During the learning stage, the mahouts generally select the colors and determine when a painting is finished. They teach the elephants how to hold the brush, and a number of mahouts have also customized their paintbrushes, adding bamboo handles that are easier for the elephants to grip.
Elephant painting of the northern, or Lampang school tends to be lyrical and expressive, characterized by broken brushwork, curvilinear forms, and bold, clear, primary colors. In the central Thai, or Ayutthaya school, elephants and mahouts prefer darker, cooler colors such as deep violet, black, and forest green, which they apply with broad, vigorous brushstrokes that sweep across the canvas from edge to edge. Elephants of the southern, or Phuket school tend toward saturated tertiary colors like mustard, plum, and magenta, mixed on the surface of the paper with broad, gentle, curvy brushstrokes.This is quite amazing.

catedrals asked: Isn't there a significant curve on the SAT? I thought it was widely accepted that the curve is higher in the fall, lower in the spring. Or it might be the other way around. Either way, more seniors take it at a certain time, and more SAT-prepped students take it at a certain time, pushing the curves up. And at higher scores, one question is valued at more--missing one question could drop you from a 2400 to a 2360, but only from a 1600 to a 1590. Something like that?
Each test has a slightly different scoring table—that’s true. But the differences aren’t due to...
