AP Art History explores the nature of art, its uses, its meanings, art-making, and responses to art. Through investigation of diverse artistic traditions of cultures from prehistory to the present, the course fosters in-depth and holistic understanding of the history of art from a global perspective. Students will explore works of art in a 250-image set supplied by the College Board, as well as additional supplementary works, applying essential art historical skills of identification and categorization through visual, contextual, and comparative analysis.
This course aligns with the College Board’s learning goals for AP Art History.
