Amongst the Waves in Fourth Grade

My 4th Graders did a great job with The Great Wave.  They really enjoyed mixing paint and making tints of the blues and the greens.  The kids really do like using acrylic paint.  They know that it is big stuff.

Directions:

We watched the video below and learned a little about Hokusai.

Then, we watched the video below to get an idea on how to outline the wave and fill in with acrylic paint.

I provided the kids with a copy of Hokusai's Wave to use as a reference.

They drew.

They painted.

They went back over with sharpie to define the waves.

Have a l👀k-

Good project for 4th grade.  Give it a whirl!
