Nightmares. It was inspired by stories of mythical creatures, the galaxy, and most importantly the mind and its dreams. My artwork symbolizes the mind as a wall with sticky notes for ideas and thoughts and cracks, vines, venom and eyes are for my worries and fears. With colored pencils and time, I was able to make what you see now.

What’s worse than hundreds of eyes staring back at you? These eyes belong to hundreds of faces. In what may appear welcoming at first, this artwork features a twist of scopophobia (the fear of being watched) and thalassophobia (the fear of large or intense bodies of water). This multimedia piece features digital art and Photoshop, all with pictures taken by the artist.

Cars are Fun
Digital Art
Bell Creek Academy
Hillsborough County
Art Teacher: Richard Runas
Grade 8

I was inspired by a friend of mine and her fascination with cars. She loves everything about them: the mechanics, the models, the history. I find cars interesting because of the psychology behind them. Supposedly, cars’ “facial features” are not accidental. These “faces” are to make these giant machines seem more inviting and friendly. So, I put a human face on a car. The product is very off-putting, and very fitting for this prompt. Place this abomination in a colorful void filled with skeletons and watchful eyes, and you’ve got a scene straight out of a fever dream.

Family Dinner
Collage
Bell Creek Academy
Hillsborough County
Art Teacher: Richard Runas
Grade 7

The art piece I’m entering is a collage of a family dinner. This piece represents having a conversation with people who do not understand you and your beliefs or interests, and generally feeling out of place. The food represents excuses to interact with people, and a way to avoid conversation. The silverware is stuck in a room of conversation and excuses, where it’d rather just keep quiet. Alas, the silverware never speaks its own mind because it fears its opinions will be judged by the people around it.

Grade 8

There were a multitude thoughts and ideas speeding through my mind before creating this. I find it important to note that I wanted to showcase the importance of our eight-legged friends. Spiders are one of the most overlooked and underappreciated organisms on the planet. They do so many notable and honorable things for our ecosystem and yet they are the second most stepped on.

What inspired me was that, when I finished the base of my artwork, I thought that it looked like monsters. Some elements of my artwork connected with the Fantastic because most of it was made up of monsters, and I believe some people are interested in monsters.

Retro Fear
Digital Art
Dr. Mona Jain Middle School
Manatee County
Art Teacher: Katelyn Reyes
Grade 7

Retro Fear was completed throughout five days and was inspired by the genre of analog horror, though not any specific video in particular. This piece was created by emulating movie posters to represent overly complex emotions. I wanted to explore fears through color and by using a glitch effect with these colors. My intention was to make viewers feel uneasy.

Chromatic Mantis
Colored Pencil
Dr. Mona Jain Middle School
Manatee County
Art Teacher: Denise Mueller
Grade 8

Inspired by the contortions of my brows striving for presentability. The grotesque head mirrors my brain’s volcano, ever on the brink of eruption. Its visage is borrowed from “A Bug’s Life,” echoing my dread of mere existence. Bugs, those murky cleaners, dodge inquiry, their consciousness a puzzle even to themselves. My creation is a caricature of my future self, a clownish figure with bulging eyes amid surreal juxtapositions like a magical eight-ball in a vibrant tiled wall.

Mahi Patel
The Night Watcher
Digital Art
Florida Virtual School
Nassau County
Art Teacher: Trevis Williams
Grade 6

Inspired by spooky night skies and eerie movies, I created this mysterious artwork. The creature, with its glowing eyes and wiggly tentacles, seems to emerge from the dark forest under the moonlight. It’s a blend of fantasy and horror, inviting viewers into a realm where reality blurs with imagination. The moon and stars add to the mystical atmosphere, connecting my work to the Fantastic.

Cat in a Cozy Cabin
AI Prompt Generated Digital Art
FLVS
Orange County
Art Teacher: Lisa Pearce
Grade 6

I was inspired by my love of cats and cooking, so I made a realistic cat cooking a fish in a cozy cabin. I responded to the theme by imagining something I would like to see in real life; this is a fantasy theme because cats can’t cook. Also, did you know that cats can’t taste sweetness, are lactose intolerant, and that tuna is really bad for them?

Under the Ocean on Planet Trigon
Digital Art
FLVS
Orange County
Art Teacher: Amanda Crossley
Grade 6

I was inspired by the ocean and the planets. I made an underwater alien riding a motorcycle away from his carrot house because two little worms kicked him out. I used my imagination to think of all the things that I put in the artwork. All of it connects with the Fantastic because you might see worms living in a carrot house with an alien riding a motorcycle on a different planet.

Futakuchi-Onna
Painting
FLVS
Orange County
Art Teacher: Karen Sanchez
Grade 6

I was inspired immediately with my final theme, a Japanese yokai by the name “Futakuchi-onna.” After some minor brainstorming, I drew a sketch and continued until I was satisfied. The theme “Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic” sounds like a broad prompt. I believe my illustration fits, because wouldn’t you be afraid if you sprouted a mouth on the back of your head?

