Shimmering Chimeras
Animal hybrids created by North Adelaide Primary School
Artist Penny Mortimer collaborated with students to create a collection of imaginative animal hybrids. This project celebrates the limitless possibilities of art, inviting children to combine shapes, textures, and colours from nature to invent new creatures.
The process nurtures creative thinking, resilience, and joy, encouraging students to express themselves while learning about the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom.
