AP ART HISTORY

In this course, students examine and critically analyze major forms of artistic expression from the past and present from a variety of cultures. While visual analysis is a fundamental tool of the art historian, art history emphasizes understanding how and why works of art function in context, considering such issues as patronage, gender, and the functions/effects of works of art. All students are required to take the AP Art History Exam in May.

Prerequisite: Passing grade in a previous Art course
