Indeed ! We should avoid getting above ourselves. Taking care of a small, smart and affectionate dog the last couple of years has made me revise some fairly deeply held assumptions. I’m avoiding indicating how I think the questions might be answered but I think the question of ‘intentionality’ is raised here. Daisy the dog is clearly intentional when she goes into the garden to get the ball and then drops it at my feet but to date she has shown little inclination or aptitude for visual art or music ...

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

Wonderful! And elephants have been taught to paint, btw. This extends in all sorts of directions; our friend Rachel Rosenkrantz has bees contributing to the design of an acoustic guitar -Best, Alan

Michael,
I agree with what others have said, these are extremely thought-provoking, and almost any one of the questions would be material for a couple of hours of discussion. 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!
