MONTHLY ACTIVITIES: May 2019 Week 4: PLATYPUS LOGIC

5/27/2019

INTRODUCTION
So, hybrids are pretty popular! Love 'em or hate 'em, we've all seen Hedgefoxes and the like. One thing to note is that a lot of hybrids are... a bit safe. Many use one species as a base and maybe add ears or a tail from another, or just use two species that are already similar.

PREMISE
So why not try to really stretch that "hybrid" label? For this week's activity, participants will use this generator to get a list of 7 animals. Today they'll draw a character - as basic or complex as desired - using the first animal on their list. The next day, they'll hybridize the first animal with the second, either with their character from the first day or an entirely new character. They'll continue on like this, adding a new animal to the mix every day, until they've made the craziest mix-n-match character anyone's ever seen.

This is purely an artistic exercise; no need to work on a fully-developed character unless you want to. For record's sake, if you're participating post an image of your randomly generated list in the comments below.
