We invite students to draw and/or paint an elephant (or elephants) and send it to The Elephant Minds Foundation. In exchange, EMF will buy a book that will be donated in the student’s name to the school or library they are members of. Find those crayons, pencils, watercolours or any items that will help you express your unique creativity and get started! We look forward to seeing your art work any time soon.
Our Objectives
- Encourage students to learn about Elephants; their behaviour, habitats, and what these animals can teach them
- Encourage students to explore ways in which elephants and people can share space where coexistence is a challenge for both
- Encourage students to share their work and educational experiences with others around the world
- Encourage students to help others like them
- Support students so that they may achieve all of the above and leave their own kind and generous legacy by offering An elephant for a book
A project of The Elephant Minds Foundation

Amigo y miembro de la Fundación Elephant Minds, el artista argentino Nicolás Iribarne Llano, donó una hermosa imagen iconográfica del elefante que nos representa, y la hemos trasladado a este hermoso rompecabezas (puzzle) de 16 piezas.

It seems like almost yesterday, when we started the Elephant Minds Foundation, with the aim of supporting those who have limited or no access to education, but we have actually been running since 2013! Five wonderful years where the support of our students, friends, members, and many supporters has allowed us to get involved with some incredible projects around the world. We have been especially busy over the past two years, with particular focus on our work in Argentina, India and Tanzania.

El Museo y la Educación
El nuevo rol docente del Museo de nuestros tiempos
Los museos, desde su origen, fueron considerados lugares elitistas de colección, almacén y exposición de objetos valiosos, destinados a ser, mayormente, para la contemplación de algunos pocos. Sólo para entendidos y expertos en la materia del objeto coleccionado y custodiado por los museos.
This drawing of the gentle giant was the first surprise we received from Nico a few months ago. He’d told us to wait for yet another which arrived recently. What a surprise it was! The same piece is now a vibrant watercolour painted by the artist.
Nico lives and works in Corrientes, Argentina and is a Voluntary Member of The Elephant Minds Foundation. You will find more information about the artist here. Other works by the artist at El arte ligado a la naturaleza.
