Now, one of the winners of last year's competition won when she was an 8th grader at Thurman White Academy of the Performing Arts.

She's now a 9th grader at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, or LVA.

In our art spotlight, we are introducing you to this brilliant young artist.

(Antonella Sanchez) The theme was Earth Day, and I created an inspiration of my neighborhood.

It was a stray dog, but it was really colorful because it had to represent the gardens around my neighborhood.

They're so beautiful.

-This beautiful and colorful design created by artist Antonella Sanchez.

-Like seeing it first person all the way, like, down on the ground, like, up big, it's like, wow, that is humongous.

And my art is on there.

Like, wow!

-It's definitely the wow factor when you walk into Ms.

Mabel's Visual Design class at Las Vegas Academy of the Arts.

(Ms.

Mabel) It's phenomenal like everybody's working here.

-Seeing firsthand the phenomenal art being created by Antonella... -I use white charcoal to blend instead of my blending stone.

-...and all of these talented art students, it is easy to see why Antonella won.

-This art community here is really accepting.

They're really friendly.

This is like the healthiest environment I've been in.

Like, they support each other.

We're not in a competition.

-And you can say Antonella is pretty popular for a wickedly good reason.

-You guys want to share a little bit about your experiences at the Sphere?

-Her fellow art students were also invited to experience the Wizard of Oz at Sphere.

For many of the more than 4,500 CCSD students who attended the special screening, like Antonella, this was their first time seeing the classic film.

-What was your favorite part?

-I would say my favorite part were the apples falling from the sky.

And I think that was a very magical moment.

-So many magical moments and important life lessons.

-In the end they reached their goal as kind of how in real life you get opportunities and then you'll eventually reach your goal.

-As for goals when it comes to her art, and just like the inspiration for her XO Student Design Challenge winning art, for Antonella, there really is no place like home.

-I want to make murals on walls, like make the place more beautiful and colorful, because like where I live, it's kind of like no art.

Like over here in downtown, there's a lot of art.

But I don't want to add on to art here.

I want to start art somewhere else and then expand from there.

-Antonella, I look forward to checking out your murals when they go up in your neighborhood.

So very talented.
