Just a reminder that you all should be knee-deep in your research to present on your chosen culture for Beyond European Art. Make sure to review the project description and rubric, found here.

You will need to have all of your materials ready by Monday, April 16th – even if you are scheduled to present at a later date. Everything should be finalized and ready to go – if not, it will be considered late. Here is a reminder of the tentative presentation schedule:

  • 4/16 Islamic Art
  • 4/16 African Art
  • 4/18 Indian Art
  • 4/18 Chinese Art
  • 4/20 Japanese Art
  • 4/20 Art of the Americas
  • 4/24 Art of Oceania

Good luck! I’m looking forward to your presentations!

TEST: CH 18-22 Art History Essay Exam (due 2/29)

I’ve adapted today’s test to be a more comprehensive essay exam. I think this will be more productive in the long run as you need to get used to writing essay more in a timed format. This exam will be a take-home exam in that you will be required to write your essays and share via Google Docs with me – there are 5 essays in total covering Chapters 18-22 and all are due by 2/29.

Make sure you read all of the prompts carefully. The idea is that you will have 50 minutes to take the test – 10 minutes per essay. Try to stick to that as much as possible as you are practicing writing for the AP exam in May.

Here is the test itself – make sure you look it over and when you are writing your essay in Google Docs, make sure you clarify each essay as Essay 1, Essay 2, etc.

Remember to write your essay and share it with me via Google Docs so I can give you some feedback. Here is the prompt:

Selecting an image from the Baroque art in chapter 22, write an essay that addresses the cultural and/or political and social concerns of the era. You must fully identify the image you selected, include the key reasons why you selected this image, and support your selection with SPECIFIC examples which connect both visual and contextual elements.

Your score will be graded on  Understanding (either 60 points, 50 points, or 40 points) and Quality (either 40 points, 30 points, or 20 points). Understanding will expect that you show how well you understand the artistic concepts of Baroque art while your Quality category will be fulfilled based on the execution of your writing.

Get writing! It is due 2/27! Remember, this is supposed to be a SHORT ESSAY and should stick to one paragraph of about 4-5 sentences.
