bushinarin Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - That's bizarre. It does say that the elephant was trained. Was this creatively the elephants, or just pre-trained strokes?

poweremw Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - great

ClassiestMedic Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - Amazing. Absolutely amazing. It would be nearly impossible to train the elephant to perform all those detailed steps perfectly, so I am left to conclude that this amazing animal actually painted all by herself. An elephant painting from memory... Wow. Just wow.

inspirationzinc Says:

Feb 9, 2012 - This isn't fake, but neither is it real, at least not in the sense that the elephant "creates" the painting using mental abstraction (as humans do). The animal has simply been trained to follow commands and replicate pre-taught movements with a brush. Watch the video again closely and one can see the trainerphysically directing the elephant what movements to make. The elephant is thus acting out a perceptual command, as opposed to creatively conceptualising (and understanding) what it paints.

Feb 9, 2012 - @inspirationzinc Because god forbid we ever accept maybe we aren't the only Sentient creatures on the planet. Some day, An elephant is just gonna be like "Listen, Vote for a real Elephant for president, Ill show you mother fuckers how its done" And everyone will laugh and think "Thats a neat trick" and the elephant will kill us all.

inspirationzinc Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - @inspirationzinc to look closely do a youtube search for "Big Painting Self-Portrait Elephant Artist" and watch that video

AngrySackBoy Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - My Design Methodology professor asked us last month, "If an elephant paints a picture, is it art". We all answered no, he doesn't know what he's doing, therefor not intentional and with meaning, therefor not art. I've been proven sorely wrong. I have lost the game.
