The History Behind the Symbols
The iconic circular symbol was originally designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom for the British nuclear disarmament movement. By the late 1960s, it became a universal emblem for the counterculture movement in the United States. Our groovy peace sign designs capture this era with thick, flowing lines and natural elements like mushrooms and rainbows.
The two-finger gesture, originally a victory sign during World War II, was adopted by the hippie generation as a simple, everyday greeting of goodwill and unity at music festivals and protests.
Coloring Retro 1960s Art
When working on these pages, you can experiment with the bright, contrasting color palettes typical of psychedelic art and vintage concert posters. Warm tones like mustard yellow, burnt orange, and avocado green give a genuine 1970s feel to the backgrounds.
For the retro hand signs, try using gel pens or fine-tip markers to fill in the small daisies, bracelets, and intricate doodles. If you are coloring the hippie scenes, blending colored pencils works well for the sunsets, clouds, and the curved bodies of the vintage camper vans.
Ways to Use These Printables
These sheets work well for middle school history lessons covering the 1960s civil rights and anti-war movements. They also serve as relaxing activities for adults who enjoy nostalgic line art and detailed bubble lettering. Teachers and parents can use these printables in several ways:
- Print the patterned symbols on heavy cardstock to make your own retro wall art or binder covers.
- Use the camper and acoustic guitar scenes for summer camp craft sessions or road trip activities.
- Keep a stack of the simpler floral hand gestures in a classroom art corner for early finishers.
