These are 3 important things I learnt about Creativity that can be used in my life:

# data[].attributes.body
Creativity: I want to be able to think out of the box and take bold steps towards expanding my imagination and trying out many new things. With better ability to imagine, I will then become more creative and able to create interesting pieces to meet my goals.
Project Management:
I aim to complete all my tasks before the given deadlines, so as to be able to submit my works on time and make final modifications before submission. Managing my projects well will ensure that all my effort will not be wasted and I will be able to be responsible for my artworks. This is, of course, only possible if I treat my art work with importance so as to have the motivation and responsibility to complete them.
Expression:
My goal is to be able to express my own thoughts and feelings regarding an assigned theme through art. This will add a personal touch to my artworks and makes them unique to me and myself only. I can work on expression using colours and textures to enhance my piece of work.

# data[].attributes.body
Creativity:
I hope to be able to explore new areas of cooking and the methods used to cook various food products, and engage my imagination to use creative ways to plate my food items.
Project Management:
I hope to be efficient and on task for the creation of my product and completion of my blogposts.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was, of course, when I was able to complete all my work before the given deadlines. I also ensured that I did my best and put in a lot of effort in my work and in result, I am very happy and satisfied with my end product, my painting on the canvas.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was developing more creativity as it was difficult to suddenly become creative in such a short period of time. However, I overcame this by telling myself that creativity can be incorporated in almost everything I do in art and all that is important is to think outside of the box and not limit myself to the usual few kinds of art. In the end, I discovered that creativity cannot just be achieved overnight, but can be cultivated with constant practice that will encourage the brain juices to flow.

# data[].attributes.body
Creativity:
I plan to make reference to different online sources to source for inspiration, but will not copy wholesale and will brainstorm before deciding on the final design of the product.
Project Management:
I plan to fully plan out my recipe and have more practice before the actual practical, making sure I can manage my time well and create my product of decent standards.

Excellent: I explore various ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is thoroughly developed to rich and fine detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Good: I explore several ways of manipulating the elements

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

Developing: I explore a few ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is partially developed to some detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes at least once.

Needs Improvement:
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.

Blog Post 2 - 26.07.18 (Cupcakes & Cookies)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Compare your cupcakes to the ones made by your teacher (less fat version). Which cupcakes are healthier? Why? (Use the Healthy Diet Pyramid)
- The cupcakes made by my teacher, the less-fat one, was significantly healthier.  She had used less butter (fat) and sugar for her cupcakes and it also tasted less sweet.
2. Which do you prefer? Why?
I personally prefer my teacher's cupcakes more as eating it felt less clogging than eating our own due to the sugar and fat level. Her cupcake was also baked to perfection, having a golden brown shade on the top which made the cupcake slightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Her cupcake was just the right density that a cake should have, while our cupcakes were undercooked and still slightly wet at the centre. Her cupcake was less sweet and I prefer my cupcakes that way too. Her cupcake also melted in my mouth, making it very satisfactory to consume.
3. Show three ways you can make cupcakes healthier.
- We could cut down on the amount of fat used for the batter and icing.
- We could add fruits in the batter of the cupcakes, which will give it an additional source of vitamins and also enhance the flavour of it by giving a fruity twist to the otherwise plain cupcake.
- We could choose another flavour for the cupcake, such as carrot cake, so that a vegetable could be incorporated into this desert and still taste as delicious.
- We could also add nuts into either the batter or the icing of the cupcake, since nuts are known for their fibre, vitamins and good fat.
4. Take a photo of the cupcakes. Post.

Blog Post 3 - 19.07.18 (Quiche & Peach Crumble)

# data[].attributes.body
What Have I Learnt:
- How to make shortcrust pastry (can be used for both quiche and crumble)
- Crumbling method
- How to prepare the ingredients used in the fillings of the quiche.

Done Well
- We were very efficient and handled our delegated tasks quickly and well, giving us more time for clean-up and consuming our food.
- The quiche turned out to be very flavourful and successful, with a very crumbly crust on the outside and the fillings which are well-mixed and the onions giving it an extra crunch, giving the quiche varying textures to enjoy and experience as a whole.

Other alternative fillings:
- Chicken
- Seafood (e.g. prawn)

Healthier ingredients:
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Other types of vegetables

(peach crumble)

# data[].attributes.body
What I have Learnt:
-  Before grilling the chicken, make sure it is well-marinated and left to flavour for a while.
- While grilling the chicken, make sure to flip them to the other side and coat them with the leftover marinade (to ensure both sides are equally cooked and seasoned).
- Fry the uncooked rice before steaming it to give it more flavour.

Areas for Improvement:
- The chicken should have been grilled in the oven for a longer time as in the end, we realised that it was slightly undercooked.

