With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I made bread on my own. The first time I tried making bread dough(with a partner), the dough did not rise sufficiently. But, this time, I succeeded as I increased the amount of yeast added and made the environment warmer. I also managed to manage my time well that session, and I came up with innovative ways to shape the dough. I was proud of myself because I made a product I enjoyed independently, and I had improvement.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was when in my third lesson, I had to try to bake on my own. I had trouble with measuring and organising the ingredients, and trouble with managing my time when I was washing up also. I had much difficulty in organisation and management of time.

Art is in the eye of the beholder.
Different people have different appreciations of beauty.

Art does not have to be in the stereotypical form of aesthetically pleasing things.

THINGS TO NOTE:
8 Studio Habits of Mind:
- develop craft
- engage and persist
- envision
- express
- observe
- reflect
- stretch and explore
- understand art world

To make good art, I can reflect on the world around me and things that I am familiar with(e.g. family, school etc.). With that thought in mind, I can genuinely express myself in any way I feel suitable. I can take inspiration from things that I see that I find intriguing and try to form my own interpretation of them.

I used my pencil at varying degrees of force and made the same patterns, but with different sizes, different pencil force and different parts of the pencil. I used my hands and pencils to blur some parts of the marks. For the activity where I had to draw something elegant and dainty, I tried to think of something that reminded me of the words and I came up with the word swan. Thus, I used connecting lines to form a shape of a swan, but without drawing in features. I drew the swans over each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I drew something that resembled a graph, but expressing my feelings with the various degrees of force I used on my pencil to draw out lines and shades. For example, when I felt that this part of my life was striking and significant, I would make the lines tall, towering above the other lines, and the lines would also be darker, to show that during this period of time, my feelings were intense.

# data[].attributes.body
The group of artists who once practiced this together could not see what the others were doing. Without any influence from the other artists, they just drew what came to their mind in the limited time they had of various body parts. Often, it would not turn out to look like a real body, not even with real body parts, instead it would look more abstract, but in the end it would look like it fit together

1. This is something that looks like a barren land.
2. There are three clocks in the picture.
3. One of the clocks is hanging off tall branches of a tree with no leaves.
4. The sky is various tones of blue and yellow.
5. The floor is ombre.
6. There is a river in the background, with a rocky cove.
7. There are two platforms on the ground, one of which is where the branches are sprouting from.
8. There is an oval-shaped object next to the branches, and it is a dark shade of orange.
9. There are black dots on the object and in my opinion, they resemble ants, or some sort of bug.
10. The clocks seem to be pointing to 1230.
11. One of the clocks is hung over what looks a bit like a white conch shell.

Dear Mom,

I'm in a barren land, all on my own. It's not too cold or hot. I can see some water and a rocky cove from the little camp I've set up on a mirror platform. The sky is always blue, and light shades of gold. I wonder if night will come. There are a lot of bugs here. I wish I brought some repellent. There are three clocks. I wonder who left them here. I have this odd feeling that they're decaying. The bugs seem to like them. They're always hovering around. There's this little orange case. It's shiny and it seems to be where the home of the bugs. There is one tree, just branches, no green. one of the clocks hang over it. I wish it would provide some shade for me when it got a little hot. I would like to venture into the water, but I dont know what lies beyond and sometimes, I hear animal sounds. I hope those animals won't come out. It's getting a bit late and I'll have to dig a hole in the ground to sleep now. Goodbye.
Love,
Jaime

- seamless/naturally joined together -- subject matter, color blend, looks pleasing
- strong juxtaposition of subject matters(nature vs. manmade) and scale
- surprise element that comes when one looks closer -- bizarre
- certain blurred/unclear edges for subject matter -- confusing, mysterious, ambiguous(a certain narrative element -- multiple meanings possible)
- humour

See:
The shape of the popcorn is defined because we outlined the shape after we finished shading the inner parts of the popcorn with willow charcoal.
The popcorn was drawn larger than the paper so it looks like it's expanding beyond the paper.
The texture of the popcorn looks rough.

Think:
The charcoal was applied on the dark parts very aggressively, so the darker part of the popcorn with more shadows has a great contrast with the lighter parts of the popcorn.
The juxtaposition of the shades looks interesting.
The scale makes the popcorn looks very large and imposing, when in reality, the popcorn is only a small thing.
The drawing of the popcorn reminds me of a ribbon.

