Mrs. Lefler's AP/Honors Art History

COURSE DESCRIPTION:Advanced Placement/Honors Art History is a chronological art survey course that while focusing on traditional Western art, also includes non-Western art and its impact on western art forms. The objective of the course is to encourage the student to "see" works of art and to develop a vocabulary that will allow them to be able to discuss what they see in the context of the artistic period, style, and the individual artists.
