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

GET IN THE ZONE!: 2 weeks before school starts go to Khan Academy using the link or QR code and follow the instructions below
https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-history-basics; watch and read all parts of this unit. There are 3 sections and assorted videos and short articles within each. Write a 1 page summary of your observations and impressions going into the course. Address the relevance of art in history and in our society today. ( do yourself a favor & don’t make this a day before marathon viewing)
DO THIS TONIGHT!
Save my contact info (both emails) & send me an email. Nothing fancy, just introduce yourself and then we will both have the right email for each other. This is also how I will invite you to the class googleDRIVE folder with a treasure trove of resources.
