AP Art History Summer Work 2015-16

WATCH : (I recommend checking out one of these about a week after school ends ) Write a film critic style review of the flick you watch. Include in your review notes on the accuracy or inaccuracy of the depiction compared to history. (Approximately ½ page typed) BTW: There are lots of other great films and documentaries about artists and their work. Most of these are rated “R” and so I did not list them. Ask your parents to okay any of these before viewing.


  • The Agony and the Ecstasy: Michelangelo

  • Girl with a Pearl Earring : Vermeer

  • Lust for Life : Van Gogh & Gauguin

  • The art of the steal: Documentary on the greatest art heist in history

  • The Rape of Europa: Documentary on the efforts to save the art of the Louvre from Nazi Germany

  • Midnight in Paris: Fictional time travel romance with famous Parisian Artists

  • Marie Antoinette: Features a glimpse into the inner workings of Versailles under Louis XIV

READ: Pick ONE of these 2 books.. Read all of it; then, write a one page report about your favorite chapter of the book you chose. Explain the importance of the part you chose in the history of art as well as your opinion as to why this subject resonated with you. Due on the first day of class

  • The Brilliant History of Color in Art- Victoria Finley

  • What Are You Looking At?: The Surprising, Shocking, and Sometimes Strange Story of 150 Years of Modern Art : Will Gompertz
