Some of my high school students are looking for images of clay multi-animal
forms, like the body of a dog and head of an eagle, for inspiration. If you
know of any websites or have JPG's, you could email me off list at
sharrison@humboldt.k12.ca.us. I have run through most on Google and gleaned
a few and I have several I made.
Thanks,
Scott Harrison

Students can create their own variations.

one of the best sources for this and just about anything else where you
need pictures for inspiration is to go to yard sales and used book sales
and get cheap books and magazines that it is okay for the kids to cut
apart. I have file folders full of animal photos, people photos,
places, anything interesting. I always asked kids to bring in old
magazines from home. great extra credit opportunity.

Since you seem to need immediate results send the kids to the media
center with the assignment to photo copy 3 different types of animals
out of reference books. they can combine their three or trade with
other kids.

there is a book on gargoyles called
Nightmares in the sky : gargoyles and grotesques / text, Stephen King ;
photographs, f-stop Fitzgerald.
New York, N.Y., U.S.A. : Viking Studio Books, 1988.



and then there is

American gargoyles : spirits in stone / Darlene Trew Crist ; photographs
by Robert Llewellyn.
New York : Clarkson Potter, c2001.


really wonderful books.

also just looking through the kids section in the library can give you a
wealth of weird creatures.

Good Luck.

Millie in Md. who actually sold a tea bowl full of assorted gargoyle
heads with a pair of chop sticks titled "Gargoyle Stew" I priced it
ridiculously high because the work had to be for sale in that show, but
I really didn't want to sell my little guys. I miss them

I lost the site's name there is a ceramic department in Goshen ( I write it as in
Hebrew- Goshen was in Egypt) there were examples of working with Gargoyles even
tutorials.
