Regarding the elephant. Its use of trunk and dexterity is matched only by the human hand. It's more dextrous (in general) than monkey/ape hands. The grip for elephants vary according to each individual; if the painting elephant has learned from humans it is only fair to assume it also picked up the human movements for painting. It can certainly articulate more but has not learned this in regard to the canvas.
No conclusion can reliably be made regarding trunk and technique.
It seems very likely, however, that it has learned representative painting from a trainer.
Considering this site: http://www.elephantartgallery.com/paintings/
Where elephants have been painting whatever they feel like; it compares fairly interestingly to early paleolithic painting/cave art.
Following the ideas of Graham Hancock with what he and his professor friend dug up about meanings, these lines would then be the energy representation of their selves or other-selves on a/the metaphysical plane.
They also correlate well with the massive study during the 60's when lots of people got high doses of LSD and where asked to paint what they saw.
Animals are very good with living in the moment so with the abstract help of 3D entities (us) we can accelerate their spiritual growth. Many has already done so and there's daily updates on animals doing more and beyond what we've so sloppily called 'animal behaviour'.
If it is our evolution triggering theirs or their alone acting, I can't really say. I believe it's a mix, though.
We can absolutely help them to progress spiritually and should.
My thoughts on the matter, anyway =).
