The respect to the rights of indigenous people to own and control their own heritage, such as indigenous images, designs, stories and other cultural expressions or Art materials is very important to the Indegenous society, as some of these expressions or representations are sacred and are sometimes related to spiritual beleives.Secrecy and Confidentiality
Trademarks for products ( ™ ) or Copyrights for art works ( © ) are a way of protecting someone's work or product. Similarly to Indegenous arts, Indegenous peaple's Artworks should automatically be treated or consulted in the same way. However due to Indegenous beliefs some laws or rights had been amended. For example, the rights and art ownwership of a deceased Aboriginal artist cannot be spoken, shown or sell for a certain amount of time, due to the tribe's descision, as beliefs and superstition must be seeked among his Aboriginal community before, as also some of the aboriginal art are also sacred and important for rituals.Moral Rights and Issues

The result of blurring an image used in graphics software, is used typically to reduce image noise and reduce detail. The visual effect of this blurring technique is a smooth blur resembling that of viewing the image through a translucent screen, distinctly different from the bokeh effect produced by an out-of-focus lens or the shadow of an object under usual illumination. Reference ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian blurDIAGONAL
A diagonal is a line joining two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon or polyhedron. Informally, any sloping line is called diagonal. The word "diagonal" derives from the Greek(diagonios),from dia-("across") and gonia ("angle). Reference ;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiagonalCURVING

ABSTRACT ART
Abstract art uses colors and lines to create a composition which may exist from visual references in the world. The logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality also forms part of it. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art allying with changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and sometimes ireal, and it was mainly from western cultures at that time.Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete.Example of an Abstract artist is, James McNeill Whistler.His art, Nocturne in B

ORPHISM
Orphism or Orphic Cubism, was thirst interpretated by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire,(1910-13).It was a little known art movement during the time of Cubism that focused on pure abstraction and bright colors influenced by Fauvism and the dye chemist Eugene Chevreul. This movement were rooted in Cubism but moved toward a pure lyrical abstraction, seeing painting as the bringing together of a sensation of bright colors, this movement retained recognizable subjects but was absorbed by increasingly abstract structures.Chemist Eugene Chevreul. Most famous for discovering margarine, delved in dye chemistry as well as the aesthetics of simultaneous contrast of colors.

FAUVISM
George Braque adopted a Fauvist style,and this even after his earliest works were impressionistic, but after seeing the work exhibited by the Fauves in 1905, will create the Fauvism mouvement.The Fauves is a group that included Henri Matisse and André Derain, two artist who uses brilliant colors and loose structures of forms to capture the most intense emotional response. Braque worked most closely with the artists Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, who shared Braque's hometown of Le Havre, to develop a somewhat more subdued Fauvist style.His works were exhibited in Paris for the first time in a large-scale, museum-like retrospective in September 1907. Two example of other Fauvism artists is Raoul Dufy and Eugene Boudin.

Cubism was a 20th century art movement, directed and influenced by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. It was thirst known as Analytic Cubism, between 1907 and 1911 in France, then as Synthetic Cubism. The movement spreaded and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.English art historian Douglas Cooper describes Cubism in his seminal book The Cubist Epoch. In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, and re-assembled in an abstracted form at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space.Two examples of Cubism Artists ; Pablo Picasso and Georges Bracque.Refference :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubism ; http://www.stevenorton.com/shop/media/Cubism.jpgSTREET ART
Street Artists are normally traditional graffiti artists who have primarily used free-hand aerosol paints to produce their works."Street art" encompasses many other media and techniques, including: LED art, mosaic tiling, murals, stencil art, sticker art, street installations, wheatpasting, woodblocking, video projection, and yarn bombing.Nevertheless, street art is a label often adopted by artists who wish to keep their work unaffiliated and strongly political. Street artists are those whose work is still largely done without official approval in public areas.Typically, the term street art or the more specific post-graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art. Two wellknown street artists are namely : John Feckner and Johnny Thunders.

Pixel art was very often used in older computer and video console games. With the increasing use of 3D graphics in games, pixel art lost some of its use.Drawings usually start with what is called line ars,which are usually traced over scanned drawings and are often shared among other pixel artists. Image filters (such as blurring or alpha-blending) or tools with automatic anti-aliasing are considered not valid tools for pixel art, as such tools calculate new pixel values automatically, contrasting with the precise manual arrangement of pixels associated with pixel art. Two well known Pixel Artists who is actually using that techniques (in mainly bussiness computing purposes ) are namely Microsoft Windows and Nintendo DS.

One explanation maintains that it originates from the Romanian artists Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco's frequent use of the words da, da, which, translated into English is equivalent to yeah, yeah, as in a sarcastic or facetious yeah, right. (Da in Romanian strictly translates as yes), and Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922.The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature,poetry, art manifestoes, theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature. Two well know Dadaim Artists are namely ; Jan Thieler and Ingo Giezendanner.

Space artists may work closely with space scientists and engineers to help them to visualize and develop their scientific and technological concepts making the dream of space exploration a reality. Other forms of pictorial space art bring the viewer to inner visions inspired directly or otherwise by the fruits of the expanding vision of Humanity. Some aspects of such art pay visual homage to outer space, popular ideas of life on other worlds including alien visitation visions, dream symbology, psychedelic imagery and other influences on contemporary visionary art.Space art is a general term for art emerging from knowledge and ideas associated with outer space, both as a source of inspiration and as a means for visualizing and promoting space travel.The first painting to be brought to Earth-orbit was a radiant study of the golden sunlight on a Soviet space station by Russian artist Andrei Sokolov, carried aboard the Soviet Mir space station in the mid 1980s. In 1984 Joseph McShane and in 1989 Lowery Burgess had their conceptual artworks flown aboard the Space Shuttle utilizing NASA's 'Get Away Special' program.
