The AP Art History course is equivalent to a two-semester college survey course exploring the nature of art, art making, and responses to art. By investigating specific course content of 250 works of art characterized by diverse artistic traditions from prehistory to the present, students develop in-depth, holistic understanding of the history of art from a global perspective. Students become active participants in the global art world, engaging with its forms and content. They experience, research, discuss, read, and write about art, artists, art making, responses to, and interpretations of art. [College Board, 2020].
This course is specifically designed to challenge learners.Please be mindful that this course is rigorous and you can expect to have homework almost every night.We are preparing for an AP examination on Monday, May 6, 2024, @ 12 PM.

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." Pablo Picasso
