The course is updated for current AP curriculum requirements and is a finishing course for many high school students, bringing together math, science, social studies, English and foreign language that spans the school curriculum.
The course encourages students to observe objects closely, not only for their aesthetic beauty, but also for what the object reveals about the society, time and culture that produced it. To this end, the student brings with him or her all their travel experiences, cultural background, and knowledge of literature and history to bear on each pertinent object.
This synthesis is one of the strengths of teaching a course like this: everyone in the class has something personal to contribute, to explain, to interpret. Students are taught that art analysis is the key to understanding the function works of art play in society. Besides the traditional formal analysis usually taught in art history classes, students will be exposed to new interpretations based on such subjects as context, biographical criticism, and cross-cultural influences.
Disciplines such as archaeology, curator and restoration will be explored as they impact on art historical thought. Students in art history need to know a great many facts about works of art, but equally important they learn to interpret, understand and analyze works that have been considered, or will one day be considered, classics.
Content covers periods of Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and Non-Western Art bringing together social studies, English and foreign language that spans the school curriculum.
