AP Art and AP Art History - Endangered Species?

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

We're in an artistic "crisis" and have been told that unless classes are 25-30 students, they will be canceled...

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

Please get the word out to your friends who may be thinking of taking AP Art and AP Art History...

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.


Let's work together to save the programs and continue on our excellent journey of knowledge and truth!

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

Special thanks to Lewis Carroll, who I'm sure would have loved AP Art History and Art with excerpts from The Walrus and The Carpenter
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

Be sure to analyze each question carefully and choose appropriate examples. Identify your examples as fully as possible.

Early Northern Medieval art is unusual in its context from other time periods. Discuss the history of its conception and follow its path beginning with Anglo-Saxon and ending with Ottonian. Use specific examples of art to justify each of the changes the period progresses through and the context of the art created.

Elements and Principles - The Foundation of Art

6 Elements – Foundation of Art Making:
Line – Sketch, Contour, Expressive, Loose, Tight, Curved, Diagonal, Horizontal, etc.
Shape – 2D, Flat
Form – 3D, In the Round
Color – Monochromatic, Analogous, Complimentary, Split Complimentary (The split complementary scheme is a variation of the standard complementary scheme. It uses a color and the two colors adjacent to its complementary), Triad (three colors equally spaced around the color wheel)
Value – More contrast creates more drama. Similar values would create more calmness.
Texture – Actual and Implied
8 Principles of Design – Rules that govern how the elements are used:
Rhythm – Indicates movement by the repetition of elements, Motifs can be repeated
Movement – Used to create the look and feeling of an action and guide the viewer’s eyes throughout the work of art
Balance – Concerned with equalizing visual forces, Symmetrical and Asymmetrical, Informal Balance
Proportion – Concerned with the size relationship of one part to another, Realism, Exaggeration and Distortion, Hierarchal Proportion
Variety – Concerned with difference or contrast
Emphasis – Makes one part of a work dominant over the other parts, Focal Point
Harmony – Creates unity by stressing the similarities of separate by related parts
Unity – Quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the Elements and Principles of Art
