In the beginning of Genius Hour I was a little confused because I didn’t know what I was going to do it about, and I only knew a little bit about what my passion was. Then as we started getting deeper into Genius Hour, I knew what my passion was, and I had started wanting to learn more about what it was and different ways to do it. When I finally got to try to wood burn, I found out that it was not as easy as it looked even though I had fun in the end looking at how my wood burned boxing kangaroo looked. I got a little discouraged in the beginning of starting to burn on the wood because I thought I was doing a horrible job. Now that we have finished our Genius Hour projects, I might want to try doing my own maybe to try different things, and find out lots of things on stuff I like, or maybe stuff I would like to try to do.
Baking Cupcakes with my cousin
I can make brownies, and I can make cakes, and I can make little doughnut holes with glaze and sprinkles on top. My favorite thing to make though, are cupcakes especially with my cousin Chloe. Chloe loves to bake and so do I, my sister Rylee and my Nana helped bake the cupcakes too. We started off with getting all of the supplies and ingredients that we were going to need. It took us a while, but we finally got everything we needed. First we were going to make lemon cupcakes, then we were going to make the frosting and put it on them when they were done. To make the lemon cupcakes we needed lemon peel shavings, so Chloe started on the lemon shavings and I started on the other parts of the batter. After Chloe finished on the lemon shavings she started helping me with the other parts of the batter. Once we were done we had to put the bowl in the mixer. I started to put the bowl in the mixer but I needed a little help from Chloe because the bowl got stuck. When we got the bowl in the mixer we turned it on and off while we added in the eggs and the lemon shavings, we got everything mixed into the batter and then put a spoonful of batter into each cupcake mold and put them into the oven. While the cupcakes were baking we made the frosting and it was a lot easier than making the cupcake batter. When the cupcakes were finally done in the oven we got to frost the cupcakes. After all of the frosting was done we let them cool off a little bit more and then we got to try them and they were delicious. If wood burning is able to be self taught, would I be able to teach myself and how would I do it?
I have always had a passion for just about any thing that involves art, although I can't remember even how I got started with being interested in art one of my influences though is definitely my mom . Something that I would really be interested in learning about though is wood burning (or pyrographic art). I really hope to learn how to wood burn because I think it will be an amazing think to be able to learn about, learn how to do, and I think it will be a really fun thing to do. One of my favorite pieces of wood burning is a picture of a fireplace that my uncle has made, he is phenomenal at art and drawing and I hope that I will be able to wood burn as good as him.
