I know what I wouldn't do.
I wouldn't give a human woman and dolphin man LSD in a shallow pool meant to look like an apartment while having the human give the dolphin hand jobs.

You'd be correct in your caution, as it just so happens that was all tried, to disastrous results.
Dance!
It doesn't create a permanent product like the things you mentioned, but it's definitely a method of artistic expression =)
But that's kind of what I'm looking for, permanent products.
Are you planning to build an aquarium by any chance?
id teach them how to jump super high over humans heads and shit on them like a bird. Let them express their distaste for people they dont like.
That's nice but that's a performance art, the "arts" as opposed to a work of art.
the shit is their paint and we are their canvass
What about interpretive dance? Or synchronized water ballet?
That's art but not the same kind I was asking/wondering about. That's more performative art, or "the arts", than the kind of thing you'd learn to form in an art class.
Dolphin paintings are for sale here:
Yeah, but they teach them to do that outside the water, in environments specially made so they have no issue with it. I mean modes of expressive artistry that can be done while under the water, in their natural niche. Think, what can you teach a dolphin that they can take with them back to the wild and maybe teach to younger dolphins?
I'm sure, for example, if there were crops that grew underwater, they could make their own crop circles.
They could stack rocks to create a mosaic.
Wikipedia says that they "lack short wavelength sensitive visual pigments in their cone cells", so they don't see blue as well as we do... Which isn't surprising really.
I think a synchronized dance where they swim in cool patterns and interesting movements would be a good form of expression. They can flex their z axis movements.
Rainbow Nose Condoms. I'm sure they will express themselves, especially if they have the microsoft logo.
I'd introduce the concept to them of making sculptures from the remains of other creatures by snagging the bones together.
Ah, I understand
Water paint
Wouldn't the paint particles float/wash away?
And the real reason why the ocean is blue is revealed.
