Summer Work
Class Website: https://skyineaparthistory.blogspot.com/
Welcome to
AP Art History! This course will take us through time and all over the world. Summer
work is designed to introduce you to a broad range of art and its many forms. Please
stop into A215 for supplies 6/8-6/14. For Summer work you will need to:
1. Construct
your AP Art History Flashcards
2. Read The
Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to the
Present (2007) and personally add annotations, and
3. Create 2 museum visits write-up on art pieces of
your choice using the guidelines below.
Before we begin to
dive into the Summer Work, it is recommended to watch the video https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ap-art-history/introduction-ap-arthistory/v/why-look-at-art.
Understand that visual acumen (keenness) is only part of what we will need to
have to be successful in AP Art History.
AP
Art History Flashcards
Please
pick up your 5 x 7 flashcards, glue sticks and prints of the images from me in A215
on Friday June 8th. Instructions of what is required will be given
to you. However, if you are unable to pick it up than you will need to acquire
300- 5 x 7 index cards, several glue sticks and print the image pages in color
for all 250 images found at https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-art-history-course-and-exam-description-0.pdf?course=ap-art-history.
Flashcards need to be constructed before the first day.
The
purpose of constructing the flashcards with the 250 images is to have visual familiarity
and names to go with the art pieces we will be studying. The front (unlined) of
the card will have the image number and the image only. The back of the card
will have the number, the title, place of origin, date and material(s).
The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History
from Prehistoric to the Present
(2007)
Please
read the text and annotate on the copy you get from me. There is a newer
version but for the purpose of getting ready to make connections with art and by
reading about it you will have a better idea of how to write about it. Visit
the site for ideas on how to annotate: https://sites.google.com/a/sayvilleschools.org/mrs-cierski-s-english-8-class/how-to-annotate-a-text-mark-it-up.
Make sure to underline or highlight titles, dates, material and culture or
location. Look for content, context, form and function. A description of these attributes
are in the Museum Visit Write-up.
Museum
Visits Write-ups
The
purpose of this exercise is to help you interact with 2 pieces of artwork of
your choice. You will need to visit at least one museum (you can pick two
pieces on this visit if you have to) but feel free to go to as many as you can
and it can be anywhere. These pieces can be paintings, architecture, sculpture,
or even an artifact that has cultural relevance. Before you begin it is best to
review the elements and principles of design (https://skyineaparthistory.blogspot.com/p/elements-and-principles-of-design.html)
and go through the ppt to understand what content, context, form and function
mean (https://skyineaparthistory.blogspot.com/p/context-content-forma-and-function.html).
Your
write-up must include the following:
1.
The image, title, place of origin, date and material(s).
2.
Information on your impression (Visual Thinking Strategy-
Look at the artwork silently for a few
minutes and write down what you see (describe). What's going on in the art
piece (analyze)? What do you see in the art (interpret/ prior knowledge)? What
makes you think that? What value does the piece have (evaluate/ judge)?)
3.
Look at the content of the artwork. Next look at the
room in which the artwork is placed and where it came from to extract the
context. Now look at the form and determine the function.
4.
Complete more research online to sum up the depth in
which your analysis is complete. Be descriptive and make sure to give the
reader a connection to the work.
More detailed guidelines for structure of your paper
as well as a sample can be found here: https://skyineaparthistory.blogspot.com/p/guidelines-for-analysis-of-art.html.
This is a practice for you and will help throughout the course.
