Eskimos To Draw :

By ARCH MacKENZIE

OTTAWA (CPl — A lot of Eskimos laughed when Terry Ryan stopped his dog team at remote hunting camps in north Baffin Island and handed out dreams pounds and paper.

"They nearly fell over when they learned that 1’ had come just to give them this pencil and paper and the usual re- sponse was: '1 can‘t draw.‘ "

But Mr. Ryan. now finished wlth this phase of ll special project, feels it was all worth-

while as an exercise in artistic =

etimulation among a talented peopled. He has about 500 draw-

inns and sketches to show for g .

Mr. Ryan bachelor born in Toronto who.

ﬁrst went north in 1956 as a federal weather observer. For the last three years he has been secretary and art adviser in the

West Baffin Eskimo (‘n npelr'l- ‘ Wm

the which. among other things. markets the distinctive. distin- guished Eskimo stone cuts and prints produced by Capo Dorset peoples.

He's an artist himself. with a Toronto exhibition to his credit last. year and another pending. Most of his work ha featured Arctic themes, especi ally landscapes. ENCOURAGE DRAWING

He reported back to Ottawa

recently. tanned and trim. on a project which is backed With a Canada Council grant—one of six projects providing a total of $8.000 to encourage the Eskimo to draw:

Mr, Ryan set out, in February to visit Arctic Bay, Pond Inlet and Clyde River on the norm- ern end of Baffin Island. whose

eastern flank faces Greenland. f three communities num- bering about 600 people in their areas lie about 500 miles apart ' land Pond Inlet. in the centre. is 2.000 miles north of Toronto The trip by dog team was routine to old-hand Ryan, 31-. though even the Eskimos com- plained about the unusually cold iweather which produced tem-I‘ peratllres of 50 below zero in; .March when a little relief at Ileast is expected. Mr. Ryan passed out the pa- 3 per and pencils on one trip and I 1 then picked up the results a few weeks later on his way back i 1He got mostly black-and-white- I‘drawings although he had dis- ‘ , some colored pencils. b 4 Variety was inﬁnite. He tends jto place more value on the. lcontributions of the older peo- 1pie, some of whom he expects ‘ ' keep drawing for the fun of it. He left an agent in each area to collect any further I drawings. 1 "The older people are less [concerned about giving you the lkind of drawing that they think jyou might want—-they are less iderivative to that extent," Mr ; 1 Ryan said. " 1' Some of the drawings are de- tailed work of the area's dis-' tinctively styled parkas. pants: and other fur, skin and cloth; apparel. 1 1 Some drawings crudely dis-i play hunting scenes and there 1 jare some landscapes too—a de. parture from drawings trends‘ lin Cape Dorset farther south. l Ryan plans to sift through 3

’ Mr the drawings he has collected.‘ :Then he probably will compile- ithe best in a book. 1
