In Quit Identity: The Demonstrative Of Inuit Culture

Native American culture was a great influence on newly introduced western art when settlers first came to North America. Not only did Native Americans have their own style of art, sculpture, basket weaving, and other fine arts. Their artistic styles helped influence some European art and gave them a different outlook on not only art itself, but a brand new culture that they have not seen before. This paper will talk about the different styles of Native American art and compare it to European art styles and artist, as well as going into detail about how their culture influenced artistic styles.

The artwork is different and unique. They made artwork of arctic animals, people, spirits. Like, polar bears, the chief, and the gods they believe in. The housing is also different. They live in igloos, tents, and Inuvialuit houses. Igloos are made of ice. Tents are made of wood and animal hide. Also, Inuvialuit houses are made of wood, dirt, and hides. They also ate different foods. The Inuit ate Hooded Seal, Beluga Whale, Walrus, Narwhal, Caribou, Polar Bear, Musk Oxen, Arctic Fox, Arctic Hare, and the Arctic Bird. The Inuit are different.

In Nancy Marie Mithlos essay, “No Word For Art in Our Language”. Mithlo explores the various reasons as to why American Indigenous art lacks an infrastructure and theoretical basis. Mithlo theorizes the reason Indigenous art lacks these necessary supports is due to three strategies used by the Native art community. Mithlos first theory discusses that the phrase “ No word for art in our language” perpetuates harmful behaviour within the Native community in the discussion of arts and stereotyping of Native art. Mithlos first example of why this is harmful is the original beginnings of the phrase from Jamake Highwater’s book “The Primal mind” wherein Jamake expresses his belief that because expression and experience is so ingrained in the native

The Kwakiutl Indian tribe existed before the discovery of North America by the European culture and inhabited the coast of the Pacific Northwest of the United States and British Columbia in Canada. The tribe is rich in tradition and culture and has remained steadfast in their beliefs, history, teachings and artisan skills which have been passed down generation to generation. The artisans in the Kwakiutl tribe mastered the art of creating special ceremonial masks that are not only beautiful and aesthetically interesting to the eye, but also mechanically intriguing in which the masks serve a specific purpose to a theme during different ceremonies that are conducted by tribal specialists during certain times throughout the year.

In the act of understanding the diverse state of white settlement’s immense impingement on contemporary indigenous art practice; questions of identity and culture begin to arise. The historical legacy of indigenous art emphasises the cardinal importance for the continued tradition through the indigenous community, the contemporary indigenous artist acting as a holder of the continued practice. Though modernity, the artist is left to

They could make “the world and the waters with beats of wings”, as the Inuits thought, or build

Haida architecture evolved from artistic necessity. As isolated island people they had few resources to trade. They relied on their reputation for artistic design and excellent craftsmanship amongst the mainland tribes to trade for the resources they needed. This research essay explores the culture, climate and material resources of the Haida Gwaii (Haida People) First Nation of British Columbia, Canada.

In this essay, I will compare and contrast two different sculptures from two different contexts of art. The first being an Olmec Colossal head (monument 1), from the context of “Art of the Americas,” and the second sculpture being ahead from Rafin Kura. The head from Rafin Kura comes from the context of “Art of Africa.” Both sculptures come from two different time periods and parts of the world. They also are both made with natural materials and have their own symbolic meaning.

The people of Inuit, Yup’ik, Unangan, and other Native Americans Indians have lived in the harshest environment on Earth from Siberia, across Alaska and Canada, and to the East of Greenland along the coast of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. From Labrador to the interior of Alaska the Athapaskan, Cree, Innu, and other Native’s people lived in the subarctic region of the land. These people had the ability to depend on their years of knowledge of the sky, ice, ocean, land, and animal behaviors in order to survive. Living in the area that was vast and dealing with seasonal dynamic extremes these Native people of the Artic and Subarctic had a honorable endurance for an millennia of exchanged goods, ceremonies, and shared feasts with neighboring goods that has help them throughout the years.

The Inuit Tribe has uses for everything they kill or harvest. Inuit women would use animal skins to make clothing and blankets. They would also use animal skins to make kayaks and boats ( Sontella 20). The Inuits would also make sculptures out of animal bone. In Figure 1 below, there is a sculpture made out of animal bone or a certain type of

The Inuit art played a very important role in the their culture. They used all their resources they could to make art, but as today they are getting low or scarce of the resources that they could get easily before. The resources are getting scarce because of the recent problem with the weather changes. They used

Betrayal, loss, and forgiveness are common themes amongst the Inuit legend of Lumaajuuq (an adaptation of The Blind Boy and the Loon) and the history of FNMI peoples. Inequity is something faced continuously and that has its struggles to be brought forward and addressed. The story of Lumaajuuq grasps all of these concepts and brings them forward beautifully, addressing the problems of the FNMI peoples through an artistic concept and with hidden links and connections within a broken relationship of a boy and his mother.

The Inuit People The word Eskimo is not a proper Eskimo word. It means "eaters of raw meat" and was used by the Algonquin Indians of eastern Canada for their neighbours who wore animal-skin clothing and were ruthless hunters. The name became commonly employed by European explorers and now is generally used, even by them. Their own term for themselves is Inuit which means the "real people."

African art has played an important role in the culture of the world. The sculpture is the most common traditional culture expression for the African art. The different sculptures are shown by their local styles and they serve for the specific functions, such as religion. From some of these old art pieces, we figure out this kind of traditional culture expression already existed in the African for such a long time. In this paper, the art piece I am going to analyze is the Female Figure with Child and it made by Akan-Asante people. The Akan people of Ghana have been recognized for their various and attractive culture and it located in what are today Ivory Coast and the republic of Ghana in Western African. The Akan people are combined by different groups, such as the Anyi, Akawpim, Akyem, Aowin and Asante, and these people have their own dialect, but they share a lingua franca, which called Twi. The sculpture I choose could effectively reflect its own distinctive culture, because of the social connection reflect on the royalty, the comparison with other local art pieces, like Akuaba fertility dolls and its specific art form.

The brief for this assignment is as I see it to research more than 8 carving cultures and to explain the impact of social and cultural belief on art practice. To present research material in the correct form and record citations and bibliography correctly. This information is based on the question.
