Tefteller's AP Art History

You are about to embark on a year long adventure that is destined to change your life...if you allow it. 
AP Art History is based around 3 BIG IDEAS:
​

What is art and how is it made?
Why and how does art change?
How do we describe our thinking about art?

How often have you looked at a work of art and liked it but didn't know why?  Or knew it was famous, but didn't understand what everyone else saw in it that made it so?  Every day we see art that we are asked to "decode" with limited or no knowledge at all.  

AP Art History will teach us to unwrap, to reveal, to make the exotic and unknown available. 
Overview: 
Advanced Placement Art history is a college level course that enables students to apply decision-making, analytical and problem-solving skills that will facilitate rational, effective lifelong learning.  Students who successfully complete the requirements can request credit from the college or university they will attend.  Credit will be awarded upon passing the AP Art History exam by the AP College Board.

​BIG IDEA 1: Artists manipulate materials and ideas to create an aesthetic object, act, or event.         
  • What is art and how is it made?           
  • Materials (Environment/Geography)             
  • Art making techniques             
  • Why make art? (Function)
BIG IDEA 2: Art making is shaped by tradition and change.         
  • Why and how does art change?             
  • What features/changes of a tradition do you see?             
  • Why was the art influential?
BIG IDEA 3: Interpretations of art are variable.         
  • How do we describe our thinking about art?             
  • What are the formal qualities and content of the art?             
  • What is the context of the art? (context = differing interpretations)         
  • What attributes of a work can we attribute to other works of art?      (similarities and differences?)
