| This course is equivalent to an introductory college course in art history. No prior experience in the history of art is required. Students will pursue an understanding of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within historical and cultural contexts. Ancient Near Eastern, Greek, Roman, European, and American traditions will constitute ninety percent of the focus of this class. The AP Art History exam consists of both multiple choice and essay questions. One of the essay questions will allow students to show their knowledge of non-European traditions. (refer to the College Board Central website for more specific information on the AP Art History exam.) | |
