Why and how does art change? How do we describe our thinking about art? These questions invite AP Art History students to discover the diversity of and connections among global artistic traditions. Students interact with different types of art, observing and analyzing relationships of form, function, content, and context. Actively engaging with the art world through their reading, discussion, research, and writing, they learn about the visual characteristics of art, the people who make and experience art, materials and processes that create art, and the contexts that frame its production and reception.  \nTwo hundred fifty representative works of art spanning prehistory to the present comprise the course content, providing a common knowledge base. This supports focused, intensive learning about these artworks, as well as about additional works of art selected by teachers and students themselves. AP Art History students study functions and effects of art and consider influential forces like belief, class, gender, ethnicity, patronage, and politics in their critical analyses of art forms, investigating how humans respond to the world and communicate their experiences through art making. They examine chronology, styles, techniques, and themes to compare, contrast, and interpret art forms from varied perspectives and cultures. AP Art History students also develop a keen understanding of art historical skills: what they are and how they are learned and applied to course content. Students can use the curriculum framework as a personal roadmap to success.  \nManaging Breadth of Content and Increasing Depth of Understanding  \nIn the past, many traditional art history survey classes required students to memorize vast amounts of information gleaned from the instructor and textbook. Teachers drilled students on a wide range of content that only minimally addressed global artistic traditions. Excessive content didn’t allow time for students to develop in-depth understanding of individual works of art, of relationships among works of art and cultures, or of the philosophical underpinnings of the discipline of art history. The redesigned AP Art History course and exam are intended to  \nhelp teachers engage students more deeply in exploring, understanding, and interpreting works of art. The curriculum framework clearly delineates what students need to know and how they can demonstrate their understanding in the context of the exam.  \nAP Art History Course and Exam Description  \nReturn to Table of Contents  \n© 2015 The College Board  \n175  \nTeaching AP Art History  \nToday’s AP Art History students are guided by teachers to conduct personal investigations of works of art, accessing an ever-increasing array of scholarly resources available in texts and through the Web. Thoroughly understanding a work such as Templo Mayor requires an investment of time to explore multiple perspectives and draw on a variety of resources. Students, with their teachers’ help, consider related works created before and after Templo Mayor was built, works that influenced and were influenced by Templo Mayor, and art forms related by form, function, or content while perhaps distant in chronology and geography. Through this process, students develop intimate and relational understandings of other works of the Aztec and the Americas, other examples of architecture and sculpture, and other works that reflect themes of power, belief, and conquest. Such study leads to holistic understanding of how and why art making is an enduring human pursuit.  \nThe redesigned AP Art History course:  \n▶ engages students at the same level as a college art history survey, helping them develop skills in visual, contextual, and comparative analysis  \n▶ effectively prepares students to earn credit and/or placement into college and university art history courses  \n▶ pro","cbCaigF4sa6JUdVd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigF4sa6JUdVd","pdf",454885,16,"English","# Introduction\n## AP Art History Course Overview\n## Managing Breadth of Content and Increasing Depth of Understanding\n## AP Art History Course and Exam Description\n# Organizing the AP Art History Course","[{\"question\":\"What learning approach does the AP Art History course promote?\",\"answer\":\"Students conduct personal investigations of artworks by accessing a wide range of scholarly resources and exploring multiple perspectives.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the course content structured?\",\"answer\":\"The course content includes 250 representative works from global prehistory to the present, organized into 10 geographic and chronological designations.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes does the redesigned course make compared with older survey classes?\",\"answer\":\"It shifts away from memorizing large volumes of information toward deeper understanding through a coherent conceptual framework and the application of defined art-historical skills.\"}]","Teaching AP Art History | PDF",1789894470]
