Why not a formal art training school?

The fact that some pieces of art created by nonhuman primates are often sold and exhibited which is mentioned in quest 3, strikes me that we should set up an institute that trains talented primates in art. There are several advantages in establishing such a school which are shown as follow.

First, the staffs who work in this institute would have relatively higher expertise in training art to nonhuman primates. Therefore, this institute trains not only nonhuman primates but also human experts in this field. Second, generally art is performed by human and almost limited to human who have been trained in art. If we try to train nonhuman primate in art, we would have new form of art. It might extend the concept of art to the extent that we have never dreamed of before. Finally, by comparing the process of studying art in human and nonhuman primates, scientists might be able to draw new knowledge about the evolutionary process that set these primate species apart.

For these reasons, it is a good idea to create such an institute or school devoted mainly to training nonhuman primates in art. There might be great deal of breakthrough knowledge that will be discovered in this kind of research.
