We analyzed the drawing by subject, the activities, and how they made us feel. We tried to analyze the artist’s technique and tools and how they contributed to the overall atmosphere of the piece. We also tried to analyze it historically based on the limited biographical information we had on the artist. He was most likely an Inuit, and thus we assumed the painting portrayed a part of life from the culture. If we had more background information about Pootoogook, we might have better understood his intent when working on the piece.
