- 21st Century
- Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
- Native American - Typically refers to the culture of the aboriginal peoples of the western hemisphere, particularly the native peoples of North America, excluding the Eskimos and Aleuts. It may also be used more broadly to refer to the culture of any native peoples of North America, Central America, South America, or the West Indies who are considered to belong to the Mongoloid division of the human species. In usage in the United States, the term "Amerindian" is often used for this broader meaning, with "Native American" reserved for the cultures of the native peoples of the United States and Canada, excluding the Eskimos and Aleuts. Indigenous peoples of Canada use the term "First Nations" to refer to their own communities; they often use it in a broader sense to refer to all indigenous peoples of the Americas.
- Navajo
- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
- relief prints - Prints made using a process of relief printing.
