<p>Who's taking it on thursday? anyone wanting to start a question-answer thread? and i have a question: how are you guys studying for it?</p>
<p>When i took it, all I did was go over the previous tests</p>
<p>from where?</p>
<p>Studying the chronology of history/art, looking through the Annotated Mona, and doing some practice MC/essay outlines</p>
<p>Slide list of 295 slides.</p>
<p>i'm just going through the chapters...writing down different periods/classifications, a quick blurb about what they are or what they encompass..and then i'm listing what works of art can be classified under those periods.
i'm up for starting a question/answer thread.
i'll be sitting here studying all night.</p>
<p>Took it last year......5!</p>
<p>The free response will save you....trust me</p>
<p>actually, i think my teacher overprepared us for the test. i was looking at a test from 1998 and it looks really simple...even the MC. Apparently, over t he past thirteen years, my teacher has only had one person get below a three on the test. i'm not really that worried, but i'm still preparing...i mean, i'm going into architecture. i don't want my APAH test to make me look like an idiot.</p>
<p>My teacher didn't prepare us at all...I'm pretty sure I learned nothing this year. I'm ready and willing to perform the equivalent of a '1-2' on the exam tomorrow and then make a quick call to the collegeboard to cancel it. Good times haha. Anybody have suggestions for what kind of pictures I should draw for the Free Response?</p>
<p>well. i'd like to do some q & a. anyone up for that?</p>
<p>yeah, i dont mind doing a question thread: I'll start it:</p>
<p>Explain and describe the significance of the ziggurat to its time and culture.</p>
<p>heh. well, a ziggurat normally had sloping sides and i think it normally had a number of stairways which led to basically a shrine. and i think that only clergy members or something...priests probably, were the only ones allowed in the shrine. The ziggurat was the people's way of reaching heaven anddddd.... they made sense at the time because of the basic nature of the culture. heh. i didn't think we were doing essay questions! and i don't know much about ziggurats.
Who wrote books on architecture and painting?
Alberti
Brunelleschi
Donatello
Michelangelo</p>
<p>Yeah, m'taking it too. I really need to study my Greek, Renaissance and 19th century art. I also need to brush up on architecture.</p>
<p>I'm not terribly worried about it. My teacher sucked tremendously, but I love art history and want to major in it, so I learned a lot on my own. Sad part is, if I don't get a 5 I'll feel like a failure... XP Oh well, off to study I go!</p>
<p>oh good question: michelangelo- he did like everything. was a little emotionally unbalanced too :)</p>
<p>Fill in the blank of this title:
Bernini's 'The Ecstacy of _____"</p>
<p>Its not michelangelo, he was lonely and not a socialite, no one really liked him
the answer is alberti-I just took a practice tests and alberti is right</p>
<p>actually. it's alberti. i don't think that michelangelo every actually wrote anything on architecture or painting. he didn't consider himself that good of a painter so he avoided the subject when it came to books.
I really have no idea what the answer would be, but, i'm guessing the ecstasy of venus. i'm really not sure.</p>
<p>o what?! but wasn't michelangelo an architect and painter and just everything...eh. well, it's good to know. above question.</p>
<p>Actually, Bernini created the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa. Baroque, 17th century.</p>
<p>What movement is the artist DuChamp associated with?</p>
<p>the answer is Ecstacy of St Theresa---its the pretty scultpture put on eye level viewing</p>
<p>Describe some characteristics of the sculptures from the Greek Archaic period.</p>
