Wouldn't it just! Such delicacy - in itself and on treading the line along the edge of sentimentality

'Ні everyone ☺️👋 I’m raising money for charity by selling prints and cards of my artwork. They look exactly like my paintings! If you have a chance to look that would mean a lot, every card really makes a difference ❤️

The six characteristics of a successful leader Young people have clear views about what makes a good role model and leader - politicians would do well to listen to them.

@peterhyman.bsky.social Great and encouraging post re young people's views on leadership here. Did they have anything to say re student leaders? peterhyman21.substack.com/p/the-six-ch...

Yes, it's almost a Somme salient comparison. He was very affected by WW1

Rather than an idea, it’s a compulsive requirement and more a stamina for looking that is acquired, like discipline needed to practice piano lessons.

Looking hard instills curiosity, and a persistence to understand more, while developing endurance to look longer.

A very positive feedback loop.

Developing a craft skill such as drawing gives confidence to communicating ideas, very useful later in life.

Sometimes a sketch can convey much more than words, or in a foreign country bridge two languages, such as when briefing a French builder on a project.

So sad!

Is the mysterious bit something to do with the contrast between the elevated silhouette of the buildings and the trees etc?

What a fabulous idea! I know a school that immersed pupils in art and uses it as a key to unlock learning across the curriculum. I will share this with them. But they probably know. I am probably just catching up!

Oh dear. Not going anywhere near US on principle for now.

Where is this astonishingly lovely picture

The shapes and spaces in between say so much. Then comes the colour . Finally the power of these women. Never seen anything quite like it. Thank you!

Since the election almost all the vote movement has been within these blocs rather than between them. The centre/left bloc vote is rising because a lot of Lab24 voters who had been saying "don't know" are now saying "Green".

It makes me think that trying to paint portraits might help us all with sibling relationships. It might help us see our sisters and brothers as independent beings; something he communicates so vividly.

Oh what a disappointment! Maybe it was focussing so hard on one thing, art, that blinded him to humanity and morality. I was quite blown away by all the Degas in The Burrell collection on a recent visit. Previously I had not focused because of a vague disquiet; I thought it was about voyeurism?

The lack of furniture makes the fire crackle...

It’s not without problems for Norway.

It wouldn’t be without big consequences here.

But I find it wild that wealth taxes are straight-off treated as impossibilities whereas expelling immigrants and leaving the ECHR is seen as totally doable, when the evidence is the other way around.

True. But also odd - feeding the very young human is anything but still!

Yes - and grace. The gestures are exquisite, individually and in relation to each other!

Very sorry to hear about this although I enjoyed the reflections and analysis. Kidney stones are v painful. Hope all is resolved soon.

That's why it's perfect. Painted until it was fully alive.

Almost shockingly so.

Such vulnerability overlaying implied force

Very unusual to see the land so much shadowed by the sky....

This is a really excellent post, even by the normal Freedman high standards. The timeline of September meetings and events is particularly interesting.

The Trusts with All Through schools often, but not always, get this. And the reverse also. The power of cross hatching skills, knowledge and perceptions cross phase is extraordinary. Maria Montessori got there first...

In an ideal world, I'd argue that all secondary teachers should spend at least one week per year in a primary setting.

Are there any schools or Trusts out there who get close to this?

Does anyone have a strong argument against it?

Magical! You can hear and smell the lighter

Fascinating! Such jarring - the TV is soooo ugly!
