1. This book explains thing fairly well minus a few errors in equations and plots. However, the CD has many bugs in it and is pretty much worthless if you are using it for homework or tests. The "Labs" generally do not work and have had to be reprogrammed multiple time. The "exams" section in the CD has many wrong answers and has also had to be reprogrammed. Unless you are taking this course from one of the 3 authors don't bother with the CD because it is far too much work to fix everything.

4 comments about Original Sin: The Visionary Art of Joe Coleman.

1. Nothing can prepare you for a Joe Coleman painting if you've never seen one before-- the beauty of these works will literally rip your eyeballs from your skull. With a scholarly, yet fierce courage Coleman reinvents the characters and scenes he portrays, with a technical skill which borders on the supernatural. In a recent show in Rotterdam, Coleman's work was hung beside those of Hieronymus Bosch, a deserved honor.

   The essays in this book are excellent, describing Coleman's ground-breaking history as a performance artist as well as a painter. The design of the book by Katharine Gates is beautiful, and enhances appreciation of Coleman's work. I recommend this book to anyone who cares about art in the early 21st Century (or the 15th Century for that matter!).

3. Joe Coleman is represented in other books, but the essays in this book , along with the reproductions, give the viewer an intimate glimpse into the twisted and detailed paintings of joe coleman! a bargain!



4. Unique work that is overlooked. All work has a very narrative-illustrative style. Srong line quality, color and composition. For a viewer with the ability to explore.

1 comments about How Artists See Animals : Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile.

1. Eye catching, interesting, imaginative, and inspiring. These are things that hold a young persons attention and give them the interest to pursue art. Colleen Carroll has collected a fine group of art pieces that does all of these, plus her writing of the art and the artists help young people see not only animals, but everything in a different way. She asks many questions to help a child think and imagine. I think this is a fantastic book that should be in every child's library,even if most of the artists in the book are dead..... oh...except for me! My painting is on page 32.

1. This has to be one of the better books I have purchased in a long time. From start to finish I saw truly great photographs of women who truly arent afraid to speak thier minds and take off thier clothes! If your a fan of industrial/satanic culture, then pick this up, you won't regret it!

1. This book is helpful in identifying pieces, and learning some early history, but of course the prices are very outdated. The photography isn't of the best quality, and in some cases, unprofessional looking for a book, but still interesting and helpful. There were some inconsistencies in the text and errors with Pottery names, but I think it's worth owning if you are a yellow ware collector.

1 comments about Rich Larson's Haunted House of Lingerie Volume 2.

1. To simply be blunt this so-called novel is just porn on paper for any thirteen year old boy who happens to his hands on it. This should be a good topic for disscusion at the author's next the therapy session.
