Hey guys, I'm taking AP Art History this year and I'm looking for some advice on how to study effectively. What kind of practice tests or resources should I focus on? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! First off, kudos to you for taking AP Art History – it can be both challenging and fascinating. To study effectively, I'd recommend a combination of study materials and strategies.
For starters, make sure you have a solid foundation of the key artworks and historical context. A good textbook, like 'Gardner's Art through the Ages,' can be a helpful resource to build your knowledge. Additionally, the College Board website has plenty of past AP Art History exams and practice questions.
When it comes to online resources, Khan Academy's AP Art History course is fantastic. They offer over 400 videos and articles explaining different artwork and movements. Another valuable resource is CollegeVine, which provides free study guides, essay help, and a peer essay review system.
As for study strategies, try making flashcards for each artwork and its relevant information, such as artist, time period, and medium. Group study sessions with your classmates can also be beneficial to discuss and compare different works.
Don't forget to take timed practice exams, as they will help you develop test-taking speed and accuracy. Good luck, and happy studying!
