Art History
AP®
Art History is a
Fine Arts elective open to all students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. AP® Art History is a year long survey course designed to provide
the same benefits as those provided by an introductory college course in art
history: an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting,
photography and other art forms within a historical, social, and cultural
context. No prior experience in art history is assumed, and the course is well
supported with an on line study guide. However,
because the course is designed to meet college standards, a high degree of motivation,
commitment to academic
work, and interest in
the subject matter are key criteria for student success.
A college-level text, Art History, by Marilyn Stokstad, is
provided to each student for use at home. Additional copies of the text, as well
as supplemental texts, are available for use in the classroom. As class time
will be used for Socratic discussion and student-centered learning activities,
students will be required to do extensive reading, research and written
assignments outside of the classroom.
This
course is intended to prepare students for the AP® Art History Exam. The art
history course offers a chronological survey of Western art from the dawn of
civilization to the present time. There
is an effort to involve students with images and ideas that lie outside the
Western tradition, however, the larger context in which these images are
discussed is Western. The fall term covers art from the Paleolithic through
Early Renaissance era. The spring term before the AP® Art History Exam covers
Renaissance Art in Sixteenth-Century through the Twentieth Century.
After the Exam contemporary trends and ideas are explored and students
research art exhibitions to plan and host the CHS Annual Student Art Exhibition.
Content
knowledge and skills gained in this course support student achievement of the State
Content Standards for the Visual Arts. The following Visual Arts Standards
will be stressed in this course:
1.4 Research two periods of
painting, sculpture, film or other media and discuss their similarities and
differences, using the language of the arts.
3.2 Identify contemporary artists
worldwide who have achieved regional, national, or international recognition and
discuss ways in which their work reflects, plays a role in, and influences
present-day culture.
3.3 Investigate and discuss
universal concepts expressed in artwork from diverse cultures.
3.4 Research the methods art
historians use to determine the time, place, context, value and culture that
produced a given work of art.
4.1 Describe the relationship
involving the art maker (artist), the making (process), the artwork (product),
and the viewer.
4.2 Identify the intentions of
artists creating contemporary artworks and explore the implications of those intentions.
4.3 Analyze and articulate how
society influences the interpretation and message of artwork.
5.2 Compare and contrast artwork,
probing beyond the obvious and identifying psychological content found in the
symbols and images.
There
are seven basic course objectives. (1)
An emphasis will be placed on visual literacy, the ability to apply art
historical methods to the students’ visual environment so that students
understand how images encode social ideologies. (2) The student will learn to
suspend judgment when looking at works of art, developing critical thinking
skills by considering the assumptions they bring to an evaluation and learning
how to gather evidence before launching into opinions. (3) Students will learn a
canon of western images and be able to understand the basic problems and flux of
that canon. (4) Students will be encouraged to not only appreciate works of art
from other cultures but also understand them on the aesthetic criteria of those
cultures. (5) Students will learn how art history, being a discipline
emphasizing social context, is a field of study that makes connections among
many other disciplines. (6) Students will be encouraged to be travelers who seek
the intellectual and emotional joys of aesthetic experiences. (7) Students will
learn how art mediates all types of human experiences.

prepared to participate in the daily learning discussions and activities.
To help students organize and plan their study time, a monthly agenda is
provided on the CHS homework web page which outlines approximate due dates for
assignments and assessments.
To
ensure the classroom is conducive to learning, the following rules and
consequences will be strictly maintained:
Rules: 1) Students will follow all school
rules. 2) Students will bring all required supplies to class and be in their
assigned seat working when the bell rings. 3) Students will know when to talk.

and a parent conference will be requested.
Note: The order of the
consequences may change due to the severity of the infraction.
Grading Policy:
This
course is graded on an accumulated point system.
Advanced Placement Art History is an interactive
lecture/discussion class. Attendance, completion of reading & analysis assignments, and
participation in class discussion are extremely important in comprehending the
substantial material presented in this course.
Analytical writing will be stressed, as writing is an integral component
of the AP® Art History Examination. To
perform well, students must be able to express their ideas using the language of
art in a clear, precise, analytical, and descriptive manner. To help students
develop their writing skills, instruction and strategies in stylistic and
comparative analysis will be provided using short-answer writings and a research
paper. Students' progress will be
evaluated using visual, verbal, and written examinations in a variety of
formats, including timed- multiple choice, slide identification, and short &
long-answer essays to strengthen the student's ability to write under pressure. All
exams in this course will follow a testing format similar to those used in the AP®
Exam.
Criteria for Final Semester

Worksheets 25%, In-class & Take-home reading based Short & Long Essay
Questions/Quizzes 25%, Chapter & Final Exams (Comprehensive Multiple Choice,
Artwork Identification Short answer essay questions) 25%, Class Participation
15%, and Researched Papers or Writing Assignments 10%.
At each of the 5-week marking
periods, points are totaled, an average found, and a letter grade given
according to the following:
90 -100% = A
80 - 89% = B
70 - 79% = C
60 - 69% = D
less than 60%= Fail
Absences, Late Work, and Extra Credit:
It
is the student's responsibility to make up any lesson missed during an
absence from class. The student
must pick-up missed handouts/assignments from the class tray, and/or copy missed
notes or directions from other students. Due
to the substantial amount of required information covered in this course, the
teacher will not re-teach missed concepts during the regular class period or allow
make-up quizzes. To
accommodate illness and unforeseen emergencies, missed exams may be
re-scheduled after school the first Wednesday following the student's return
to school.
To
receive full credit, all assignments must be placed in the turn-in drawer
at the beginning of the class period on the due date unless otherwise instructed
by the teacher. Late work is not
accepted unless otherwise stated by the teacher.
All accepted late assignments and late exams will receive a 10% penalty.
Approved late assignments will be accepted through the following grading period
with an additional 10% per day late penalty. All assignments and exams
must be completed or received before the cut off date of the current
grading period to be included in the points for that period. If received
after the cut off date, points will be counted in the next grading period with
the exception of the final grading period (20 week) for the semester.
Extra
credit may be assigned by the teacher and is only acceptable if ALL
the student's regular assignments have been completed with competency.
Extra credit is additional exploration of the assigned concepts and
cannot be done in place of regular assignments.
This
is a tentative schedule of the activities and assessments planned for this AP
Art History course. In order to
take advantage of learning opportunities that may present themselves throughout
the year, this schedule is subject to change by the teacher without notice.
While learning activities and assessments may change, the overall
concepts, objectives, and standards will remain constant.
