Ancient Indian Art

Ancient Indian art mainly involved architecture , paintings and sculptures. These art forms are an expression of people who belong to different cultural and social groups of India. It is the expression of people whose life is tuned to the rythms of nature and its laws of cyclic change and whose life is knotted with natural energy.

I think that most of Indian art is somewhat relevant to a God or higher power, and play a great importance in their culture.

Indigenous Aboriginal Body Art

Aboriginal body art is a very old tradition among the Australian aborigines. Aboriginal cultural practices and meaning/significance vary between Aboriginal tribes and their geographic location. This also applies to body art and body painting. 

Aboriginal body art

The art of body decoration includes scarring, face and body painting for ritual, wearing of ornaments, and the transformation of the body using added texture and headdresses to form living images of ancestral beings.

Ancient Chinese Art

Chinese art has "Three Perfections" - calligraphy, poetry and painting. The artists uniquely combine the Three Perfections to present a harmonious whole, though some of these style artworks were worked on by more than one artist.

Personally, I believe that these paintings hold significant meaning and along with the development of printing, became central to a great burst of intellectual activity in the 11th century in China.
