Beginning Digital Art 1-2 - Creative Warmups
Creative Activity #1: Anthropomorphism
Anthropomorphism:
1. Giving living characteristics to an inanimate object
2. Giving human characteristics to an animal or object
Your Task: Find a good image online of the object you were given.
Bring your object to life by giving it living qualities--create a unique character!
Remember to try to show the type of personality or visual qualities the object would have if it were really alive. What makes most sense for your object? Think about either what the object does and/or how it looks, to give you ideas on the kind of "person" it would be.
