Katsushika Hokusai is a Japanese Artist and Printmaker and is famous for creating the piece The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Our Year 7 and 8 artists were asked to research around the topic gaining inspiration for their own wave based on British culture. Here are some more of the wonderful research pages, studies and pieces in the style of Hokusai from the week commencing 8th June. The outcomes were well informed, eye catching and in some cases very humorous. Well done to all of our artists! Mrs E BirdA celebration of Year 7 and 8 Artwork
