Drawings

Here are some images i got from the internet.

Chimera, in Greek mythology, a fire-breathing female monster resembling a lion in the forepart, a goat in the middle, and a dragon behind. She devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellerophon. In art the Chimera is usually represented as a lion with a goat’s head in the middle of its back and with a tail that ends in a snake’s head. This matches the description found in Hesiod’s Theogony (7th century bc). The word is now used generally to denote a fantastic idea or figment of the imagination.

DESCRIPTION

From the Greek meaning "she-goat" the Chimera is a fire-breathing creature that has the body of a goat, the head of a lion and the tail of a serpent.  Some sources have represented the Chimera with three heads (the lion's head as the main, then the goat's head sprouted from its back, and the serpent's or Dragon’s head on its tail), but the popular myth tells of the single, fire-vomiting head. The very unlikely aspect of the chimera has gradually turned its name into a synonym of a vain dream.

Not only does a Digital Montage create a unique talking point for your friends and family, it also offers a continual trip down memory lane.

Chimera

Here are some images of the objects in my bag put together to form some sort of chimera creature. I used the ipod as the body and then used the tool as legs and arms, the i needed a head and the sellotape seemed the right choice.

In this Project we were asked to make a Alphabet out of found objects and size didnt matter.
