The Great Wave
The Year 5 & 6 students created these Great Wave paintings. This is one of my favourite units for the senior students! They looked at Japanese artist, Katsushika Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ woodblock print. They identified and analysed the dominant art elements and principles present in Hokusai’s famous artwork, and discussed how they were effective. The students produced two Great Wave paintings of their own. For the first artwork, the students were required to keep one element the same from Hokusai’s Great Wave artwork, and then add in an entirely new element or concept. For the second painting the students used the subject matter and compositing of Hokusai’s Great Wave artwork. They then used iPads to research various art styles and movements, applying them to their own artwork. Some popular choices were Pop Art and Impressionism.
