French artist George Seurat shows Mati and Dada the scientific magic of how colors in his paintings are mixed by their eyes just as mixing two paint colours to create a new colour! Seurat shows the children his painting technique of pointillism, using different coloured dots which the viewer’s brain mixes. His large painting ‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte’, took him two years to complete. Viewers of his painting ‘Le Chahut’ feel as if they are in the audience, and Mati notices repeated shapes in the shoelaces, the hanging lamp, the moustaches, the flowers and the dancer’s expression.

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.
