APAH

Hey, welcome to the blog! It's gonna be a fantastic year in AP Art History! An incredible journey chronicling the history of the world through art. It involves politics, drama, religion, battles, personal realtionships, geography, intrigue and much more!!Sounds like a reality show! Nah, it's way better! It also involves lotsa reading, note-taking and dedication, and if you're up to that it also involves a lotta fun!!

It's gonna be a busy first week - we'll be getting into the basics of art history: what art historians wonder about, how we talk about art and more! Plus, you're getting your personal edition of "Gardner's Art Through the Ages" AND Stokstad's "Art History", our two totally artsome textbooks. They're heavy!

Remember to return those contact cards and forms by week's end, it's for a grade. Also,don't forget that your Art Criticism research HW is due Friday, and Chap.1 notes (it's a short chapter) are due Monday.
