With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was seeing the end product of my practical and seeing how well it turned out --looking aesthetic and delicious after weeks of cooking sessions. I was also very glad to be able to complete my pinwheel pizza in time as during the times that I practiced making the pizzas I always exceeded the time limit and I had trouble with the dough.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?

My greatest challenge was trying to think of a way to present my pinwheel pizzas so that they will stand out. I also had quite a dilemma in deciding what dish I wanted to cook as I had many other dish options that I was able to make modifications to make them healthier. During the past cooking lessons, I was always flustered when cooking because I could not remember the steps and was very scared that I would make a mistake, thus I was not efficient in cooking

1) Dadaism taught me that art doesn't have to be nice, it can be weird or nonsensical.
2) Everyone has a different perception of art and how artworks should not be judged based on one's own bias towards art.
3) I can see:
- A dead tree growing out from the wooden box with a single branch sticking out.
- The top half of the tree is chopped off
-A melted silver pocket watch with its hands pointing at 6 and 12 hangs from the branch.
- A pocket watch with golden edge, sliding off the edge of the wooden box, its hands point at 7 and 11, there's a fly resting on it- is it trying to show "time flies"?
- A brown pocket watch without hands or numbers, ants crawl on its surface
- This white thing lies on the ground, it looks a bit like a duck, a towel and part of it also looks like a person's closed eye, with the hair being the eyelashes.
- Another sliver pocket watch lying on the white thing, it looks identical to the one hanging from the tree branch and the hands seem to be pointing at the same number too
- There's a board with a mirror-like surface
- The ground is painted in black and brownish yellow
- There's a clear lake with its water reflecting the cliff
- The water is very still that there's no ripples in it
- There's something under the white thing

# data[].attributes.body
I am stuck in this foreign place with strange objects. There's hardly any sign of life other than this fly and some ants on the pocket watches. This place is so dry, the sun is shining and scorching, there are also illogical shadows on the ground. I'm going to die soon hope you'll find your way of this place. I'm sitting beside a lake with water so clear and still while writing to you. There are stopwatches melting because of the heat but why aren't I getting roasted. There's this creep white fading thing, it looks like a duck and a half a human face I'm so creeped out, someone save me! There's no one here with me, I feel so lonely, miss you...

Surrealists wanted to create artworks through the unconscious part of the mind to unleash the power of the imagination. They believed the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination, weighting it down with taboos and what we normally think something should be.
I think the surrealism artwork that I saw really opened up my imagination and I could imagine what I normally would not think to see and reason against logic.

- The size of the peanut drawing is about a hundred times bigger than it's actual size. It is drawn with charcoal and kneadable eraser. There are different types of lines used to draw the peanut and dark spots can be seen.

- The stokes used to draw the peanut are full of energy and vigour. Smudging is used to give the peanut a base colour and texture. There are light and dark parts of the peanut, forming shadows.

- The big size of the peanut brings out the detailed surface of the peanut shell that we normally wouldn't notice

- 8 studio habits of mind:
1. Observation: learn to draw from the observation of the peanut and not just imagination, which can bring out more details

The Drunken Sailor and Do You Hear the People Sing

# data[].attributes.body
The drunken sailor is meant to motivate the sailors on a ship that is in a storm and might possibly sink, it is lively and repetitive which make it easy to sing when the sailors work and encourage them not to give up. It is in minor key.
Do you hear the people sing is a song meant to inspire others to join in a rebellion and is sung in a march which gives the song a very rhythmic tempo and power. It is in both major and minor key.

I used to think that art was boring and it was just sitting at one place and spending long hours trying to complete an artwork. I also  thought that you can only be good at art if you could draw or paint well.

Now I think art can be fun, we can use a lot of different materials to create an artwork which can even include our hands or hair. I also think that art is not all about forming an actual image but how we want to convey our message, ideas and emotions, it can all just be a splotch of paint but with very deep meaning in it.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this artwork because the choice of colour and techniques used in creating the artwork are very unique. The three wolves in the artwork are very interesting because their facial features were drawn with pencil then outlined with black permanent marker which created a special effect that made the expressions of the wolves more prominent. The wolves have fierce expressions and are also red in colour. Was it to show that the wolves were angry and aggressive? Light-bulb-looking shapes in fainter red are painted on top of each wolf’s head. I find it puzzling because I wonder what the artist was trying to show. They are also drawn in different positions with the middle one closest to the girl huddled in the centre, it’s as if they are coming from different distances and directions. Another thing that makes the wolves intriguing is that they are outlined with white paint and while the background is black, which makes the wolves blaze slightly.

