Just go to youtube and you can see countless examples of elephants or monkeys painting. Just because they can smush some paint onto canvas doesn&#039;t make them artists.

They are just quickly produced with low priced labor and materials in order to satisfy a particular niche of the global art market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
