- Chinese - Describes works created by the people of the same name living in China.
- 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.
- needlework (visual works) - Refers to works done with one or more needles and thread, yarn or cord. The term generally refers to work done by hand. Needlework includes sewing, embroidery, knitting, and other works. Until the 20th century "plain sewing" was the most widely practiced form of needlework in Western cultures. Most females learned basic sewing and knitting, which was used in the construction of clothing and the finishing of household textiles. With the introduction of machine sewing, needlework done by hand was often limited to decorative work.
- needleworking (process) - Refers to any process or technique done with a needle and thread, such as sewing, stitching, smocking, quilting, and embroidery. In common usage, the term is sometimes used to refer to decorative work rather than plain sewing; however, to distinguish more decorative work from plain sewing, it is less ambiguous to use "fancy needlework" or a specific needlework technique, such as "embroidery."
