Course Description:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the rich
traditions of western and non-European architecture, sculpture,
painting and other art forms through factual knowledge
and the skillful use of principles of aesthetics and comparative criticism.
Students will learn how to respond to works of art
with intelligence and sensitivity, examining the major forms
of artistic expression of the past and of distant cultures as well
as those of their own time and environment. Electronic
generated projects are incorporated into the curriculum.
Students will earn college credit by passing an exam written
by the College Board. This course prepares the student to
take the AP Art History exam. The approximate exam cost
is $45 and student supply cost is $25.00.
