Task:

Your new project is titled Chimeras. In Greek mythology, a chimera was a fire breathing female monster with a lion's head, a goats body and a serpents tail.

1. Begin by opening Showbie/Chimeras/number 1: Chimera introduction and animal drawing tasks
2. Look through the introduction to animals in art (slides 1-22).
3. Find images of animals you like. You might have photos of your own pets on your iPad, alternatively, use Google images to select a range of animals (domestic or wild) that you like.
4. In your sketchbook/A4 paper if you don't have your book with you, make a pencil sketch of your favourite animal. Use slides 24 to 26 to help you with your drawings, starting with basic shapes. You don't have to draw a cat and a monkey but you can apply the step by step instructions to any animal.
5. EXTENSION TASK: Create a range of digital animal drawings using any art software you have.
