Your DESEF Dollars at Work
|
DESEF recently sponsored an assembly with an internationally known speaker, thinking-skills consultant, author, and cartoonist, Jon Pearson.
His fast-paced, high-energy program blended: drawing, dramatization, and storytelling to transform the often frustrating drawing process into a unique, interactive learning technique.
Through drawing, Jon believes students can learn faster and retain information longer. Also realizing that drawing doesn’t come easily to everyone, Jon emphasized that even if we make a mistake it can be a masterpiece. Weaving his “I can do anything” message throughout the program, students left the assembly excited and motivated to find their inner artist.
Thanks to DESEF for funding this assembly!
