the elephant he drew was drawn from a very artistic point of view...in that sense it showed more of an artistic ability than caveman drawings which consisted of very crude profiles of anything they drew back then.

Elephant death rituals is very interesting stuff. Stuff like that wouldn't make me surprised if an elephant knew what it was doing when drawing an elephant.

looked like some sort of tourist show. It looked like in the background they have several elephants doing the same for crowds, probably each trained to paint one specific picture.

That's what it looks like judging by the way he traces over areas and starts new lines from the same spot. The drawing has no meaning to him other than food.
yeah it's just a big dumb animal right?
Relatively speaking, yes. But an elephant is still smart compared to the animal kingdom in general, I'll give you that.
