Olympic Painting

Tomorrow is the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics, and we can’t wait.  I was inspired by these beautiful pictures of the unveiling of Official Olympic and Paralympic Posters For London 2012 Olympic Games.  I fell in love the painting done by artist Rachel Whiteread, and it is something that my kids can totally do.  We gathered a few circles from around the house and got to work on our own Olympic Painting.

I love that she took all five of the Olympic ring colors and combined them in an abstract way to create this really cool print!

I love how they turned out, and they had lots of fun stamping the circles.
