AP Art History covers the entire expanse of human artistic expression. This is why the College Board created a list of 250 works of art and architecture for learners to analyze in preparation for the exam.
Understanding and remembering the artistic style, materials used, and cultural relevance of 250 works of art could be challenging for some. AP Art History, like other AP history courses, emphasizes analysis, comparison, research, and writing skills. Learners should be able to analyze sources, present a historically defensible argument, and defend that argument.
There is tons of information that is covered with our 250 images and supporting comparison images in our curriculum. Students will have to rely heavily on their ability to take notes in order to retain the information and be able to study as we get closer to the testing date May 6,2024. In order to facilitate their recall of the various Artist, Styles, Cultures, Religions, Historical Themes and Mediums covered in our course an Interactive Notebook is a requirement and as such is scored as a TEST Grade for Every Unit. It serves multiple purposes; as a means to balance Unit Test grades, study material, and chronological clarification from the various parts of the world.
