Today was really helpful in getting us started with assignments and thinking about inquiry going into internship next week! A lot to process but was broken into helpful chunks and feeling ready to get started. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoy today's lesson, as most activities were well instructed and the time for each was carefully allocated without rush. The pattern clap is a fantastic activity for my future lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Modelling practice is really helpful i.e. doing a strategy and making explicit links to why this is/isn't adaptive teaching.

Perhaps doing whole class anaylsis, guided by you? Sometimes it feels quite repetitive doing activities then moving into expert groups, feels like we don't go deep into activity.

I liked the extended amounts of time we had to discuss and type up our collaborative responses.
In terms of content, I liked that we were able to complete dry runs of our upcoming tasks.

It was great to get to know the people we will be spending Friday's with and our critical friend. Also helpful to have time to get started on and understand the assessments. Thanks Penny!

# data[].attributes.body
It is really helpful to have time to work on our assignments in the tutorial, as prac is quite overwhelming.

The google doc (tables especially) was a bit hectic when everyone is typing at once.

Penny is creating a really lovely environment and I think we all feel comfortable sharing our ideas without worrying about how it will be received.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated the time allocated to apply our class activity to our individual tasks.
I liked that next weeks readings were introduced.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved having a clear structure beforehand ie an outline of the timings and activities we were going to be doing today. I also really loved having a heads up on what we’re doing next week. Please keep doing this!

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you moved us through activities and brought us back together and clarified ideas. Definitely preferred working in smaller groups rather than whole group discussion around key ideas. I liked that you also gave us time to work on our tasks - practical application

# data[].attributes.body
Really enjoyed today, thanks Penny! I liked how you took the time to ensure we are all on the same page and check for understanding on a regular basis. I found the day a bit intense with so much content so the brain breaks (eg. clapping game) were helpful and fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought today was really well paced - even though there was loads of information to take in, the activities and breaks felt doable. I think I will feel better about everything/ more on top of it once I have my first week of Prac done so I'm looking forward to next Friday.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how you worked through the content. I also liked how you gave us time to work on our own tasks so we could apply our understanding straight away.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated that we were able to do some of the assessments during the sessions as we will be strapped for time beginning next week

I wish we had longer breaks!

I love the textures and energy in this artwork - particularly the fur and wood textures are realistic and bold! I like the jewel tones and the slight movement in the subjects hair.

This artwork has been my focus for the past couple as i have been marking year 8 test papers, what caught my interest to focus on this paint with year 8 was the reflective nature of this painting and the movement from cool colours to warmer a colour palette

# data[].attributes.body
I love the movement of this piece, the subtle textures and colours. I love that it could be interpreted in many different ways depending on what the viewer see's. To me it looks like wind moving through a wheat field and reminds me of clouds. It makes me feel calm.

# data[].attributes.body
I learn by making connections between theory and practice. It has been most helpful seeing theory from this course come to life during our placements, and try to back my actions in the classroom with research.

Brooke Boney is a Gamilaroi woman from Muswellbrook, NSW, and the first Indigenous presenter in the history of Australian breakfast television.

Having worked as a political correspondent in the Canberra press gallery and a newsreader for ABC's Triple J, she is now an entertainment reporter on the Nine Network's flagship program Today.

'On the day of the sitting in my studio, Brooke asked if she could bring her pug Jimmy along. I thought that his funny little face would be a great contrast to Brooke's because she is almost too beautiful to paint!' says Sydney-based Laura Jones, a two-time Archibald finalist.

'I wanted to capture Brooke's radiant warmth, but also the high-pressure nature of her job, presenting on live television. She balances the responsibility of representing her community while relating to a broad audience. I decided hot pink would be a great start.

'Brooke sat in a swivel chair near the window. I did a drawing of her on my iPad and worked straight onto the canvas after she left. The painting came easily. The process seemed to mirror the calm confidence of this graceful, important young leader, who is illuminating the path to a bright future for Australia.'

Additionally I need to have connections to what I am learning otherwise it gets forgotten very easily.

This is the fourth time that Richard Lewer has been represented in the Archibald Prize with a portrait of Elizabeth Laverty. 'And I will keep painting her for as long as she'll let me, or until we win!' says Lewer, whose practice has long explored the endurance, consistency and discipline that is required as an artist.

Laverty and her late husband, Sydney pathologist Colin Laverty, built one of Australia's most significant collections of contemporary art, while supporting the Indigenous communities they visited.

'Liz is not just involved in the arts; she has many facets to her life. It is an honour to deepen my understanding of her past, present and future with each passing year. Nowadays, Liz is more vulnerable in many ways than when I first met her, yet she remains vibrant and open. She is well-informed on contemporary issues, socially adept and outward-looking. Liz continues to give back,' says Lewer.

'I have painted her daily morning ritual, sitting at the breakfast table surrounded by newspapers, planning her day in her heavily inscribed diary.'

As part of a major commissioning program to celebrate the opening of the Art Gallery's new building in late 2022, Lewer has created portraits of the many people involved in the construction of the Sydney Modern Project.

Sebastian here. I like Anh Do's portrayal of multiple versions of oneself (with a portrait of Peter Garrett). Reflective of Peter's career as an activist, musician, and politician.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Peter Garrett, lead singer with the band Midnight Oil, is an environmental and social activist and former politician. Anh Do first painted him in 2021 for the ABC-TV show Anh's brush with fame.

'My friend Peter has a remarkable presence about him, at once intense and almost overwhelming, but also gentle and somehow soothing. If he was a Viking chieftain leading you into battle, you would feel comforted, knowing your leader cared deeply about you, while at the same time confident that the guys you're battling will be shaking in their boots,' says Do.

'I wanted to bring the viewer right up close to Peter to fully convey his awesome life force. Whenever I get really close to my wife, I see three versions of her: one with my left eye, one with my right eye, and one in the middle where my vision is focused. So I've painted Peter like this - as if the viewer is almost close enough to kiss him.'

Born in Vietnam, Do is a comedian and author as well as an artist. An Archibald finalist on three previous occasions, he won the 2017 People's Choice with a portrait of actor Jack Charles.
