on another level, studies have shown that animals, even insects, have a sense of symmetry, aesthetics, etc. from bowerbirds to butterflies, art exists without the word and social contraptions etc.

Makes me wonder... What clever thing, might elephants boast amongst themselves, to have taught the occasional human to accomplish?

Great material for a book too! My favourite one is 'If I collaborate with an elephant to make an artwork is that elephant my fellow artist?' That really appeals to me. First of all, you immediately start to wonder what kind of artwork the elephant could participate in - elephant footprints on a canvas? an elephant with a paintbrush in its trunk? maybe something displayed on the sides of the elephant? Secondly, who wouldn't want an elephant as a fellow artist? And just imagine the presentation if you won the Turner Prize!
