Ananova:

Art students in China are painting live pigs as part of a new project.

Entitled Unforeseeable: the 2007 Pig Colour Symphony, it involves painted pigs being left to roam at will in a field.

"The painted pigs, when they move around in a limited space, form many unexpected images," a spokesman told the China News Network.

The three students, of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, say they chose pigs as they signify wealth and bring harmony and happiness.
