What Your Challenge Is
Details:
July tends to represent an important day in American history. The fourth of July is a national holiday celebrating the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. So as not to exclude other places, I thought we can celebrate it in our own why by having a spark of color! You can draw anything you feel a "Spark of color" would ignite in your imagination! Whether that is celebrating the 4th of July with fireworks and fun times with friends and family! Or having your character hit with paint in a white room! But there has to be some sort of hint to a "spark" of some kind! If it isn't obvious, please make sure you include a small description about the piece!

What is Anthropomorphic Art?
Anthropomorphism or personification is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to other animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts, such as organizations, governments, spirits or deities. The term was coined in the mid-1700s. Examples include animals and plants and forces of nature such as winds, rain or the sun depicted as creatures with human motivations, and/or the abilities to reason and converse. The term derives from the combination of the Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos), "human" and μορφή (morphē), "shape" or "form".
As a literary device, anthropomorphism is strongly associated with art and storytelling where it has ancient roots. Most cultures possess a long-standing fable tradition with anthropomorphised animals as characters that can stand as commonly recognised types of human behavior. In contrast to this, conventional Western science, as well as such religious doctrines as the Christian Great Chain of Being propound the opposite, anthropocentric belief that animals, plants and non-living things, unlike humans, lack spiritual and mental attributes, immortal souls, and anything other than relatively limited awareness.
