Course: Advanced Placement Art History
Course: Advanced Placement Art History
Visual and Performing Arts: Visual Arts
The Advanced Placement Program in the History of Art is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as are provided by an introductory college course in art history: an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within a historical and cultural context. In the course students learn to look at works of art with intelligence and sensitivity, examining the major forms of artistic expression of past cultures, as well as those of our own time and environment. Production experiences will be part of this course. Students who achieve this goal may receive advanced placement and/or credit at many colleges and universities. All students will be expected to maintain a journal/sketchbook.
