'''Australian art''' is a broad spectrum of [[art]] created in or about [[Australia]], or by Australians overseas, spanning from [[Prehistory of Australia|prehistoric]] times to the present day. The art forms include, but are not limited to, [[Indigenous Australian art|Aboriginal]], Colonial, [[Landscape]], [[Atelier Method|Atelier]], and [[Contemporary art]]. 

The visual arts in Australia have a rich and extensive history, with Aboriginal art dating back at least 30,000 years. The country has been the birthplace of many notable artists from both [[Western art|Western]] and [[Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian]] schools. These include the late-19th-century [[Heidelberg School]] plein air painters, the [[Antipodeans]], the Central Australian [[Hermannsburg School]] watercolorists, and the [[Western Desert Art Movement]]. The Australian art scene also features significant examples of [[High modernism]] and [[Postmodern art]].