Wonder:
The drawing could be transformed into a face, with eyeballs and a nose.
I could learn how to make the contrast of shades even more stark and similar to the actual object.
I used observation, expression, reflection and envisioning.

I used to think that art had to be aesthetically pleasing but now I think that something that you feel is jarring to your eyes at first, but you find very interesting and meaningful can also be art.
I used to be unsure about what surrealist artworks were but now I know more about surrealist artworks and the criteria for a good surrealist artwork. I used to not think much about art when I saw it and just look at it on face value(not a very deep and detailed observation) but now I will look at the little details, like texture, or try to see how the brush was moved to form the background.

Saadhana's artwork expresses her woes and her joys in life. Firstly, her canvas is painted in two parts. There is the dark part, which is completely black and represents her worries, anxiety and stress and it is portrayed by a picture of her clutching her hand to her head to show that she is overwhelmed and does not know how to deal with everything, and also some shattered CD pieces, which shows disorder and damage. Then, on the other side, it is painted with many different colours, but most are dull shades, such as the amber, and there are only a few splashes of bright colour that are not bright enough to show the bright and positive feelings like joy and excitement that she wants to portray. Instead of the broken CD shards in messy arrangement, there are CD shards that are pieced together like how they were supposed to be originally. There is also a picture of her face(different parts and sizes) that are pieced together, which may show that she is trying to find her self identity. There is also a picture of herself smiling satisfied at some work she has done. All of this shows that she is expressing her joy through order and fulfilling her expectations and standards. I think that the idea of showing a contrast between the happy and sad parts of her life was done well, especially with the arrangement of CD shards. However, one thing she could have done better in is creating even more contrast by using black and very bright shades of colour(maybe even neon shades) to more vividly show the differences. One other thing I find interesting is her use of random brush strokes on the "bright" side of the painting. She implies that she values order, but the paint strokes are messy and random. Even though her the bright side is supposed to give a feeling of peace and order, the paint strokes say otherwise. Another thing that I like very much about her artwork is that it has a lot of texture, e.g. using saga seeds, cd shards. It makes for an interesting visual and feeling experience. I also find the collaging of the pictures of her face very interesting as although they are all from different angles and magnitudes, when purposefully placed together, you can still identify features of her face. This may imply that she is getting a semi-clear image of her self identity, and she has already started on the path of self discovery and is still continuing.

50g vs. 75g
The 50g cupcake tasted less buttery than the 75g cupcake. The 50g cupcake and 75g cupcake were equally dense and had the same texture.
75g vs. 100g
The 100g cupcakes were softer. They were a darker shade of golden brown. The 100g cupcakes tasted much more buttery.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally prefer the 75g cupcakes as it has just the right amount of butter and just soft enough. The buttery taste of the 100g cupcakes was too overpowering.

For the practical test, I tried to reduce the amount of butter used and change the type of butter and milk used so as to make the recipe healthier. For manipulative skills, I tried making my own sauce for the salmon. I was able to manage my time. I faced difficulties with the potatoes as I did not use the right type, and the ratio of the milk mixture to the potatoes was unbalanced. I removed some of the milk mixture after a while to make the potatoes less watery, even though the potatoes did turn out quite wet, and not sticky. I would have chosen the right type of potatoes, and made sure the size of the potatoes were correct, and also try to make my own dressing for the salad. The nutritional tools were very useful and I learnt about the different types of meals, and balanced meals, and how to adapt recipes. The manipulative skills, such as making flour mixtures were quite manageable for me after some practice. I got to practice and experiment with ingredients, and found out about different ways to adapt recipes so that they could become healthier.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I completed my GarageBand composition because before, I was not confident in using GarageBand, but through small steps and consulting my friends and teachers, I learnt how to use different parts of GarageBand, including the inbuilt keyboard where I came up with my own melody. I also felt that I managed to show my creativity through coming up with my own lyrics based on my theme.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was the choreography as I was unfamiliar with dance and the song's tempo was very fast. We had to come up with dance movements in a very short time and also try to synchronise ourselves. It was tough to express ourselves as we all had different interpretations of the music. However, in the end, it was still an enjoyable process because we managed to discuss and brainstorm many possible dance moves, even coming up with our own. In the end, we formed an interesting choreography according to the music, and even though we felt that we could have kept up with the tempo better, we still felt achieved as we had come up with our own choreography and were creative in our expression.
