P5/6 Hokusai Art – The Great Wave

Today we listened to a story called “The Great Wave” by Veronique Massenot.  The story was based on a painting called   The Great Wave off Kanazawa by Katsushika Hokusai

We then  used black pen to create our own  line drawing based on the book and artwork.

In the foreground  we drew  the wave and Mount Fuji in the background.

We then experimentaed with colours by  mixing  paints and then used a  hot and cold colour palette to create our own versions of Hokusai’s  “The Great Wave”.

We are very proud of our finished work, based on our topic “Natural Disasters”
