Children's Author & Illustrator 
Kelly Light 
to Lead FREE Workshop 
at the Center!
Kelly Light is the author and illustrator of the picture book Louise Loves Art.  It is a story about the importance of creativity in all its forms. Louise loves art more than anything; it's her imagination on the outside. She is determined to create a masterpiece-her pi�ce de r�sistance! 

Create your own pi�ce de r�sistance on Sunday, March 8 from 3 to 5 PM as author and illustrator Kelly Light leads a one-day only workshop at the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, 3321 Hyland Ave., Suite A, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. 

 

Admission is free and open to the public, but reservations are a must

 

Call 949-669-7793 x 20107 or email Sasha@ChuckJonesCenter.org for more information and to RSVP. This program is appropriate for ages 7 to 12. 

 

Kelly will talk about the connections between cartoons and children's books. How she used what she learned in animation to write and create characters that may be still on the page, but alive to the reader.  How acting with your pencil can put personality into your drawings.  

 

Together, doing drawing exercises with character prompts, the children can create a character of their own and a short story board to start them on their own creative journey. 

 

Kelly Light also loves art, especially cartoons. Growing up she loved watching cartoons and drawing cartoon characters. She went off to art school determined to start a career in animation which lead to working as a character artist for cartoon licensing. She spent a very long time drawing some of the most beloved cartoon characters, including the characters created by her favorite artist of all time, Chuck Jones.  

 

It was a chance meeting with Mr. Jones that sparked the desire to create her characters. Years later, Louise was created and published and is now a seven book series that hopes to inspire kids to be creative and pick up their own pencils and draw out their imaginations. 

 

Louise Loves Art will be available for sale that day and Ms. Light has agreed to sign copies purchased at the Center.

About Us
The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in 1999 by the four-time Academy Award-recipient, legendary director and creator Chuck Jones. The Center is located in Orange County, California at South Coast Collection, just north of the 405 at Harbor Boulevard. 
 
The Center's vision is a world where creativity is known and experienced in every discipline, by the many, not just the few. 

In today's world, when arts education is practically non-existent, this is an important goal; we are dedicated to reinvigorating the creative spirit and we are doing it through art classes, exhibitions, lectures, and film festivals, all of which spring from the material in the Chuck Jones archive. Jones was a determined saver and his writings, art, and other ephemera from a nine-decade life along with his philosophy of guiding and nurturing instruction form the basis of our programs.
