Answer: Waves in their natural form, are not necessarily art, however Katsushika Hokusai has captured the fierceness of the waves and the glory of the ocean by painting a frozen image of a large wave just before it is about to crash down on the sea below. The artist used proportion to show the large wave as most prominent, displaying its power over the waves below. The artist created balance for the large wave on the left, by creating height in the sky, which is more likely clouds on the right. The white caps are emphasized by the artist's use of contrast between their light, and the darkness of rest of the sea. This makes the white caps appear claw-like, reaching out for the sea below with intention and strength. The artist's main inspiration was nature, specifically the sea.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!

The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai is a painting of waves. This is how the painter represented the wave, connecting to what Quintilian said that art is different from nature because this is how an artist sees the nature and not nature itself. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

Free BRAINLIEST for best poem about anything NO JOKE ON GOD
N76 [4]

Answer:

Whose the ocean is that? I think I know.

Its owner is quite happy though.

Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,

I watch him laugh. I cry hello.

He gives his the ocean a shake,

And laughs until her belly aches.

The only other sound's the break,

Of distant waves and birds awake.

The the ocean is beautiful, shining and deep,

But he has promises to keep,

After cake and lots of sleep.

Sweet dreams come to him cheap.

He rises from his gentle bed,

With thoughts of kittens in his head,

He eats his jam with lots of bread.

Ready for the day ahead.
