Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Following info is from The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project: http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=69 LOCATION:Chiang Mai, THAILAND CAMP: Maetaman Elephant Camp ART TEACHER: Khun Tossapol Petcharattanakool ELEPHANT: Hong SEX: Female AGE: 8 MAHOUT: Mr. Noi Rakchang HONG'S BIO: At eight years old, Hong maintains a very curious nature. She loves to investigate everything and once managed to use her trunk to open the door of a truck. This kind of curiosity made Hong a natural candidate for artistic instruction. Two years ago, Hong began painting with her mahout, Noi Rakchang, and has steadily developed her skills. After learning how to paint flowers, she moved on to more advanced paintings. She now has two specialties. One is an elephant holding flowers with her trunk, and the other is the Thai flag. An elephant with so much control and dexterity is capable of amazing work. Just for clarification, with these realistic figural works, the elephant is still the only one making the marks on the paper but the paintings are learned series of brushstrokes not Hong painting a still life on her own. We are sure that as Hong continues to investigate her artistic side, her paintings will become even more beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
