The Summer Olympics and Paralympics may be over, but our enjoyment of them has not stopped yet! 6th, 7th, and 8th graders used the Olympics as inspiration for three movement-themed art projects.
Sixth Grade: Abstract Olympic Rings
Sixth grade students drew the intertwining Olympic rings. Next, they used overlapping lines to create sections of abstract shapes and painted the shapes with watercolors.
Seventh Grade: Summer Olympic Sports
7th grade students drew silhouettes of athletes performing a summer Olympic sport. Then, they painted tints using one color and white to create different values, giving an effect of motion.
Eighth Grade: Op Art
8th graders drew white silhouettes of Olympic athletes in motion, then drew curving lines in the background to create an Op Art effect. They used a chosen color scheme to suggest movement.
