Monoprinting

Hello everyone, from the last few weeks, we have been working on our monoprint for art.

We first started off gathering plants so that we can photocopy it. We needed to add background, middle ground and fore ground. We had 2 photocopies, one is for us to colour in and the other one of the monoprint.

I added Mount Fuji as my background to add a little bit of spice, Mt Fuji is a big mountain that is located on Japan, it's also very famous. After we've done colouring it in, we had to start on our monoprint.

For some people, monoprint is hard, but you'll get used to it if you are interested on art, here is my monoprint:

Doing monoprint is actually pretty challenging for me, because we were using ink, it's not gonna be easy to take it off. That's why I was careful when doing monoprint.

Thank you for reading this blog post, this is gonna be one of the last weeks of art. So I will eventually miss art.

What is Fermentation?

Yeast is a living thing and it eats the glucose/sugar and the yeast and breathes out or releases Carbon Dioxide /CO₂ and it excrete alcohol, this process is called Respiration.

What are the best conditions for brewing?

Based on google, the best condition to brew your ginger beer is to keep it in warm temperature and keep mixing it.

What is the difference between beer,cider,vodka,whiskey?

There is a difference between these drinks, vodka has the highest alcohol level out of beer, cider and whiskey. 

Result:

When I first smelled it, it smelled so bad that the scent can't erase easily. Mr Stock tasted it, but based on his facial expression, it looked like that my ginger beer was bad.

Based on google, the reason why it smelled bad is because of the bacteria that has snuck on my ginger beer.

Making Sherbet

 Aim: 

I want to find out how to make a good sherbet

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Citric Acid
• Raro (Any flavour)
• Baking Soda
• A cup
• A stick
• A piece of paper

Instruction

1. Get all of your equipment ready.
2. Pour some of the dry ingredients on the paper, make sure it's all separated.
3. Scoop a little bit of baking soda using your stick and put it in your cup.
4. Scoop a little bit of Citric acid and add it to the cup.
5. Scoop a little bit of Raro and add it to the cup, for some flavour. 
6. Blend the dry ingredients on the cup.
7. Wet your stick and dip it on the sherbet, if you feel like it doesn't have that much foam, add more baking soda, but if it doesn't have that much flavour, add raro. If its not sour enough, add more citric acid.

Results:

Honestly, it tasted good for me. It's because I like sour foods and I liked the sherbet I made. Once it touched my tongue, it started fizzing.

Discussion:

Why is Citric acid really sour?

Originally, Citric acid is made out of derived lemon juice, lemon juice is also sour. 

Why did it foam?

Once sherbet touches water, it starts foaming and fizzing. The reason why it foams is because, Citric acid is a sort of acid that is made out of lemon. Once you mix citric acid and baking soda and pour water on it, some atoms combine into carbon dioxide.
