A.P. Art History TEXTBOOK:
Gardners’ Art Through the Ages -12th Edition
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS: Various videos, handouts, visuals.
• The goal of the text is to produce an appreciation for a wide range art work and to provide a firm foundation for an understanding and knowledge of existing great works of art through the centuries of human existence.
• The arrangement is chronological.
• Readings and illustrations cover the whole of human endeavors including, but not limited to, history, theology, science, politics, war and the human form.
Required Museum Visits: College Board requires students taking this course to participate in visits to local museums. Failure to do so, will greatly diminish the overall worth of the course. 3 field trips are planned.
A.P. Art History misconceptions…
It is an easy class…. NOT… there is a ton of work with much reading, writing and memory!
It is not really useful…. WRONG… it delves into all content areas and involves much use of technology and research skills.
It is just for the “smart,” “nerdy” or “artsy” kids… WRONG AGAIN … This course provides a differentiated venue for all types of learners at all levels.

Language Arts Grade 11
Much of the content, skills and knowledge / work from the A.P. English Language & Composition class will be incorporated into the LA11 course.
A special focus will be on preparing students for success on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.)
Class participation is key and homework will be a key component in reinforcing skills learned/taught in class.
Where there is a Will….there is an
“A” _______________________________________
If a student has completed all of the required work SATISFACTORILY with little to no
absences…and has demonstrated respect, sincerity, and motivation to be and do the
BEST… extra-credit work MAY be allowed/assigned on a case-by-case basis to earn additional points, solely at my discretion.
Failure is NOT an Option
ZERO INTOLERANT !
Students MUST complete all …
assignments / tests / projects, etc….
Incomplete work will certainly result in loss of course credit and may delay/prevent timely graduation / forwarding of transcripts.
