| Details | What is slow looking and what are the benefits of engaging in this practice? The Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is widely recognized for a single image, The Great Wave Off the Coast of Kanagawa, that has become an icon of global art. Learn more about Hokusai and his works included in the Freer Gallery of Art collections. Then, practice a slow looking exercise with a work of art by Hokusai as you engage in an interactive lesson plan demonstration led by a Freer and Sackler teacher in virtual residence. Leave the session with new resources and skills you can develop with your students.