Things that we had done well:
- The rice was very fragrant and had a satisfactory chewy texture
- The chicken was well-marinated
- The chilli was very well blended and the taste was just right, with the right ratio and amount of spiciness, sourness and sweetness.

What have I learnt?
I learnt how to make lasagna, by the saucing method.
- White sauce
- Meat sauce
*Take Note: Do not prepare the white sauce too early. Finish cooking the meat sauce before starting on the white sauce. White sauce should not be left there without supervision as it will harden and become very thick.

Areas of Improvement
- Bake lasagna longer as the pasta sheets in our end product were not fully cooked
- Distribute the sauces more evenly throughout the lasagna during assembling.
- We could have cut the lasagna more neatly such that the layers could be differentiated distinctly during the presentation of our product.

Done Well
- The sauces were well-seasoned and the white sauce was well cooked (right consistency)
- The assembling was down quickly and the white sauce did not harden as it was under constant supervision
- We were efficient as we had allocated the roles well and there was not any point in time when either of us had nothing to do
- The top cheese layer was baked to a very nice shade of golden-brown, making the lasagna look delicious, look appetising and have a good aesthetic appeal.

In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative skills)
I made several changes in the recipe to make it more healthy, such as:
-  reducing the fat and salt used for the whole product
- adding in extra vegetables such as mushrooms and spinach
- providing another option and flavour of mini quiche to be served on the same plate (tuna quiche and vegetarian quiche), which will allow the dish taster to have more variety and also dine healthier.
- additional of a fruit and vegetable salad to accompany the main dish. This salad included walnuts, lettuce, apples and a slice of lemon. These ingredients as a whole acts as additional sources of fibre, vitamins and nutrients, and also a refreshing side dish to accompany the savoury main dish, in case it is too heavy for the diner.
- I have cut down on the use of oil to grease the tins, did not use any sugar in addition to the natural ingredients and have made use of minimal unhealthy seasonings such as salt and did not use any pre-made sauces that might be high in salt and have little nutritional level.
- I used tuna that was stored in olive oil instead of the usual oil that is unhealthier than olive oil.
- I have also chosen fresh produce and ingredients before the creation of the product.
❏ Reflect on the practical test session
❏ Were you able to manage time?
I was able to manage my time very well despite of having several components in the overall dish. I was able to make the product and side dish of salad in good time and prepare and clear up the ingredients before the time ended.
❏ Did you face difficulties? How did you overcome them?
Yes, although I was able to complete all my necessary tasks in time, it was a bit rushed for me during the practice round at home. I overcame this difficulty by having a very clear idea of all the steps to take before arriving for the actual practical. This allowed me to do everything in a very systematic and orderly manner, and made sure that I will not be in a mess and rush.
❏ How would you have done it differently?
I would have watched over my pastry in the oven more carefully as he end product ended up looking slightly browner than I expected. Although it did not have a burnt taste, it was not very pleasing to the eye and I feel that it could have been watched over better to prevent overheating.
❏ Reflect on the food blogging process
It was an extremely satisfying, useful and effective one as I was able to judge my progress and how much I have learnt. It gave me a platform to compile in chronological order all the dishes I have made and also made me aware of the areas of improvement.
❏ How useful were the nutritional tools?
They made me aware of the different aspects of having a balanced meal and contributed to me finally successfully creating a balanced meal.
❏ How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?
I feel that they were manageable and I was able to execute the manipulative skills I decided to focus on (rubbing-in method), as I had sufficient practice and also took the advice of my teacher to use my fingertips to prevent the butter from melting.
❏ How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come up with your final creation?
They allowed me to explore my options and finally decide on a product that was the most suitable for me to cook while demonstrating good manipulative skills etc.

These are 3 important things I learnt about Expression that can be used in my life:

# data[].attributes.body
Creativity:
I will use my imagination when creating artworks and not rely totally on copying artwork by other artists. Instead, I can refer to them as ideas and come up with a design unique to myself.
Project Management:
I will plan my time well so that I will be able to complete my work and not need to rush to do so as that will definitely affect the quality of my work.
Expression:
I can incorporate ideas I get from my usual lifestyle or routines and express them through colours, shapes or textures in the form of art.

# data[].attributes.body
With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when tasting the different food products that I cooked and being able to improve on a recipe and make it healthier with the creation of Mini Quiches for my practical assessment. I feel proud of this as I was able to call that recipe and the presentation of it my own.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was deciding on a dish to create, as I was unsure which one I would feel most confident making. After exploring my options and considering the various aspects of a balanced meal and a good dish, I finally decided on making quiche and feel happy and satisfied with my decision.
