Henry Moore

Henry Moore was a semi abstract English artist. He was born in 1898 and passed in 1986. He was 88 years old. He was one of the most celebrated sculptors of the period after the war.  He had a 7 year teaching position at the Royal College of Art in London. At some point he was also a war artist at the onset of World War II. Internationally his art had impact, but it slowly went away after his death.
Below are some of his art works:

    I like his work and his use of shape and texture! Wish the images were bigger though so guess I will have to banish you for that :((

    I really like the simple design of his works. It looks very clean and very modern! I would have to agree with Flora that if the images are a bit bigger, we would be able to see it up close and the fine details!

    I like the simplicity of his work, and how although there isn't a lot of visible texture, the shape really takes over. But I do have to agree with Flora and Minnie, I wish the images were bigger to add to the details.

Animal Difference

The two animals I think are visually different are wolves and sharks. In a 3D way, wolves and sharks are different. Some ways that wolves are visually interesting are because compared to sharks, they're a land animal and an aquatic animal. The tail of a shark and the ears of a wolf both are completely different and yet they both have the same appeal to me. Sculpturally wolf ears, shark tails and dorsal fins.

Chimeras!!

A chimera is a female, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail (in Greek Mythology). However, the chimera we're talking about now is simply a hybrid. It is a mixture of two embryos mostly animals but human embryos are also a thing.  "Second,  chimeras  can arise when developing fraternal twins share a blood supply. This  happens  when the twins (who have different DNA) share a placenta and cells from their blood mix." The ways it's been depicted are the Greek Mythology monster. Below are photos of what a Chimera can be:
