For this workshop, UCCA has invited children’s literature authors Guo Xiaohan and Yang Silu to share their unique way of making illustrations, combining collage, clay, Photoshop, drawing, and other media. In their book Big Events, the authors use words and pictures to depict all the little things in their lives, things too small to be noticed by adults yet are magnified in the eyes of a child. In this activity, kids will use different materials to depict their own “big events.”