Art Teacher: Michelle Calapa
Grade 7

What inspired my artwork was the theme “Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic,” and I thought of a mirror because mirror images in an artwork look fascinating. I had never done anything with this theme before, so it took some time before I knew what I wanted to create, but I am very happy with my artwork and the theme. Whenever I see artwork that has a 3D aspect on a 2D paper or in a mirror, I think it’s really cool and fantastic, so I wanted to represent that in my art by making the buildings have that look.

Maria Toledo
The Recurring Future
Mixed Media
Glades Middle School
Miami-Dade County
Art Teacher: Mirena Suarez
Grade 8

My artwork is about a girl going through a time where everything happens repeatedly. The fish represent other people that cannot save themselves and they are trying to help her. At her feet is a portal and she has wings on her back to remind her she can fly from this reoccurring future. The girl is trying to save herself repeatedly and trying to change her future, hence the title, The Reoccurring Future.

Amanda Valdes
Unrequited Love
Digital Collage
Hammocks Middle School
Miami-Dade County
Art Teacher: Katherine Martinez
Grade 8

While creating this art piece, I put together the first thing that came to mind; this is a technique called automatism. Automatism is where you create art without conscious thought, accessing material from the unconscious mind as part of the creative process. Unrequited Love depicts the intricate dance of emotions through symbolism. The hand reaching out signifies longing; the butterfly represents the cycle of life; the eye symbolizes observation and introspection; and the vintage letter hints at the passage of time and lost communication. This combination creates a poignant narrative of unreciprocated love, captured in a single frame of art.

Madison Acosta
A Whole New World
Digital Collage
Hammocks Middle School
Miami-Dade County
Art Teacher: Katherine Martinez
Grade 8

My piece is called A Whole New World. My inspiration was the boundless creativity and uninhibited imagination found in children’s minds. This piece is a digital collage. My process was not difficult because I knew what I wanted to include from the beginning. What I find unique about my piece is how it looks like you’re entering an entirely different universe full of mythical creatures. I make art to bring myself, as well as others, joy. I love making art because it allows me to express myself in ways words can’t. It lets me be free to create and show how I truly feel.

Gianna Andrushyn
Oh Days
Digital Art
Highland Oaks Middle School
Miami-Dade County
Art Teacher: Anna Weiss
Grade 7

I created this artwork because I have a lot of fears of the fantastic, as said in the theme, Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic. I see the Fantastic as having unlimited possibilities, and those possibilities having something horrible hidden inside. The thing covering the person’s eyes means that the person is not able to focus on the good things, only bad. It means that people ignore the good things they have, and only focus on what is bothering them. My plan for this artwork was to incorporate a lot of meaning, but also including a lot of color and overlaying to add more depth.

Wilson the Space Cat
Digital Art
Hill Gustat Middle School
Highlands County
Art Teacher: Megan Ekenstedt
Grade 7

Wilson the Space Cat invites viewers on an interstellar journey where imagination meets reality. Through vibrant colors and bold imagery, this piece challenges perceptions of scale and perspective, prompting reflection on humanity’s place in the universe. As the Earth fractures, Wilson stands as a symbol of resilience and companionship amidst chaos, reminding us of the enduring bond between humans and animals. This artwork serves as a visual metaphor for the fragility of our planet and the power of connection in times of upheaval. I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation, inviting viewers to ponder the mysteries of existence and our role in shaping the world around us.

Jewett Middle Academy Magnet
Polk County
Art Teacher: Caitlin Friedenstein
Grade 7

I created my art from my fear of the ocean and creepy squids. My reference for the chaotic ocean is from the famous Japanese painting, The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. The emotions I was trying to show for the artwork were chaotic and creepy. My goal was to create something that possesses a lot of meaning and color. The artwork I made did help me reach my goal.

Art Teacher: Elfi Garcia
Grade 8

This piece was inspired by a project where we researched superstitions in foreign countries, Chile inspired this piece. This artwork explores Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic, incorporating the disorienting and demonic feel. The longer you look, the stranger and more “dreamlike” the piece becomes. Surrounded by light and dark clouds with jellyfish littering the page, each aspect of this piece has a story to tell. The surrealist techniques used were levitation, dislocation and transformation.

Art Teacher: Becky Lancer
Grade 8

I wanted to imagine a reality in which the customary roles of animals and humans were switched, with the animals setting destruction on the human world. The work is meant to provoke thought about the effects humans have on nature. The drawing puts the monochromatic urban buildings against a backdrop of sunsets imbued with exaggerated, almost nuclear hues. Along with the brightly colored butterflies, this shows the stark contrast between the animal and human world.