There is a small girl drawn in the middle of the canvas. I find the girl very interesting because she is left in white, unpainted which sparked my curiosity. Even though, the girl is a lot smaller than the wolves, she still seemed to stand our as her whiteness made her glow against the black background. Two large hands are hands are also drawn at the bottom right and left corner and they seemed to be reaching into the veil of darkness, for the girl or to stop the wolves. The artist made good use of scale in the artwork by drawing the objects in different sizes which helped to give contrast and draw attention to each of them. One thing that she could improve on is to blend the black of the background better with the peach coloured hands so that it will not look like as if the hands are sliced by the darkness.

From my interpretation of the artwork, I think that the artist is trying to show a girl being haunted by her inner demons. The three wolves may be representing the inner demons of the girl, her weaknesses, insecurities and bad side of herself, tormenting her and the girl lost and scared in the darkness. The two hands are hands of someone perhaps a family member or her friend, reaching out to protect her from the wolves and giving her reassurance.

the song starts off deep, quiet, slow and mysterious giving the sneaky feel.

The song increases in volume and tone and gets faster.

Feedback:
- the jerky movements matched with the staccato of the music and gave it the mysterious feel
- the gradient in height from low to high and from slow to fast is nicely synced with the music
- there was the with part near the climax with a lot of movement and then just "eyeballing" which creates the tense atmosphere, but the audience may not be able to connect with the sudden cease of action

- Our collaboration was good and we pulled it off successfully, with brainstorming and trying out then discussing and refining
- We listened to each others ideas and everyone contributed.

I think that the music is describing a daily routine of waking up in the early morning when’s its stillness quiet then the sun rises and everyone wakes up, the villages become bustling with activities of buying and selling in the market. I used smooth and flowy lines for the first part and purple tin represent the darkness. When it came to the village part i used various colours and small dots to represent the livelness and variety.

Although there was no definite pitch in the video, it can still be considered music as the sounds are arranged together deliberately. There are different rhythms and change in dynamics. Texture is added when different sounds are included. There is high and low pitch such as metal cutleries clashing and basketball bouncing.

1. The cupcakes made by Mrs Lee are healthier because she used less less butter which are fats. Fats are at the top of the Healthy Diet Pyramid which means that we should use sparingly and as little as possible in our food as eating obesity.

2. I prefer the ones we made ourselves even though they are partially burnt, as our cupcakes are more buttery and moist.

3. We can use no salt butter, replace the cream with yoghurt and add fruits or nuts such as walnut, almond, blueberries and strawberries in the place of chocolate rice.

Manipulative skill
I made pinwheel pizza for my practical assessment. I tried to make the pizza healthy by adding a variety of greens and fruits such as green pepper, tomato, button mushrooms and pineapple. Together with beef as protein, the the pizza bread as carbohydrate, this forms a balanced meal. I used a homemade recipe to marinate the minced beef and added only the appropriate amount of sauce and oil so that the fillings would not turn out to salty or over flavoured which will be unhealthy.

Presentation
I thought that the pinwheel pizzas looked quite like the kind of rolled bread with filings, so I decided to use a bread basket to put my pizzas. As the colour of the pinwheel pizzas was quite similar to that of the basket, I used a doily to set the colour contrast, the doily also added a delicate touch to the entire presentation. a sprig of coriander was added to brighten the whole setting up and make the pizzas look extra fresh. To add in my own signature touch by sticking in toothpick flags. I think what I could have improved on is adding a lesser flour when rolling out the dough as there was I only realised that there was excess flour stuck on the side of the pastry after it was baked and it was too late to try to remove the flour, this also affected the taste of the pizza a little. I could also have added cheese not only on top of the pizza but also in the fillings so that the pizza will have a more "melty" and "oozing" texture when eating.
