Berthe Morisot is preparing for a soiree, an evening gathering, and she explains to Mati and Dada that Impressionist painters paint the impression of what they see. Their paintings are colourful and energetic, capturing fleeting moments and changing light. Her painting ‘Woman and Child in a Garden’ shows sun, shade, and wind. ‘Young Woman Knitting’ is full of energy and movement and ‘Portrait of a Young Lady’ uses dashes of paint to show light on her dress.
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.
