Art Appreciation Points of Discussion

Excerpted from How Artists See The Weather by Colleen Carroll.

Wind: A Gust of Wind at Ejiri, by Katsushika Hokusai.

In this picture, people huddle against the wind's powerful force and struggle to hold on to their belongings.

Do you think they're in danger?

Do you think she'll ever get them back? Where you do think they'll finally land?
