Explore making animals from shapes with artist Nell Valle! From sketching to final art, we’ll learn how you can make the most expressive characters from unique and fun takes on basic shapes. This workshop is great for participants ages 8-12 who like character art, creativity, and being silly. Learn to see what is possible! Space is limited, so tickets can be picked up on a first come, first served basis at the children’s desk starting at 2:30 PM on the day of the event. An additional session focused on drawing and lettering is available from 4:30-5:30 PM.

Nell is a Chinese-American illustrator based in Boston. She specializes in the big and small: public art and comics. She is known for her cute characters, bright colors, and bold, fun lines. She graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a BFA in illustration and a minor in creative writing. She also has experience in art gallery installation and art instruction.
