group performance review:

tone/ melodic accuracy: 3

tempo: 3

rhythm: 2

dynamics: 3

blend/ balance: 3

creative process:

idea generation: we decided on the number of chord progressions and tried to come up with a melody that would suit the chords

collaborative processes: we had to work together to produce a harmonious sound

self reflection:

I have improved on familiarising myself with the sounds different keys on the keyboard/ piano makes

I have also improved on cooperating with others as this task required us to play the piano with our friends as left-hand and right-hand simultaneously .

1. There are sudden loud sounds hence there are red "explosions" around
2. There is a part where the melody is very soothing and gentle hence the red curly line at the top
3. There was also a part where the pitch of the music kept going higher and lower like a mountain, hence there are mountains in my doodle
4. Toward the end of the piece, a melody that was very loud and scary repeated several times, hence there are many repeated fires at the bottom of my doodle.

My final product- mac and cheese went smoothly. I had shredded the cheeses beforehand the day before. During the making process, I. managed to control my time well and since I had prepared everything I needed int he initial 15min, I did not have to panic in the middle of making the dish. I enjoyed making this dish as it is a dish that was not too challenging for me, and it was also nice to make a dish that I personally like. I also had the experience of having to have my own counter, meaning that I had to be responsible for the cleaning up of the counter, the washing and returning of the dishes and utensils and so on. Perhaps the difficulty that I faced was trying to get the cheese sauce out of the bowls as it was sticky and I could not wash the bowls directly in the sink, in order not to clog up the sink. One area that I could have worked on was presentation; I should have used the glass tray instead of the metal one.

1. Mix yeast solution into flour. (yeast + oil + water)
2. Sift the flour to ensure that there are no hard chunks. Knead it until it is smooth. Sprinkle plain flour on table. Fold in from the bottom to make a circular shape.
3. Let it rest for 10 minutes. The dough will rise. Cover the dough with cling wrap for an anaerobic environment for dough to rise more.
4. Knock back the dough and shape it.
5. Add any fillings/ toppings you want.
6. (Must preheat oven before) 200 degree celcius, top and bottom heat.

Sentence 3:

Why I chose this layout:
I chose to put a big picture of myself in the centre to clearly show that my self-identity is the theme of my artwork. The things that I like are smaller and placed all around me to show how they constantly revolve around my life.

What I wrote:
Relationship with my friends and family.
What I said in relation to my structure:
1. Heart shape because I love my family and friends.
2. The frays cut out below make the structure look like a jellyfish. Since jellyfish often look beautiful as a group at aquariums, it portrays the beauty of the love and connection that I have with my friends and family.
3. I cut a slit in one side of the paper so that I could slot some frays from the other side in. That way, I would not need to hold the paper to ensure that the bottom of the heart is fastened together. This also shows that after spending a long time with each other, my family/ friends and I become a part of each other because of the influences we have on each other and our deep-knitted relationship.

I like the fact that the sculpture seems to be of old age/ an archeological artefact, hence it might have much history behind it.  I also feel that the sculpture has another side of cuteness even though it has fully grown body parts of a woman as it is small and short.

Have I grown in expression? Give evidence of your growth, if any.

Yes I have grown in expression. During the music module, I learnt how music is very versatile and can be made to express certain emotions. I have learnt how to express my emotions through rhythm and melody, through making music on physical instruments and on the computer.

Have I grown in project management? Give evidence of your growth, if any.
Yes, I have grown in project management. During the Food and Design module, time was always tight. Apart from having to stay focused to get the job done, we also had to plan in advance on the type of recipes to do according to the time given to us.

Have I grown in creativity? Give evidence of your growth, if any.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
(Eg 2. My proudest moment was when my composition was impactful - it has an emotional effect on the performers and/or the listeners.
Eg 1. I could use my composition for a purpose (such as a phone ringtone) or event (Chinese New Year celebrations).
My proudest moment was when I first formed the first draft of my EDM piece.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
(Eg. The greatest challenge was to be different from other groups as there is temptation to copy others.)
My greatest challenge was to suit my EDM to fit my client's request. EDMs are commonly fast and have strong beats, however my. client wanted background music for a kiss scene in a k-drama, hence it was a challenge for me.

What can I do to improve?
(Eg. To encourage my team members to give their best, and get every member to be fully involved in the group project.)
I can work more efficiently, by focusing on the task more.

I want to improve on time management.

ANALYSIS

Time management:
Speed is a strength, but should have mental prep (imagine yourself in a kitchen) and physical prep (read through receipe). If not, it will be like today, where a lot of time was wasted on referring to receipe.

Presentation:
The was Proficient. Mrs Williamme liked the powder and chocolate chip line, but I should have more contrast, and negative space.
With such a big cookie, I need more cookies to be presented.

Organisation:
Proficient. I need to clear my cooking space, and remember that the trash bowl should not be placed next to the (especially for raw) food I cook.

❏    Compare your cupcakes to the ones made by your teacher (less fat version).  Which cupcakes are healthier?  Why?  (Use Healthy Diet Pyramid & watch the SLS video on Functions of Fats in Food)

Ans: My teacher's one is healthier, as she used less butter and sugar, hence less fat, and, as fat is on the very top of the pyramid (which means it is something our body needs in very low quantities), makes the cupcake healthier than mine.

❏    Which do you prefer? Why?

Ans: I actually prefer my cupcake, as the extra sugar and butter in mine compared to my teacher's made it sweeter, which is a very important part of a cupcake to me.

❏    Show three ways you can make cupcakes healthier.

Ans:
I could use lesser fat (butter),
cut down on sugar used,
and add fresh fruits (such as bananas) instead of sugar, which decreases the amount of sugar even more, and adds to your Fibre and Vitamins.

Creativity:
- I hope to be able to make dishes that are creative in both presentation and taste. I would like to add a little something special to all my food that will compliment the food, while being unique. In terms of presentation, I also want to make my food look aesthetically pleasing, along with looking special.

Project Management:
Since young, I tend to take my own sweet time and dily daly. As such, my time management is usually rather weak. However, this year, I hope to not only have time to accomplish cooking and cleaning, but to also have time to properly arrange and present my food, and not do it in a hurry like I usually do.

Expression:
In presentation, I hope to be able to convey the different styles (classy, children-friendly, casual, artistic) through the way I arrange my food. I noticed I do tend to simply arrange my food in a "classy" manner -- I hope by the end of this year, I can learn to not only try out different ways of "conveying emotions" (in a way?) through food, but to also know when I should use which style of presentation.
