Pictograms!
In art, we share our ideas with pictures, or images. "Talking" with images instead of words makes it easy for people from many different parts of the world to understand what we say, even if we all speak a different language. Because it's easy for people who speak different langauges to understand pictures, the organizers of the Olympics use special pictures, called "pictograms", to tell everyone about the different sport activities. Have a look at some of the pictograms at these links, and then try coming up with your own!
