Prerequisite: Consent of Instructor or Division Head Approval
The advanced placement offering in Art History is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as those provided by an introductory college course in art history; an understanding and knowledge of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within diverse historical and cultural contexts. In the course, students examine and critically analyze major forms of artistic expression from the past and present from a variety of cultures. While visual analysis is the fundamental tool of the art historian, art history also emphasizes understanding works in context, considering issues as patronage, gender, and the functions and effects of works of art.
