Description
In March 2020, Mark Kistler received a call that his son's school was going virtual for the remainder of the school year. He began holding daily livestreams, leading half-hour drawing sessions for what became hundreds of thousands of kids over two months, giving families a much-needed break from the chaos of the pandemic.
Now, Mark brings these stress-relieving, creative outlets to life in 25 original lessons, including:
- Space Kitty!
- Dino Ride
- Parachuting Penguin
- Singing Shark
- Ninja Banana
- and more!
Harnessing the life-inspiring and transformative power of the visual arts, Half Hour of Pencil Power brings together parents, educators, and the kids they care for with step-by-step drawing lessons, all of which can be done in a half hour or less. Drawing will help your kid have fun, decrease loneliness, build self-esteem, and increase creativity. Pencil Power is accessible, imaginative, and oodles of fun for everyone.
"Mark Kistler has created a series of wonderful, rewarding and easy (even for me) drawing activities that can help children, teens, and families connect to their inner selves as well as to each other."
--from the Foreword by Jeffrey Bernstein, PhD, author of 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child
