Is this how Inuit art came to be?

Took some photos of melting ice a few minutes ago (yeah, Calgary is in CANADA!), and I started seeing animals. In fact, several of the images had this distinct feeling of Inuit art. Which makes me wonder if that’s where they got their inspiration and style in the first place.

Funny we both posted about Inuit art at about same time on Twitter. The second pic reminds me of an Elk or Caribou all of them are interesting. I think you have a point about their art I believe they used it to reflect or understand their world. Today the artist thinks his job is to lecture or preach about morals or politics. I think generally speaking you would be hard pressed to find a less qualified group of people to lecture about morals than the artists.
