*Roy and Hilda Takeyama Family Foundation Scholarship Recipient

Hello!

My name is Mavric Agustin - Carino. I grew up in the city of Waipahu, Hawai‘i. I attended August Ahrens Elementary, Waipahu Intermediate School and graduated from Waipahu High School. I enrolled at Honolulu Community college in 2006, then Leeward Community College in 2017. Then I transferred to UH: West Oahu in 2020. If I were an artistʻs tool, I would be an artist's hands. Some would not consider a body part to be a tool, put I feel that it is the most important as a human being, our hands are our most perfect manipulators. Hands, fingers and thumbs combined with our creative minds will create our best work and inspire others in their journey into becoming better versions of themselves, all with the flick of a wrist, a stroke of a brush and or a click of a mouse.

Research Topic: Styles of Animation

Research Question: What is the appeal of Japanese anime?

Abstract

Modern Japanese animations have been around since the late 1950’s, ever since the legend Osamu Tezuka, reimagined the way animation would be brought onto public eyes. This research paper uncovers the ever changing growth of anime and how it is slowly becoming a social norm of western culture, with some westerners not having the proper knowledge of the multitude of symbolisms of every anime created over the past thirty years. There is no one way to explain how the anime phenomena is being consumed by audiences, but evidence found through the history of Japanese pop culture gives us evidence to why the intended messages of anime are not recognized by the global audience. This leaves the global audience appreciating only small parts of the true nature anime is intended for.

CREATIVE PROCESS:

The concept of creativity has come a long way. The Old Greeks would call those creative forces muses, other religions referred to them as God. Today people still mostly treat creativity as an aha moment outside the area of influence. However, just by looking at the creative process one can tell, that creativity and creative work is more than just that one "Aha-Moment" (insight). It is clear that generating ideas demands planning and preparation, identifying something of interest like a problem, an opportunity or a challenge, doing research. This then leads to thinking of a solution, allowing time to incubate and iterations before arriving at something “complete.” Students learn that hard work is what makes their ideas come to life and sticktuiveness is what helps them get better.
