Hello, My name is Mark Cabalse. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Maui when I was 4 years old. Growing up, I loved doing art and being creative, and when I went to high school, I was introduced to graphic design. From then on, I knew that I wanted to do that as a career in the future. I graduated with honors from Maui High School in 2019 and continued to study graphic design at UH Maui College. I graduated in 2022, earning my associate degree in creative media. I continued my education remotely at UH West Oahu, where I am studying to earn my bachelor's degree! If I was an artist's tool, I would be a pencil. A pencil is usually used in the brainstorming process, where the artist sketches out their ideas. I am a person that is constantly brainstorming new ideas, looking for inspiration and keeping my gears turned to create a vision for the work that I will be doing. The beauty of a pencil is that it can be erased, which is a reflection of my ever-changing brainstorming process.
Color theory is often considered as a pseudoscience because the claims of what a color means and represents are anecdotal, which discredits its importance to society. However, the use of color has been proven to affect how people think and behave. This research paper will examine the neurological and cognitive effects of color across various contexts and how it can apply to daily life. Specific colors can be used to serve a function, prompt an action, or communicate a message. Although, color perception is different for each person because of factors such as gender, disability, and culture. The differences in color perception demonstrates the necessity for color theory as specific colors need to be used carefully and with a purpose for different groups, which signifies its importance to society.
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"ย (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 โcomplete.โ Students learn that hard work is what makes their ideas come to life and sticktuiveness is what helps them get better.
