Book Description
This introductory exploration of basic artistic concepts and terms applies them to a skeletal multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural history of artistic styles. It treats all the arts—painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, music, theatre, dance, film, architecture, literature—uniformly, and uses a common outline to reinforce the relationship of terms and concepts to the perceptual process. The book also ties both artistic media and history to the theme of art as a reflection of human reality This examination focuses on the media of the arts, pictures, sculpture, music, theatre, cinema, dance, architecture, literature, the styles of the arts, ancient approaches, artistic reflections in the pre-modern world, as well as artistic styles in the emerging modern world and, the beginnings of modernism, pluralism in a post-modern age. For art enthusiasts and others interested exploring how artists express themselves.

Paint it Slow!.......2006-02-09
I have read three previous Louis Kincaid novels and have found them to be cutting edge. This one lacks that quality. After his ordeal in Michigan, Louis is asked to come to Florida by a friend to investigate the murder of an African American man. As he investigates, more murders in like fashion occur. As Louis searches for the murderer, he is joined by a rookie F.B.I. forensic psychologist. Territory disputes and the requisite tension between investigators ensue. The ending is a ho-hum conclusion to a ho-hum novel.
Easy to like........2003-05-24
In "Paint It Black" Florida author P.J. Parrish brings protagonist Louis Kincaid to Soreno Key in the Sunshine State.
Louis Kincaid's former cop boss has hooked Louis up with a local lawyer for some investigative work.
His attempt to clear his client of murder leads to a search for a serial killer.
Louis and the Soreno Key PD work well together and are joined by a feisty, rookie FBI profiler. This alliance is further strengthened as they attempt to prevent an incompetent county sheriff from botching the investigation.
This is an efficient police procedural filled with nifty twists and turns. I bit on enough of the subtle red herrings to remain in doubt until the conclusion.
"Paint It Black" is nominated for this year's Anthony Award in the Paper Back Original category. Well deserved!
This is a smart series with a strong lead character; solid secondary characters and now set in Southwest Florida.
I look forward to the further adventures of Louis Kincaid.
MYSTERY:BIRACIAL KILLER OF COPS.......2003-03-02
Slow moving at first but graduallypicks up speed, If you don't putit down, it will flow smoothlyuntil you can't put it down!Louis Kincaid is a black ex-cophired by wife of man found brutally stabbed to death, facebeaten to a pulp with traces ofblack spray paint. The scene is one of the Florida Keys; if you'vebeen there you know the beauty ofthem. Police chief Dan Wainwrightcalls for help from the FBI butfeels insulted when a profilershows up. Several more cases turnup before they finally decide thekiller is a light colored biracialperson and try to find out hisreason for the killings. A bit ofpsychology involves the problemsfaced by some biracial people.Interesting theories and smartdetective work.
Great Read!.......2002-09-27
In Paint it Black, we once again catch up with Louis Kincaid, this time he's in Florida hunting a vicious serial killer who murders black men in a violent, ritualistic fashion. Louis must overcome the demons in his past, as well as those in his police chief's in order to hunt the killer down.
Loved It!.......2002-05-24
P.J. Parrish continues to entertain with her police procedurals featuring Louis Kincaid. The pace was good, the story was good, and the suspense was great. I highly recommend.

Colorful, Cute, Innocent.......2007-09-13
A wide variety of pleasing colors, many pages, and cute innocent illustrations made this book a favorite for me and my daughter. She savored each page, making the book last for months. Before painting, take the selected page out of the book!

Arminita's Paintbox.......2000-12-11
In 1847 Araminta and her family are traveling from Boston to California in this delightful story. Stopping in Scranton, Pennsylvania, her uncle gives her a beautiful paint box that later tumbles out of their wagon. The paintbox passes into many hands from a riverboat gambler, to a young wife then, on to a Mormon family. This female historical narrative tells in a entertaining way the story of westward expansion to a young audience. The soft pastel-like watercolor illustration are beautiful.

Easy, intriguing, and different artistic projects........1997-11-14
This is my 6yr. old daughter's favorite book. She would do a project everyday if her mother would cooperate! Many things she can do alone, for others she needs help. Enough depth to make it fun for me as well. We especially like 'painting' with melted crayons. Really intense colors, and an amazingly simple, safe technique.
Book Description
Soon-to-be readers can practice word recognition as they color and paint their very own Dick and Jane pictures. With paint AND crayons included, this Dick and Jane activity book will provide hours of entertainment.
