The Mihrima Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, was designed by the architect Sinan and the exterior colours change as the sun moves through the day. Arches in the walls support the dome. Inside the windows in the dome let in a great deal of light and the walls also change colour as the sun moves. A mosque is where Muslims go to pray. Mati and Dada discover how things can be different outside and inside, like a geode.
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.
