<p>Hi all. Does anyone know if non-European art (China, Egypt, the Americas) is tested much on the AP exam? I've been looking through the past FRQ on the CB website and the only non-European art I've seen is from Egypt, which we've studied already. My teacher is putting a lot of emphasis on non-European art, and I want to know if I'm just wasting my time trying to soak it all in.</p>
<p>Nope, not wasting your time,</p>
<p>Topic Outline</p>
<p>The following outline shows the content areas generally covered by introductory college art history courses and a percentage range of course time devoted to each content area. The AP Art History Exam generally reflects this coverage.</p>
<p>I. Ancient Through Medieval (30%)
Greece and Rome (10-15%)
Early Christian, Byzantine, Early Medieval (5-10%)
Romanesque (3-7%)
Gothic (7-10%) </p>
<p>II. Beyond European Artistic Traditions (20%)
Africa (including Egypt); the Americas; Asia; Near East, Oceania, and global Islamic tradition </p>
<p>III. Renaissance to Present (50%)
Fourteenth Through Sixteenth Centuries (12-17%)
Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (10-15%)
Nineteenth Century (10-15%)
Twentieth Century (10-15%)</p>
<p>I've seen that, but we all know the CB doesn't adhere to their own course descriptions.</p>
<p>my S took Art History two years ago, and he said the test definitely contained questions on art from Africa, Egypt and Asia.</p>
<p>On one of the long essays every year they ask you to write about a non-european piece.</p>
