How amazing it is having a guide like Apollodorus of Damascus explain the ingenious architecture of the Pantheon he designed 2000 years ago to honour all the gods of Rome! He shows them the columns from Egypt at the shaded north. Inside, sunlight shines through a circular opening at the top of the dome, lighting different parts of the walls as the day progresses. A drain was built to collect the rainwater that fell through the opening.
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.
