There are six interactive pieces of art. Some we can’t record due to licensing commitments and guidelines, but we assure you that it’s well worth the purchase to view those as well.

Meet the Developers!
Lara and Debora, co-founders of Lapisly: We create art interactive picture books (book apps) to bring masterworks from famous artists to life! ExplorArt Klee is our first book app, dedicated to the art of Paul Klee, the Swiss-German master and his dreamlike work.
What was the initial inspiration for your app?
We had the intuition that the tablet could really allow, for the first time, to jump into the mind of an artist and bring his art to life! Famous art pieces can come alive, becoming enchanted animated scenes that children can explore inspired by their own free imagination and creativity. The tablet can indeed become a magic tool that accompanies children in the exploration of art!
What is your favorite aspect of your app?
I personally love the oneiric atmosphere of “Dream Town”, one of the six interactive versions of significant Klee’s works: everything there, from the motion to the music (wonderful original acoustic music) is kind of cuddling and relaxing and encourages children to linger and explore!
Also, Klee was a great musician (violinist) therefore some of his art pieces are dedicated to music: in this app they become visual musical instruments themselves!
But there are fun aspects too: for example, kids can have great fun playing with the interactive puppet theater and they can get to know the laughter masters, the fun puppets that Klee created for his son out of recycled materials!
Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Everything in this app has been created with love and with a handcrafted approach: every single illustration is hand-drawn and animated frame-by-frame, the music has been composed getting inspiration from Klee’s work and the entire story has been written to allow kids to understand the world of Paul Klee in a simple and intuitive way. Our app favors discovery over instruction and invites kids to just tap the screen and create their own experiences. Children can really let their imagination fly high on the wings of creativity!
