Painting isn't just for people. This pig is a painter too!
This pig's name is Pinto. Since he doesn't have any hands, Pinto can't use a brush to paint. Instead, he uses other parts of his body.
First, Pinto puts his face and hooves in a bowl of paint. Then he walks over to a piece of paper on the ground and rubs the paint all over it. Sometimes he gets more paint on himself than he gets on the piece of paper.

But Pinto doesn't just use paint. Sometimes he also takes his food and puts it on the painting too.
Next time you are eating food that you don't like, don't throw it out. Use it to make some art! (Taipei Times)
繪畫可不是人類的專利,這隻豬也是畫家。
牠的名字叫「Pinto」。因為牠沒有手,無法使用刷子作畫,所以牠就改用身體的其它部位。
首先,Pinto 把鼻子和腳蹄放進一碗畫料裡,然後在地板的紙上走來走去,四處塗上畫料。
有時候牠自己沾上的畫料比塗在紙上的還多。
不過,Pinto 不只會用畫料,還會把自己的食物拿來作畫。
下次你在吃自己不喜歡的食物時,可別丟掉,用來創作藝術品吧! (台北時報)

Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park is a great example of how art can be combined with environmental conservation. __1__ on the ocean floor of the Caribbean Sea, this aquatic gallery was the brainchild of British sculptor and ecologist Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006. The park features sculptures that function as man-made coral reefs, with holes and shelters to attract marine life, thus forming a strikingly beautiful __2__. The sculptures are placed in a way that diverts visitors from nearby natural reefs. This creative approach to ecological preservation demonstrates how art can inspire, educate, and contribute to the sustainability of our environment. The
City life moves fast, and escalators are a lifesaver for busy commuters. __1__ It is widely believed that this practice keeps traffic flowing smoothly and avoids congestion. While on the road, drivers of slower vehicles are required to remain within the outside lane so that those traveling at faster speeds may pass in the inside lane. Similar to traffic lanes that separate vehicles driving at different speeds, this convention on escalators allows for both efficiency and courtesy. __2__ This system reflects an unspoken understanding that facilitates shared use of the space. However, the city of Nagoya, Japan, has
