Renowned cartoonist Nicole Hollander—famed for her Sylvia strip—will be teaching a graphic-novel class at the Lillstreet Art Center, 4401 N. Ravenswood Ave.

The classes will take place Oct. 22, Oct. 29 and Nov. 5, 1-5 p.m.

Students will join Hollander in her studio for a three-day intensive workshop exploring the art of storytelling. Participating artists will choose a significant moment from their lives and put them together with images to create their personal stories. Students will draw on influences from cave paintings to stick figures, and comic books to graphic novels.

The class fee is $220 for Lillstreet members and $225 for non-members. See www.lillstreet.com/class/6814.
