The Course
The Art History AP course, under the direction of College Board is designed to allow students to examine major forms of artistic expression relevant to a variety of cultures evident in wide variety of periods from present times into the past. In this course, students acquire an ability to examine works of art critically, with intelligence and sensitivity, and to articulate their thoughts and experiences. The main focus is on European Art, but the course does deal with African, Hindu, South and East Asian, and Islamic Art. Pre-Historic art has now been removed from the curriculum. Students may choose to complement the course with review textbooks.
