Hybrid Animals Project!

Your challenge:

• design a hybrid animal that reflects your personality and/or interests
• use parts from at least 3 different animal species {head from one, body from a second, arms/legs/fins/wings/tails from a third+); you may use one of your own parts if you like
• use only high resolution images for your project - no blurry or fuzzy pictures will be accepted
• select or create an environment - can be indoor or outdoor and can be realistic or not
• scale your animal properly for the environment
• name your animal!  write the name creatively on the image using the text tool
• sign your project with your initials or first and last name in the bottom right corner in a scripty font

Bonus points (not that you have grades in this class!) if you include yourself or someone else (with her/his permission of course) in your creation.  Are you excited to see your animal?  Fearful?  Feeding it?

Tools to use:

You will need use the magnetic lasso tool for sure.  You may also want to use color replacement, brushes, shapes, and more. 

Make your canvas 11x17 (or 17x11)!
