Can animals be artistic? Some experts thinks so. Painting and music are part of efforts to keep animals happy at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Zookeepers there believe that animals need enrichment just like people do.
A sloth bear called Francois is one of the National Zoo’s artists. He began his artistic career two years ago. Francois has a very unusual way to paint. He uses his breath to paint. His zookeeper, Stacey Tabellario, says that although the technique may look strange, it is actually a
very natural behavior for sloth bears. They have got big lungs and they can blow a huge amount of air. The zookeepers fill one of those tubes full of paint and ask them to breathe through it. And they blow all of the paint onto the canvas, making these really cool paintings.
Stacey Tabellario says Francois seems to enjoy expressing himself through his art. “When I set up the materials for painting activity, he es and sits next to them and waits until we are ready to start painting. He does that every time. I also see where his eyes go. He does see the paints e out of the tube and land on the canvas. But not every animal wants to paint.
Stacey Tabellario says the program helps the animals and the zookeepers in many ways. Every interaction between keepers and their animals creates some sort of connections. The oneofakind woks of art created by the animals are popular with zoo visitors. Many are sold at the zoo’s fundraising events.
32. What is the best title for the text?
