As part of their geography unit on mountains, Prep V have looked at the artist Katsushika Hokusai, whose most iconic and recognisable piece was probably The Great Wave off Kanagawa,  an illustration of a crashing wave, three boats, and the peak of Mount Fuji in the distance.  This piece was part of his series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which Prep V have been using as a basis for their own Hokusai collages.  Using magazine pieces, the children have sketched their Hokusai versions onto paper and are in the process of using the magazine pieces to colour their drawings.  It’s a messy process, and it’s not finished yet, but we are looking forward to seeing the final product.  Watch this space!
