Anthropomorphism and Metamorphism

Anthropomorphism: the giving of human like qualities or atributes to inanimate objects or animals.

The use of anthropomorphism in art is a way one can express an abstract or fantastic idea. consider these examples and hoe the anthropomorphized figures lend to the mood of the story.



Metamorphis: the physical change of an objects state to another physical state.

  1. Hi James, I seek your permission to use your image of metamorphosis from leaf to butterfly (above). I have a small not-for-profit women's group in Brisbane, Australia called Women Howling at the Moon. We meet monthly, and any profits go to a remote Aboriginal women's centre in the desert in central Australia. I came across your image and it would be perfect as a metaphor for women realising the difference they're here for. Please let me know if I might use it. If so, I would use it on my website page for Women Howling, and on my Facebook page. I would of course reference you as the creator. Thank you. Christine Henderson
