Mutant Animals
Concept
YES:
· Create 2 mutants
· Each mutant is made from 3 animals
· Choose animals that have different features.
Wolf ears on a dog don’t look mutanty-enough!
· Make the different body parts fit in:
o Size
o Orientation
o Attachment
· Change the background. Fit the mutant into the scene as if it was its natural habitat.
NO:
· People
· Repeat animals
o Pug/Beagle/etc. all count as a Dog.
· Cartoon/Superhero/Extinct /Movie/Fake characters
