Document Summary
Name: quick lesson in simplified drawing, part one. Hokusai compositions have much to do with their strong internal structure. This includes mountains with triangle shapes and human figures with underlying geometric structure. This work below came from his woodkblock printed book quick lessons in simplified. Instructs students to conceptualize forms of life to simple geometric shapes. Includes numerous examples of figures broken down into simplified geometric shapes to aid visual comprehension, showing that hokusai indeed envisioned images explicitly in geometric terms. Name: the amida falls in the far reaches of the kisokaido road from the series a tour of waterfalls in various provinces. Material: woodblock print, ink and color on paper. Hokusai adjusted the perspective to create a rippling effect at the circular opening. The opening from which the water gushes is irregular in shape. Convenient ledge to the left with the two men enjoying a picnic prepared by their servant seems to be hokusai invention.
