AP ART HISTORY

We now have access to the Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, 13th edition as an eBook!!! See Mrs. Haslett for details and login information.

Below is a collection of material to assist students studying AP Art History. The majority of the information pertains to Gardner’s Art Through the Ages with some information from Stokstad’s Art History 2nd and 3rd editions.

Disclaimer
The content of most of these presentations was taken directly from “Gardner’s Art Through The Ages” eleventh edition. In many cases, the language was borrowed directly from the book and in no way do I claim these documents as my own work. The design is my own, and many of the ideas and concepts within the presentations are my own as well, but the vast majority of the content belongs to the textbook that I use when teaching the course.

All of the work available for download on this page is intended for educational instruction only and should not be used for the purposes of monetary gain. The copyright restrictions that are listed in “Gardner’s Art Through The Ages” also apply to these downloadable presentations.
