Barron’s brand-new AP Art History test prep manual is now available with an optional CD-ROM. The book subject review opens with the earliest Western civilizations and extends to art of the present day. Additional chapters focus on non-European art traditions in India, China, Japan, the Americas, Africa, and the Pacific. Review chapters cover historical background, artistic innovation, major artists and movements, key works test takers should know, and relevant vocabulary.
Each chapter has review questions and a practice essay with a model response. Some 700 artworks are illustrated in the text with a list of their characteristics. A diagnostic exam and two full-length AP practice exams are presented with answer keys, diagnostic charts, answer explanations, and model essay responses. The optional CD-ROM presents two more practice tests with answers and automatic scoring, plus a flash card feature to test students' visual memories as they learn to identify 300 works of art.
