Olympic Rings

As everyone seen this olympic poster? From BBC News :RRachel Whiteread, was the first woman to win the prestigious Turner Prize 1993. Best known for her sculpture, she created this piece using the five Olympic colours. The rings represent the famous Olympic rings, but also marks left by drinking bottles or glasses. Organisers said the stains act as "memories of a social gathering".

Is it just the elementary art teacher in me, or did everyone else already think that they had seen this before, as a Kindergarten project? Toilet paper stamping, right? Still, totally doing this as soon as school starts, will "tie it" to the olympic art!

  1. Totally agree!! I hadn't seen it before (the Olympic poster) but yes have done TP printing & bottle cap printing that look just like that.

  2. I assumed it was a stamping art lesson inspired by the olympics! I do like the visual.
