This course offers the serious student an opportunity to explore in depth, the history of art from ancient times to the present, increasing their knowledge of world history to a college level understanding of Art History. Through readings, research, digital images, videos and museum visits, students will view significant artworks from around the world.  Writing skills will be important in the description, analysis, and comparison of these works. Visual analysis is an integral part of activities/assignments. Students are expected to create visual and written record of content, observations, online collaborative class discussion on significant historical events, art periods/styles, specific artworks and issues/themes that connect these artworks in the form of a personalized online gallery, as well as additional assignments and online resources.  


Field Trip Requirement: AP requires a field trip to see actual works included in the AP Art History curriculum.  Students will be required to attend the field trip and need to cover the cost of transportation and admission.  Cost will be calculated once the number of students and the cost of the vehicle and admission have been determined.     


*Note: Practice exams are not available in an online format or permitted outside of a secure classroom setting. Practice exam locations and times will be announced and will be required in addition to the online course requirements.
