Y5 Art: Exploring 'The Great Wave' by Hokusai

Back to News
28th Nov 2025

This week in Art with Mrs Raynes, we learned about the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai lived a long time ago and loved to paint pictures of nature, especially the sea and mountains. We looked at his most famous work, The Great Wave, which shows a huge wave towering over boats, and thought about how he made it look so powerful and exciting. We then created our own Hokusai-inspired pieces.
