READING THE AP ART HISTORY COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Greetings. Some time before next week (9/16), please read the AP Art History Course Description from the College Board website. It would take us a long time to go over this in class, so I think you should read it outside of class and ask me any questions you may have when we are at school. Here is the link. If it doesn't work when you click on it, just copy and paste the address into the address bar.

You can skim through a lot of it, but PLEASE read the following sections carefully. You should know this information so that you approach class quizzes, tests, essays, etc. with full knowledge of what is expected of you. 

"How AP Exams are Scored"(page 2)

"Course Content" (page 6)

"College Course Coverage" (page 6)

"THE EXAM" (page 7)

"Section I. Multiple-Choice Questions" (page 7)

"Section I: Part A" (page 8)

"Section II. Free Response Questions" (page 23)

"Section II, Part A: Long Essay Questions" (page 23)

"Section II, Part B: Short Essay Questions"(page 25)

When we have quizzes, tests, and essays in this class, they will be based on prior AP Art History Exam questions. This will help you get comfortable with the exam format and turn you into an art history genius. Amaze your family and friends!

                                          pyramids in Giza, but does NOT recommend going

                                          to Egypt in July unless you really enjoy the heat!
