Hi! Im signing up for classes next year and am not sure which I should take: art history or spanish lit.
Im a nonnative speaker in AP Spanish Language right now, and I’m not sure if I should continue to spanish lit next year. I think it might be really hard for me and I’m already gonna take english lit. But I think colleges would be impressed by a nonnative in spanish lit right?
I can also take art history instead, but I don’t think it’s as impressive and it’ll be the first year my school offers it next year. Maybe I won’t get a good teacher because it’s the first year?
Im also ondering which is less intensive. Im not a good artist but since it’s a history class, maybe Im ok right? I got a 5 on ap euro and am taking apush. How would you compare APAH to APUSH and APEH?
Does it matter if I take the more “impressive class” cuz I guess taking 15 AP’s throughout high school is impressive enough.
Thanks!
AP Spanish Lit, in one word, is hard. There’s a lot of work–the course has a large reading list–and if reading is not your strong suit, it’ll be even harder. I don’t know much about AP Art History, but if you’re struggling in AP Spanish Language and/or not very confident in your Spanish reading ability, I don’t recommend taking AP Spanish Literature.
In AP art history you basically study a bunch of artwork, who made the artwork and basically why that artwork was so important. You have to be able to see a picture and know what century is was from and who drew it and what style of art it is.
