AP Art History Syllabus

This year, I am trying something new! You will complete the Summer Art History Bucket-list. Anyone who completes ALL of the items on the bucket-list will win an Art History prize of their choice. EVERYONE MUST COMPLETE 25 POINTS in order for individuals to receive FULL CREDIT for completing their summer assignment, which will be graded during the first week of school. DO NOT WAIT to complete these assignments. 

Art History students have homework consistently, every night. I have a strict lateness policy. 

YOU MUST SUBMIT your completion of your buck-list items to the Submissions page on this website (STEP 14 for those who did the steps). BE SURE to add your evidence to a google slideshow. No need to add BOTH your additions to the shared google slideshow and your OWN google slideshow. If  you do not give me Editor Access, you will receive a ZERO.
