The Great Wave
Today we looked at the work of a Japanese artist, Hokusai, who spent his whole life sketching, painting and drawing.Hokusai is famous for his collection called “36 views of Mt Fuji”.
This wood block print is called:
The Great Wave Off Kanagawa
From “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”; 1823-29 (140 Kb); Color woodcut, 10 x 15 in; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York© Mark Harden www.artchive.com
We used the thinking routine called “See, Think, Wonder”.
Here are some examples MrsP wrote down at the start of the lesson:
“I see the volcano.
I think it has erupted.
I wonder if that’s what caused the tsunami.” Moustapha
“I see the wave towering over the boat.
I think it looks like a monster.
I wonder if it’s angry at the people.” Sokeina
Please leave your thoughts in the comments using this thinking routine:
I see……
I think ……
I wonder ……..
Bonjour! and Gidday!
