With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I drew the phoenix on the canvas, as I drew it with paint but it still turned out quite nice.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was drawing the phoenix. Drawing a phoenix with paint is really hard as the brush was not thin enough and I have to be quick to erase my mistakes or it will be on the canvas  permanently.

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

I have. I was able to do the EDM without many problems and was able to visualise what I wanted my art piece to look like.

to develop a solution that is well developed to substantial detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Peoples’ tastes changing over time (e.g. classical, jazz, etc)

Different periods (baroque, classical, romantic)

Technology’s evolution brings about music’s evolution (from CD to DVD, itunes to Soundcloud, new inventions like synthesizers and such)

Composing: A pop song!

What is a pop song?

What is the instrumentation of a pop band?

Why do people nowadays mostly like pop music?

What makes pop music what it is?

Lyrics are quite literal (content); relatable; lyrics and subject matter discussed are relevant

Use of acoustic instruments like guitars

Heavy bass (electric guitar, drums)

Electronic mixing and autotune

Sound effects

I have also learnt that I can modify the recipe slightly and not follow it strictly to make it healthier or more suited to my taste. I also learnt that onions smell really good when it is fried.

Cupcakes have a lot of fats because if the butter and sugar added into them. The cupcakes will be healthier if one adds less butter into the cupcakes butter is fats and should be eaten in smaller quantities.
Experiment: How the amount of butter (fats) added into the cupcakes affect the texture of the cupcakes?
Answer: The texture of the cupcakes that have less butter in it is drier than that of the one with the normal amount of butter.
Picture below: The one on the left is the one with the normal amount of butter.
I prefer the one with the normal amount of butter as I like my cupcakes moist and the one with less butter was too dry.
3 Ways to make the cupcakes healthier is
1) Reduce the amount of sugar in the cupcakes
2) Reduce the amount of butter in the cupcakes
3) Do not put cocoa powder in the cupcakes.
