awaited Golden Retriever Rosetta. I was so happy to draw her, am really proud of my drawing. Without all the Outschool lessons I wouldn't have been able to draw her like that! - Outstanding Miss Shannon from "Ready Set Fitness" told me about this Showcase as I had told her how much I enjoy art.

I enjoy making art because it gives me a creative outlet, and I love designing characters. I like how I was able to use realism, and I enjoyed how it turned out.

Hi!! I'm Sheherazade ;D I'm 12 yrs old I absolutely LOVE astronomy and outer space!!!! That's how I got inspired to make this piece. It makes me feel relaxed, at peace, and amazed because how how beautiful it truly is. I know it definitely looks nothing like real space butI hope ya still like it!!

My robot has chicken feet, two robot heads, four arms, and is exploding. I like to draw fun characters.

This was inspired by things I’ve loved since I was a child, like princesses, their large sweeping gowns, and my old music box with a small ballerina. I wanted this to feel nostalgic, magical, and warm. Her appearance is based off myself, her tiara is inspired by the old plastic toy crowns I used to dress up with, and her dress is a fusion of all the different classical dress styles I love.

Hello, my name is Aisha. The artwork I made was created digitally and was inspired by gardens full of flowers and lakes. The scenery is supposed to be very calm and cheerful; however, the focus is also on the marionette. Her expression is very tense, and she seems scared despite her surroundings. This is to create a mood of discomfort, since the scenery is deceptive, because despite how serene the area is, she seems fearful. It makes the viewer inquire why she has a troubled expression.

My name is Leah and I am a 17 year old artist. One of my biggest inspirations has always been my mom, she inspired me to draw and to start working as a graphic designer. Since my mom is an artist, I loved drawing from a young age, and I’m grateful to her for encouraging and helping me improve. My most treasured memories is when my mom read me Russian fairy-tales before bed, so I wanted to capture that moment in my drawing.

I love horses and live in the desert.

I love drawing, especially animals because I'm also an animal lover. Our main thing was a snail in art class, and I made him a suit. My favorite animal is a fox so I drew one. I made the fox's cheeks and the fox and snail were looking at each other and so I made a heart to show they were in love. This picture makes me feel happy, proud, and love.

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 piece was inspired by Dr. Seuss "The Lorax" and by the plaque that the Apollo 11 astronauts left on the Moon, declaring that they had come in peace for all mankind. Both inspired the main idea of the piece: everyone and everything is dependent upon everyone and everything else, and together we can do almost anything. Apollo 11 also gave my piece it's theme: space! I feel like I did a good job, especially on the Moon, and that my piece conveys what it's meant to convey.

My name is Wylder. I want to be a marine biologist and an artist when I grow up, so I like to make artwork of the ocean. I believe that we need to raise awareness about the ocean and its threats and art can do that. In Ocean Sunset I wanted to capture the vivid colors of a sunset and provoke feelings of harmony with nature.

My name is Hunter and I enjoy drawing anime. I have taken anime classes on Outschool over the years. Some of my favorite classes have been Shine: Drawing Club: Drawing Anime Step by Step for New Beginners with Ms. Roxy, Epic Character Art: Premier Sketching With a Pro Artist with Ms. Roxy, and Anime 101-Anime and Manga Drawing for Beginners with Ms. Harriet. The classes have really helped me improve my drawing skills and I am excited to continue on my art journey.

I seriously don’t know why I made this, I was lying in bed and I had a sudden thought about drawing a snake, then I just built on that. Everything below the collarbone on the skeleton is based of a Google image, the rest is from my imagination, hence why the snakes look like gummy worms 🐛. Uhhhh I don’t know what to put…I spent around maybe 6-8 hours on it, during class periods, and I was really scared to color the snakes because it was my first time using shading and blending with color. Tysm!

I love nature and wanted to inspire other people to love nature too because I also love being outdoors. I wanted to do art about it.

The forest is a very peaceful place, and that is why I wanted to draw it. I was inspired by the way the sun shines through the leaves and the quiet sounds of the birds. Making this art made me feel calm and relaxed. I hope my picture makes people feel like they are taking a nice, quiet walk in the woods.

Hello, im Bailey and im an artist of many mediums, digital and traditional. This is a peice inspired by the first campground we hosted at, in central oregon. During our time in said campground, my parents and i watched smoke jumpers practice in the hills behind our site..it was always something we liked, and so i decided that i would draw it! This peice represents the bond i have with my family because of all the times we shared, watching the jumpers.

I admire artists who experiment with color, especially Mary Blair, who uses colors that don't always match real life but make you feel a certain way. In this piece, I transform NYC’s busy gray streets into a dreamlike, storybook scene. My goal is to make an overwhelming place feel playful and magical. Inspired by Blair’s concept art, I highlight NYC’s diversity—a patchwork of cultures and people—using geometric shapes and bright colors to show a unified, vibrant rhythm.

Howdy, I'm Savannah, and I made it! Whoo hoo! Anyways, why this inspired me was because I adore books, dragons, and playing the keyboard. Each one inspires me greatly, so why not put all of them together? This is Daydream Mirage, and maybe one day it won't be so much of a mirage.

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.

Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams!

My piece, Moonlight From Within, is inspired by Columbina from Genshin Impact. I like how she seems calm and peaceful, but also powerful in a quiet way. The broken moon pieces she’s holding represent that the light is part of her. Even if something feels shattered or incomplete, it can still glow and be beautiful. 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.

Hi. I'm Ariella. I'm 7 years old. I used some pieces of cardboard box pieces to scrape the paint to make the shape of an owl.

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.

I love how I can express myself through art and how every artist has their own unique style. My favorite art styles are realistic and anime, and I also like inking and working with color. My piece was inspired by the feeling when you see something beautiful, and how it takes your breath away. I wanted it to look like the golden glow of the star was reflected in her face. The piece reminds me of the feeling of awe.

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.
