Inuit sculpture

Inuit art often gives an insight on their traditional way of life. Inuit artisans preserve their heritage by depicting their ancestors' lives in paintings and sculptures. Several of the Inuit artworks also portrayed their everyday lives, like hunting. Inuit Art was an essential element of the culture. The materials used for the creation of paintings and sculptures were mostly found objects from everyday objects available in the communities. Inuit knives were carved out of walrus ivory, which was an artwork on its own. Similarly, throughout the Dorset and pre-Dorset culture Inuit art saw a growth of animal and human figurines. Animal figurines generally consisted of carved walruses, bears, and more.

Inuit sculptures are particularly known for their handiwork and excellent craftsmanship. The process of creating these sculptures was complex and took a lot of hard work. Still today after the completion of carving sculptures, artists polish the piece for many hours with waterproof sandpaper so that they attain perfect form and no details are missed.
