To best answer, we need to make sure we know what a compound sentence is. A compound sentence is when you have two independent clauses with its own subject and verb connected by a conjunction or comma of some kind.

With this in mind, you have three compound sentences here.

1. I want to become an artist, so I take drawing classes.

2. Jayden went to the mall, and Bree went to the park.

3. My favorite color is red, but Lia's favorite color is blue.

Each of these happen to be connected by a conjunction and each clause is independent with its own subject and verb, which tells us they are compound.
