AP art history online? Should I or not?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

So this summer I have to take a French 2 course (easy, I’ll probably be able to finish in a couple weeks at most) but I also wanted to take AP art history on FLVS. I’m a rising junior, and my junior schedule so far is
AP Lang & comp
AP us history
AP biology
physics honors
medical skills
algebra 2

I had originally wanted to take AP chemistry instead of physics, but the chem class was cancelled. I still want to take a fourth AP to boost my GPA, though. I am immensely interested in art history and I’ve always been an artist. I’m great in history classes, but I just don’t know how much time it will take up. I won’t be doing anything this summer other than the occasional trips to beaches, so I’ll have lots of time and money to buy review books and spend on this class. i could also keep doing it into my junior year, but then I worry about my available time.

I’ve never taken an AP class online, but I’ve taken 3 AP classes so far and I mostly get A’s. do you think this would interfere a lot with my classes if it was to go into the school year? also, any review book recommendations?

OMG I also wanted to take ap art via flvs… My humanities teacher says it is fairly difficult because of the sheer amount you have to know. And I aslo took the AP psych exam today (I self-studied) and honestly thought it was too easy.

@Ben115084 yeah, I know we have to know about 250 set images at least along with all their artists, patrons, eras, styles…etc.! but, I think as long as I get flash cards and lots of review books I think it’ll be okay. did your teacher recommend anything?
congrats! did you do psych through flvs? I was really happy the frqs were so easy, I think I did well on that exam. just have to do world now.

I took AP Art History and I wouldn’t recommend for online. The 250 works of art you need to memorize is so much easier to learn if you have a teacher and classmates to memorize it with! It is a really fun class though you learn so much so definitely take it!
