Festival of Teaching
Lauren Wilson Bradshaw Primary School, Alice Springs

I had an absolute ball at the Festival of Teaching held this year in Darwin at Palmerston College. I can’t thank Art Educators NT enough for fantastic the opportunity to travel to Darwin this year and attend the festival. The Event was a fantastic day filled with a range of different learning spanning the curriculum as well as two engaging key note speakers.
I attended all four of the Art based workshops. All these workshops were fun, engaging and hands on. Veronica Hodges taught us the art of Gel Printing and how you can make your own gel plates, as well as incorporate a number of different found materials into our printing. Bronwyn Packwood showed us how we can incorporate other curriculum areas, such as history and geography into the art room with her session on fantasy maps. Alison Dowell taught us a new and exciting way to teach drawing portraits for students of all ages -including drawing, collage and mixed media materials. And to finish John Eaton from Oxlades showed us solarfast printing, and we were able to experimenting with a wide range of inks, dyes and mediums.
The event was also a great opportunity for remote art teachers, like me to meet and connect with other art educators in the Territory and be involved in practical art based professional learning. Thank you again Arts Educators NT for the opportunity to attend this event is has been the most valuable Professional development I have attended all year.

This is a fantastic opportunity for teachers to get inside information from Jasmine Jan about what the Territory Wildlife Park has to offer children, art and teachers. AENT members will have free entry to the park. If families or friends want to join, they will need to pay to enjoy the day at their leisure outside of this event. Light refreshments provided. Please bring your own lunch and water – or purchase at the park.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank AENT for supporting me in attending the Festival of Teaching in Darwin. It was a stimulating, informative and enriching experience. I had the opportunity to engage professionally with colleagues and contribute to collegial discussions. The workshops I attended gave me new content and teaching strategies that I will implement in my art classes. These experiences helped to broaden my knowledge of the Visual Arts and gave me new skills to improve my practice. As I live remotely having this opportunity to share and spend time with other art teachers was a rich and rewarding experience.
Thank you
Christine Jaya Regan

I very much appreciate the opportunity to attend the Festival of Teaching and meet with other educators, particularly Art educators.

I have been working in remote NT for 3 years now and have not had the opportunity to engage with educators outside of my school. I found attending the workshops gave me the opportunity to reflect on my practice and also in some instances reassure me that I am doing my best to deliver equal opportunities to and have high expectations for my students.
