Portfolio, Watercolor, Painting, Graphic Arts, Fabric Arts/Batik, Printmaking, Photography I, II, and II/Advanced Photography, Weaving, Ceramics/Pottery Wheel, Metals/Jewelry, Stagecraft/Sculpture and Costume Design.
A.P. Art History is designed to meet the requirements outlined for an introductory college course in Art History: an understanding and knowledge of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within diverse historical and cultural contexts. Students examine major forms of artistic expression from the past and the present from a variety of cultures and learn to look at works of art critically, with intelligence and sensitivity. Students learn strategies of analysis and develop appropriate language for analyzing works of art and architecture. Although some periods of non-western art are studied, emphasis is placed on Western European art. Finally, students are asked to develop a firm understanding of the Elements of Art and Principles of Design as well as to become fluent in the use of fundamental art historical terminology.