An Endless Dream
Watercolor
Paul W Bell Middle School
Miami-Dade County
Art Teacher: Lisa Oberlander
Grade 7

An Endless Dream demonstrates a dreamy, fantasy-like setting which is inspired by settings and plots I’ve seen only in my imagination and dreams. I added things I appreciate like butterflies, the night sky, and trees, joining everything into a way that looks surreal and dreamy. It connects with the Fantastic as it’s not something that would first come to mind when you think of the word “ordinary.” It’s more like “odd,” yet surrealistically dreamlike. It represents the beautiful scenarios in some dreams, yet the fear that you are not on Earth anymore and are stuck in the…endless dream.

Grade 7

I sketched this out just using a regular pencil. From my original sketch, I used Prismacolor pencils to create a background. After finishing the background, I colored the lowest snake green. It did not look appealing, so I changed it into black instead. This piece symbolizes that something that may upset you or anger you at the time may be for the better, as well as vice versa.

Grade 8

For my artwork, I used Prismacolor pencils for the instruments and the ground. For the sky, l used soft pastels to give it more contrast. The man made of instruments represents his love for music of all kinds. The reason I used pencils was to get closer to the smaller details.

I drew this using Prismacolor pencils, and the fish in this drawing represent all the unknown creatures under the depths of the water. This is surreal because of the upside-down coral reefs and odd fish with luscious hair.

Gabriel Garcia
Nosey Flower
Watercolor, Colored Pencils, Pen
Rowlett Middle Academy
Manatee County
Art Teacher: Brittany Braniger
Grade 6

I created a yellow flower with creepy eyes and spiky thorns. Holding the flower with thorns would be uncomfortable and can make the hands bleed. I also want the viewer to look inside the flower as if the sides of the petals are wilting and brown. Some of the worms are infected and have weird bumps on them as they come out of the flower. I created it with colored pencils, metallic Posca markers, metallic watercolor and Prismacolor pencils. The way it shows the theme of Fears and Fascinations of the Fantastic is because it includes eyes, spiky thorns and creepy infected worms, which can be visuals of fears.

Art Teacher: Xonia Regalado
Grade 6

My art piece, Unnatural Order of Things, can be interpreted as multiple things. There wasn’t a meaning at first; I was drawing for fun and drawing from the mind. Now, for my inspiration, I guess you could say that a little horror game I played with my friend inspired me as we discussed fears and fascinations.

Eating with My Eyes
Watercolor and Marker on Watercolor Paper
South Miami K-8 Center

Art Teacher: Xonia Regalado
Grade 6

My artwork, Eating with My Eyes, represents that we as humans can never see how much harm junk food does to us. This donut shows how our body sees harmful food in the stomach and traveling in our body while our health is struggling. I thought this exhibit’s name fit perfectly with what I could do, and I thought it was fun. I wanted to show a common food turned into a nightmare. The people in my painting with no eyes on the sides show that all of us are blind to our favorite foods, no matter the side effects.

Red Stained Paws
Colored Pencil on Paper
Trinity Christian School
Palm Beach County
Art Teacher: Rose Westley
Grade 7

I was inspired to incorporate the detail of elephant legs in Salvador Dalí’s painting, The Elephants, because they reminded me of spiders. I connected my fear of spiders, my fascination with their legs and the fantastic into one puzzle. Red stained paws is the name so that your imagination can decide what the fox’s paws are stained by. Unusually named, disorienting landscape, and the irrational thought that things are floating all show the fantastic.

Wedgefield School

Art Teacher: Ellen Kramer
Grade 8

When creating this art piece, I wanted to tie into the idea that anything is possible and relate it to the phrase, “you never know what’s behind closed doors.” I did this by using the sets of doors entering into different worlds, both good and bad. I placed these worlds into an empty desert because I liked that it placed an extra emphasis on the different sceneries within the doors. To me, this artwork represents curiosity, the many wonders of life, and how different paths can lead you to different adventures.

I was inspired to create this artwork by thinking about how people have different personalities inside, when on the outside they act like completely different people. I used the theme to show what inspired me by creating a spiral showing different sides. I used the surreal technique of levitation to make it stand out.

Marvin’s Eater is an illustration of a story made with these little characters.  The worm woman is rushing into a small cavern outside in the backyard.  The three boys are fleeing but unfortunately, Marvin, the butterfly boy in the center, gets eaten, hence the name.

This piece is very personal to me. Death is not the end, but a new beginning. Like the life cycle of the butterfly, our body and soul return to the beginning of the cycle when we die. Our body nourishes all forms of life, and our souls become one of the many creatures that feast upon it. I show this dream-like world from the eyes of a bug, representing Dali’s fear and fascination of bugs, and my own as well. A line of ants reaching out for the stopwatch represents how humanity clings to time. The Latin phrase on the stopwatch, “Tempus Edax Rerum,” means “Time, destroyer of things,” representing the irrelevance of time after death. Dalí’s melting clock symbolizes the unimportance of time to the natural world. I showcase the butterfly life cycle to show the transformation of life and my art. I use a monochromatic color scheme to represent how everything is connected. To represent the subject’s darkness, I opted for dramatic moonlight. I also used an unexpected medium—eyeshadow. It adds sheen and shimmer to specific areas I wanted to highlight.
