With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
I was very proud when I completed my final project as I felt that I managed to express a social issue through my art very effectively. It expressed my opinions on the issue of depression.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was staying on time as I only had 1h to complete my final project. To overcome this, I got my friends to help me cut out things and also I adapted my design slightly.

What can I do to improve?
I think that I can try to make my artworks have more dimension as currently it is very flat. I could have shaded some parts to make it have more volume. I could also made the sad part of the artwork more obvious as currently the whole thing looks happy.

Voice your experience and feelings (eg. joy of creating..etc) of your creative process?

I was very inquisitive and enjoyed the process of listening to different sounds on garage band and then trying to combine them to create music. I had to try different combinations to see how the sounds complimented each other.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
I was very proud when I submitted my strawberry tart for the practical exam. It showcased how I could manipulate recipes to my own taste, and also my creativity in plating.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I think working with my team mate was quite difficult. Because we are always busy with our own things, communication was minimal. This led to our work area being quite messy, disorganised, and uncoordinated sometimes. For example, when making the lagsane, my team mate started on the white sauce too early because I had not done my meat sauce. This led to her having to wait for me while stirring the sauce for a long time.

What can I do to improve?
I think we can communicate with each other better. Maybe one person can wash the dishes while the other one cleans the table and cooks the food. This way, we will be more organised.

Three things I enjoyed
1) Learning new recipes that I can try out at home to cook for my family
2) Learning the "science" behind the amount of fat and flour in a dough, and how it affects the texture and taste
3) I learnt different methods of cooking such as rubbing in, boiling, baking blind etc.

# data[].attributes.body
3 things I learnt
1) I learnt that working on my own is harder than working in pairs, especially since you have to do one whole dish on your own and also clean up after yourself
2) I learnt that reducing the amount of sugar in the cupcake gives it a good taste as the Oreos I added were very sweet
3) I learnt how to work faster and be more efficient through keeping my work table neat and tidy at any point in time

2 things I can do better
1) I can remember the steps better and think before I do anything. Today, I used the electric mixer to mix in the floor, which is wrong. I was supposed to use a spoon to fold it in. As aa result, the cake mixture was slightly thicker.
2) I can use the correct tools for the right purposes. Today, I used the scraper to mix in the floor, which was not practical. Instead, I should have used a spoon.

1 thing I would like to explain/ find out
1) I want to know if the cakes would still turn out if there were no eggs

❏    In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative skills)

I manipulated the quiche tart crust by adding sugar and egg, so that it is sweetened since it is a dessert. To make it healthier, I reduced the amount of butter in the crust and also added strawberries.

❏    Reflect on the practical test session

❏    Were you able to manage time?
I managed my time well by washing dishes while waiting for the tart to bake. I also cut the strawberries while waiting for the tart to cool down.

❏    Did you face difficulties?  How did you overcome them?

My partner's oven settings were at a higher temperature, so my tart baked faster than expected and became a little too brown. I overcame this by cooking the filling for a shorter period of time.

❏    How would you have done it differently?

I could have blind-baked for a shorter time.

❏    Reflect on the food blogging process
I think it helped me learn about my strengths and my weaknesses, and helped me learn where I can improve on for the next week. For example, I found that last week my tart filling was too soft and runny. After reflecting, I realised that adding egg might help. So, I did that this week.

❏    How useful were the nutritional tools?
I think they helped me understand what were healthy and unhealthy ingredients, and how I could make my food tasty yet healthy at the same time (not too much fat, sugar etc.)

❏    How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?

How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come up with your final creation?

I think they were quite manageable. The investigative activities helped me understand how the ingredients worked together and how much of each ingredient was required. When i tasted the tart last week, I realised that the crust was bland. So, this week I added sugar.

Overall
I think the taste is very good as the custard is sweet, but the strawberry adds a tinge of zest in the dish. I think the crust is a little bit sweet, but besides that the texture is crisp and thin enough. The custard has a good texture as it does not flow out from the tart when cut. I think the dark colour of the plate also brings out the red of the strawberry, and the leaf adds a vibrancy to the dish. The dash of icing sugar also makes the dish more appealing.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Order of work
I think I was quite organised as my table was clean at all times. While waiting for my crust to bake, I cleaned up my table and got started in cutting the strawberries
2) Time management
I think I could improve on my time management because I was lagging behind due to the time spent on cutting the strawberries and decorating my pies. As a result, my partner had to do most of the washing up. I think to improve my time management, I should have worked faster on the dough and also could reduce the time spent checking on the baking of my crust.
3) Presentation
I think my presentation was quite good. It had vibrant colours because of the strawberries and looked quite professional because of the dusted sugar. However, I think more colours could be added so maybe to improve I could have added other fruits like blueberries and kiwi. Also, I could cut the tart up instead of just putting the whole half on the plate.
4) Product
The taste was good as the cream cheese complimented the strawberries well.
However, the crust was too thin and crumbly, and the creamcheese was too watery. To improve, I could make smaller tarts and also put the cheese in the fridge to harden it before filling the tarts.
The tart looked appealing.

My sculpture represents a journey of friendship. The rolls represent fun and laughter, while the holes in the "circle" of friendship represents the imperfections and flaws in a friendship. But despite these flaws, the friendship is still whole because of the bond. There is a slot in the sculpture where the other side of the sculpture can slot in, which represents how the two friends get closer through the years.

# data[].attributes.body
I like my friend's sculpture because it has a lot of texture and movement (it bounces) it also has things on all sides, and it also stands, so it looks good from all angles. Each branch also represents an aspect of a friendship, and they all evoke joy and happiness.

Our artwork is about perspectives. Our artwork has two perspectives, messy and complex or neat.Our group wants to show that there is always two sides to something and that we have to look at different points of views.

Our inspiration for the sharp and neat side is drawn from the crown on the Athena statue. It represents her wit and wisdom. For the other side, we drew inspiration from the Jester hat. It has volume and is messy and unorderly to represent the curious, inquisitive, and free-spirited personality of the Jester. It is bouncy and whimsical, and has a variety of texture of cardboard to show the inquisitive side of the jester. Because of the difference, we highlight the contrast of the personalities.

This artwork is about people hiding behind the screens, potraying only the happy side of their lives on social media. They focus on likes, comments, and what people think of them. However, people may not be as happy as they seem and may have personal problems that they do not tell other people. This leads to them being overwhelmed. and have problems like depression.

Reflections
I have tried to use happy colours on top, but duller colours below to potray the sadness that people may feel even though they say they are okay. I have also used a text message to cover the person's lips as it shows how people hide behind the screens and tell everyone that they are okay, however they are actually not. The shape of the face is like a mask because it shows how people hide.

I think that my friend is trying to potray the difference between her past and present. The skull looks like it is projecting her past memories. These memories are happy, which is why she uses bright and vibrant colours. However, she now does not have time for these fun activities anymore. Instead, it is replaced by studying, which is why newspapers is used as it represents reading.
If my friend could do something differently, I would suggest that she try placing her pictures in a way where they are closer to each other and is a whole. Currently, her pictures are very randomly placed and serves no purpose.
