Questions: Hokusai creates drama in The Great Wave off Kanagawa by manipulating the colors of the foreground and background. the scale of Mount Fuji. the repeating lines of the waves. the proportion of the figures in the boat.

The answer is the repeating lines of the waves.

While color can contribute to the overall mood and impact of an artwork, in "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," the drama is more significantly created through other elements. The use of color is not the primary method Hokusai uses to create drama in this particular piece.

Mount Fuji is depicted in the background and is relatively small compared to the waves, which emphasizes the power and size of the waves. However, the scale of Mount Fuji itself is not the primary element used to create drama.

Hokusai creates drama through the dynamic and powerful depiction of the waves, particularly through the use of repeating lines. These lines create a sense of movement and energy, capturing the viewer's attention and conveying the immense power of nature.

The figures in the boat are small and almost overwhelmed by the waves, which adds to the sense of drama. However, the primary dramatic effect is achieved through the depiction of the waves themselves.
