WTF
Som, have you ever seen this? (supposed to be in Thailand) I remember some argument that its all just conditioned training and the elephant has no real concept of it but that seems a bold jump to me.
Pretty trippy:
Elephant Paints Self-Portrait
I have heard that the elephant trainer is moving the elephants ear to direct the brush, so it might just be conditioning in that way.

I think their just like to play with the brush, and sometimes thats a draw in, just like whem we don't have any idea and simple start playing, sometimes a draw pops up.

im pretty sure an elephants ear is not a joystick.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Maybe I am just projecting... but I really tripped on the way the elephant was holding the brush;
he kind of holds it there in front of the canvas for a few seconds before he begins... in my experience drawing/lifedrawing etc this is a common thing, you kind of try to 'see' what you are going to draw and get your hand ready to make the strokes.
The way this elephant holds the brush at that moment for me has the exact same kind of gesture, the same delicate pause. He's not just holding the brush with a blunt grip, he's holding it with the same sensitivity as a life-drawer holds his charcoal
