When Dada is magically doubled by a mirror, Mati, Dada and Dada 2 are whisked off to the Netherlands where they meet painter Jan Vermeer. He plans his paintings carefully, choosing a subject that interests him, and using angles and light to lead to centre of interest. In ‘The Music Lesson’ a young lady is standing at a virginal, a musical instrument with a keyboard; her elbow is the most brightly lit and the mirror reflecting her face adds to her importance. The mystery is that the mirror image reflects things that are not in the room, which makes the viewer think about the painting.

Seven-year old Mati is a cheerful girl with a wild imagination and a zesty passion for art. Along with her eccentric sidekick Dada, she’s magically transported into the lives of the greatest artists in history.

Together, these two friends go on exciting adventures with the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Hand in hand, they travel throughout time and art, solving mysteries and sometimes getting into trouble ~ all the while learning from the Masters themselves.

This wonderful animated series is a fun and imaginative introduction to art for budding artists everywhere!

Also available in French.
