For your essay, you need to answer the following prompt. Remember, you will only have 10 minutes for such questions on the AP exam, so try to stick to that time limit when you set about writing. Make sure you share with me via Google Docs.

Sir Joshua Reynolds said:

“Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come from nothing.”

Using one of Reynolds’ artworks, relate how this quote by him is defined in his art.

Study for your short essay on Thursday 2/24. Remember to look over Joshua Reynold’s Lady Sarah Bunbury Sacrificing to the Graces. Here is the prompt:

“Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come from nothing.”

Your job will be to discuss whether you agree or disagree with Reynold’s statement. You will have to support your argument by referring to both this quote and the work of art. Remember this is YOUR opinion! There are no right or wrong answers, just as long as you support your argument with specific examples!

Since a lot of you are seniors in my class, I wanted to give you a head’s up about what is coming up. I want to get us through art history from the 18th century to the present. We have to move quickly and efficiently to achieve this so here is the plan:

  • 5/11 – Presentation for Chapter 29 (18th Century Art)
  • 5/13 – Work on handouts for Chapters 29 and 30 (multiple choice only!)
  • 5/17 – TEST on Chapters 17-21 (Renaissance Art!); Work on handouts for Chapters 31 and 32 (multiple choice only!)
  • 5/19 – QUIZ on Chapters 29 and 30; Presentation on Chapter 30 (19th Century Art)
  • 5/21 – Presentation on Chapter 31 (20th Century Art before 1945)
  • 5/25 – Presentation on Chapter 32 (20th Century Art after 1945); QUIZ on Chapters 31 and 32
  • 5/27 – TEST on Chapters 29-32 (Modern Art)

A note about quizzes – your quizzes are based on the multiple choice handouts you complete in class. Once you do the handouts, you should begin studying over them for the upcoming quiz. The information in the presentations will be used to augment what you have read and worked on in class.

A note about tests – the tests will be comprised of the questions straight from the quizzes! So, if you do your work in class, your quizzes will reflect that (provided you study also!). If you do not do well on the quizzes, don’t worry because practically all the questions on the quizzes will reappear on the tests for those corresponding chapters.

So, do the work in class and start studying over those questions.

Seniors – pay particular attention to this workload. You can get everything wrapped up work-wise by the 17th. All you will have to do then is study over your handouts and you will cruise on to the end of the course – and the rest of your life!!
