I have used Mixed Media to create my artwork titled I Matter Because I spread kindness. Being compassionate & helping others spreads kindness which makes the world more beautiful. Also I matter because I love to create , dream, read and sketch.

I matter because of all the blessings I received in the world. My work relates to the theme because the girl I drew is sitting with her puppy in the middle of a sunset. She was blessed because she received many presents during her life. Like a gift to live, a gift of peace, a gift of a family, and a gift of the world.

This picture represents why I matter. I am artistic, funny, and the only one of me. But more importantly, I am brave and strong.

I Matter Because...should be treated fairly like everyone else, no matter what race, or what gender I am, and even what I believe in. Everyone matters, and we’re all in this together!

I matter because I am different and unique. My art relates to the theme because it shows a dog that is not like others ( brown, black, white dogs) which represents being different .

I matter because I was born. When my mom was giving birth to me she suffered from a lot of pain to get me out. I’m glad that I was born so I can see my parents, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents. I can see, hear, taste and move. I can play with my friends. I can travel to different countries like Japan, China and Canada. That is why I Matter.

The reason I chose to draw the inside of my mind is because I want people to see my mind and why I am important. Things like the hearts flying in the sky represent love and creativity. Some represent how I am special or something like that. The imaginary stuff like the cotton candy clouds represent how my imagination is unique.

We are hurting the earth, and people are too worried about themselves to notice. We don't realize that the earth is a life, (well not really a life) But that doesn't mean the earth, can’t hurt. Racism, pollution, and corona. These are all hurting us and the earth. I am repeating that we are harming the earth over and over again, but that is because no one wants to realize that we are. I made this piece of art to show that I matter because I have the power to make people understand that we are hurting the earth. The true reason is that... I want peace for the earth.

I dip tissues in unique and different ways. I made a rainbow to try to make people happy and to make people feel free I made some squiggly lines in the background and colored the shapes.

I matter because I am like a snowflake. No two snowflakes are alike. I am different, unique and proud of it! Together with other snowflakes we can create something beautiful.
