Description: The AP Art History course will provide students with an in-depth knowledge of art works and architectural
sites across times and cultures. The new APAH course saw a significant reduction in the number of required works – this
will afford students a more immersive learning experience. ‘Western’ as well as ‘Global’ art pieces will illustrate the human
need to create Art throughout time and places. Slideshows, films, group discussions, research papers and presentations,
hands-on studio projects, quizzes, and exams will comprise the coursework. The overarching theme and design of the
course will be preparation for the Advanced Placement exam.
