Course Description
In the AP Art History course, learners explore the interconnections among culture, art and historical context through the critical analysis of art, culture and purpose. Through the use of a defined art historical skill set and reflective learning, learners analyze relationships across cultures with a global lens. The examination of how people have responded to and communicated their experiences through art will enable learners to think conceptually about art ranging from prehistory to contemporary. Learners are active participants, engaging with art and its context as they read, research and collaborate to learn about art, artists, art making and responses to and interpretations of art. The AP Art History course is structured around three big ideas, three essential questions, 12 learning objectives and 10 content areas outlined within the College Board Advanced Placement Art History framework. Each content area is represented by a prescribed image set and essential knowledge statements that provide required contextual information to serve as a foundation and catalyst for learners within the course. The intention is for learners to explore art in its historical and cultural contexts. AP Art History is a college-level course. This course contains artwork of a mature nature that may include depictions of violence, nudity and other suggestive content.
