KINDERGARTEN

Japanese Amulets
In his prints, Hokusai gives equal space to the majesty of nature and human labor, often highlighting the perfect balance between them. Farmers, often depicted in their seasonal activities, harvesting the fruits of the earth, are a common subject. The kindness of the seasons was essential for a good harvest.
After observing people at work in Hokusai’s prints, children will create a good luck charm.

PRIMARY SCHOOL (FIRST CYCLE)

Printing with Hokusai
In his long career, Hokusai was an excellent painter and a skilled engraver, having begun his apprenticeship by approaching this technique.
After a visit to the exhibition to discover Hokusai’s most iconic works, the children will experiment with alternative printing techniques to create a Japanese landscape.

PRIMARY SCHOOL (SECOND CYCLE)

A Manga Lesson
Hokusai was a prolific artist who spanned various genres and subjects: from landscapes to legendary figures and actors. One of his distinctive collections is the Manga volumes, a compendium of images depicting the world around him.
After exploring his diverse body of work in the exhibition, the children will create a collective comic strip.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Drawing with Writing
Hokusai was not only an experimenter of techniques and subjects but also an innovator in constructing images using unusual methods. In the exhibition, students will observe the Japanese master’s varied production.
In the workshop, they will work with the Japanese alphabet to create pictographic compositions.

MIDDLE SCHOOL / HIGH SCHOOL

Guides for an Hour: Inside Hokusai’s Works
Approaching art happens through creating a direct dialogue between the student and the artwork. With the guidance of an expert, the students will learn how to interpret a piece, eventually becoming critics and guides themselves, giving new meaning to the exhibited works.
The class will be divided into small groups, each focusing on one piece, organizing research and analysis of the compositional structures of visual language. In the end, the students will switch roles, becoming guides and sharing the information they’ve learned with their peers.

HIGH SCHOOL

Thoughts on Line
Throughout his career, Hokusai meticulously worked towards the perfection of the line, where “even just a dot or a line will have its own life.”
This passionate pursuit was present in his graphic projects as well as his paintings, which he continued to refine until his death.
After examining the distinctive works displayed in the exhibition, the students will experiment with a traditional painting technique to create a composition inspired by a key Japanese word.
