Slides

All images for which you are responsible on exams can be found in Kleiner, Gardner's Art Through the Ages: A Concise Western History, or are linked to the appropriate week below. If a supplemental image is not linked, you are not required to know it for the exam.

Addendum: images have been hot-linked to the slide lists to make your hunting and gathering more efficient. You can also save some time by using Quizlet's AP Art History Exam flash cards. Many of the images included are those that can be found in standard art history survey textbooks. Don't forget, however, that you're responsible for more than just images; you actually have to know something about the works!

Additional resources and interesting sites are also linked on the side-bars for each week. Please report broken links as soon as you notice them, so I can relocate them or find substitutions. For the summer quarter, 2010, the lists will be updated frequently; if a particular week is off line at the moment, it's because I have not yet revised it to use with the new textbook. Lists will be available at least two week in advance of the classes involved.

Electronic copies of the slide lists are available both in .docx (Microsoft Word), and Adobe .pdf files, listed next to each topic, below. I strongly advise you to print these out in advance, to have for taking notes in class. Except for week 1, I will not distribute slide lists in class, and you will not be able to use your laptop or phone during class to help you out.

A further word of advice: what is listed below is the title of the lecture--not necessarily the period of movement to which the image belongs. Be sure you know the historical period and/or the movement within which the work was created.

PS: I'm working week by week to update lists with links; each week's lists will be updated by the Sunday before each lecture.
