I explore one way of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is superficially developed, lacking in detail. I made only one prototype and did not test and/or improve it.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
It was when we finally finished recording our song after so many failed attempts. I had given up by then, but I decided to give it a go a few more times, and then we finally did it.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
We had a problem with the lyrics at first, we couldn't settle on a theme. Finally, we managed to find a suitable theme and lyrics that matched our song's beats and chords.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
When I finished my practical task dish with enough time to wash up. I did not feel rushed. I felt in control and confident of what I was doing, unlike sometimes in lessons where I'll be confused.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I I think creative presentation was my greatest challenge. I had trouble thinking of a way to present my brownies and I actually changed my idea last minute to improvise it. I did not know how to present it in an unique way but I had time to think and managed to present it differently.

I am very bad at art :(
Sort of dreaded art lessons in primary school because it was just about drawing and painting stuff, not very interesting work.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
Finishing my artwork on time despite missing a lesson.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I felt like my artwork was too boring as I am not very good at art.

(1) Do you think you have used contrast well in your work (colours, size, textural qualities) ? Explain.

In terms of colours, I think I have used contrast to a certain extent. The girl's "gold heart" contrasts slightly with her turquoise dress. But in terms of textural qualities or size, I don't think I used contrast.

(2) Describe the way you had used materials in your work.

I only used paint. I didn't want to complicate my artwork.

(3) Do you think you have convey the message of your work well ?

I do think the meaning of my artwork is easy to interpret as it is rather literal with some elements of symbolism. My message was "Don't judge others without knowing about them". I took some inspiration from the proverb "Don't judge a book by its cover". In my artwork, the character's face is covered, signifying that we don't know her personally. Her face is covered by books which another hand is holding. The books have words like "ugly" and "fat" written on them. The hand symbolises society. This is supposed to mean that society is telling us what the character is like, even though we have not seen her and don't know anything about her. The gold heart symbolises the character's kind behaviour. However, we can notice that none of the books tell us that the character is a nice person. This is to show that society isn't always right and we should not jump to conclusions based on what we hear of a person.

(4) Is there any part of your work that you think you had done well ? Explain.

I don't think I did any part really well but I guess my message was something that is understandable and even relatable for some people.

Tuna quiche and peach crumble
I learnt that communication between partners is important as I accidentally messed up my dish. However, I was able to recover as my partner helped me do my dish while I did her dish as she was better the rubbing the flour while I rolled the pastry dough. I was very happy with the final dishes as we managed to finish within time and they tasted really good!

Cupcakes
1. My teacher's cupcakes are healthier as they contain less fat and sugar. In terms of appearance, since we used cocoa powder, hers looks golden brown while ours looks dark brown. In terms of texture, hers is softer while ours is firmer. In terms of taste, ours tastes like cocoa powder while hers tastes buttery.
2. I prefer my teacher's as I feel like ours is more cocoa-y than I like and the cocoa makes the cupcake slightly bitter. The taste is also delicious even though she used less sugar and fat. Moreover, hers was softer than ours.
3.  One: Use less fat and sugar.
Two: Add fruits.
Three: Don't use cocoa powder.

Reflection questions
1. I made it healthier than the recipe that was given by using lesser butter and sugar [used brown sugar]. I added fruit sauce [strawberry sauce] and diced almond nuts.
2. I was able to manage time effectively. I finished my brownies and strawberry sauce with time left to plate and wash up.
3. I did not face any major obstacles that hindered my cooking process.
4. I would have steamed the brownies instead of baking them. I could also use different sauces [e.g. raspberry sauce] or try a different recipe [e.g. black bean brownies].
5. They helped me create balanced dishes and made me more aware of the nutrients each dish had.
6. All of them were manageable.
7. I was able to use the knowledge I had gained to add to the given recipe and make it healthier.
