Course Description

TPS AP Art History focuses on the history of art from ancient times to the present in both the European tradition as well as works that were created in different cultures. Through readings, research, class lectures and presentations, and online museum visits, students will study significant artworks from around the world. Students will write essays on the description, analysis, and comparison of these works. Students will study the connection of art to world religious and philosophical traditions, as well as changing societal needs, to provide the framework for learning about a diverse canon of artworks. This class will explore ways art and architecture facilitate worship and express the values of a culture. Through observation and reflection we gain understanding, begin to see connections as well as differences, and perceive deeper purposes and themes.
