Hello!
Hello!
Hi! My name is Harper Okamoto. I was born and raised here on Oʻahu, living in Pearl City. I was homeschooled all the way through high school which I'm extremely grateful for, because it gave me the freedom to pursue many different creative endeavors such as dance, art, and graphic design! After high school, I attended Leeward Community College and earned my AS in Digital Media. I decided to transfer to UH West O‘ahu to further my education in the Creative Media program. If I were an artist's tool, I would be a picture frame. Capturing moments in time through various visual mediums and getting creative with limitations is what I love the most about art. A frame also highlights the content it surrounds so I think I'm like a frame in the sense that I enjoy seeing my peers' work and supporting them in their creative endeavors too.

Abstract:
Nearly every piece of art features a subject, but what exactly is our brain processing to comprehend and identify those subjects? Essential components such as line, shape, and color can be found in almost every artwork, acting as building blocks for artists to use to depict objects and ideas. This essay will explore the brain’s intricate method for processing these fundamental elements and the unique effects each element has on our overall perception of an artwork’s subject matter. Understanding the hierarchical manner of the brain’s visual processing system is key to using the fundamental elements of art efficiently. These concepts will also be considered specifically in the field of marketing to analyze how thoughtful application of the key elements can aid artists and designers in communicating their messages more effectively.

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.
