Third Arts Olympiad Artworks

Commencing in classrooms around the world using a structured lesson plan to introduce our innovative “artist-athlete” ideal of a creative mind and healthy body, the Arts Olympiad is the most prestigious and largest global initiative for 21st century education. The Arts Olympiad is our free program in which any child anywhere on the planet can participate; especially those children who never get the chance to create art unless presented with the Arts Olympiad experience.

More than three million children produced artworks on the Third Arts Olympiad (2005-2008) theme “My Favorite Sport.” Each work was amazing and original. Children served as judges in the selection of many school entries, and national winners for the participating countries and U.S. states were selected by many prominent educators and artists. Some children created digital art as well.

The Arts Olympiad encouraged artistically inclined children to develop their physical abilities and inspired athletically inclined children to be creative. The Arts Olympiad also develops empathy invoked through art and team spirit instilled by sport to promote the Olympic ideals of mutual respect and tolerance. At the World Children's Festival in Washington, DC on June 22-26, 2007, the understanding and trust achieved through personal connections will build and bridge global creative communities.

You can now view the amazing works by children, ages 8 to 12. We present these works to celebrate the phenomenal achievements of our children to encourage you to advance your own creative potential.

The works are arranged alphabetically for individual countries and U.S. states. These are large files and may take a short time to upload.
