A little boy and a game of hide and seek bring Mati and Dada to the atelier of one of the world’s greatest artists, Pieter Bruegel. Pieter Bruegel the Elder shows them his painting, ‘Children’s Games’, which depicts several hundred children playing many different games. The point of view is high so all the children can be seen. He studied the subjects of his paintings closely to show them accurately, as in ‘Peasant Dance’.
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.
