The famous Fuji Mountain series and the technique of wood-block printing is shown to Mati and Dada by the Japanese artist Hokusai who created art over 200 years ago. In his multicoloured print, ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’, an enormous, powerful wave threatens three boats and frames sacred Mount Fuji in the background. ‘Amida Falls’ shows people seated on a rock’s edge beside both slow-moving and fast-falling water, the beauty and power of nature.

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!
