Recommendation

Recommended Primary

Evaluation

Recommended Primary as A.P. Text. Refer to College Board for detailed review. The course is highly engaging, interactive, and comprehensive. The teacher and student resources really help the content come to life. While the images and videos provided cover a large portion of the art covered in an AP Art history course, not all of the AP Art History image set are covered in the text. Some of the images produced an error message when we tried to access them.
