After viewing this artwork above we created our own newspaper olympic silhouettes. The first step was to create a background using strips of paper cut into zig zags or curves. Using the strips we layered them onto of one another to fill the page and used water colour paint to create a contrasting background for our silhouettes.
To create the silhouettes we trawled through tonnes of newspapers to find olympians in action that would work for our artwork. After carefully cutting the images out, we were able to turn them over and paste them onto our backgrounds. To make the silhouettes stand out, we outlined them in black marker. We're very pleased with how they turned out.
