<p>I found the multiple surprisingly easy. I believe I got every short answer except for the Mannerist one -.-. I knew it was Mannerist after the test but for some reason I put Baroque and BS’d my way through. /sadface</p>
<p>Anyways, for my long essays:</p>
<p>Familial Relationships:
ex1. Ara Pacis (Relief) –> Legacy/Legitimacy
ex2. Menkaure and his Wife</p>
<p>Propaganda works:
ex1. The Death of Marat (Worked beautifully here)
ex2. Rent Collection Courtyard (Worked quite nicely here as well)</p>
<p>Overall, I think I did quite well, I just hope the short essays don’t screw me!</p>
<p>For my first essay, I used van Eyck’s Arnolfini Wedding Portrait and a sculpture of a mother and child from Mali.</p>
<p>For the second, I used Sargent’s Gassed, and Ruben’s Allegory of the Outbreak of War.</p>
<p>For the last short answer, I used Marc’s Large Blue Horses</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of people still used Egyptian / Near Eastern examples for the non-Western. I wonder if and how this will affect the curve…</p>
<p>I could NOT remember the name of this one Kandinsky painting that I used for the very last short answer - the quote one.
I put Composition 17, cause I was wasting so much time just sitting thinking and I figured it was close enough. Wow was I off. It’s Improvisation 28… Then I bsed and repeated myself for the rest of the answer. Wonder how much I’ll get on that, probably like a 1 or 2…</p>
<p>I also used Egypt (Menkaura) for the non-western. I absolutely could NOT think of anything else, and after sitting wasting so much time I was like screw it I’m doing Egypt.</p>
<p>1st short answer: Menkaura statue and Cornelia Mother of the Gracchi.
2nd: Picasso’s Guernica and Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>Argh I said Guernica was in response to WW1. It’s in response to the Spanish Civil War…</p>
<p>ALSO: I have never, ever, ever seen that quilt (short-answer) in my LIFE. I bsed my way through it. Were we supposed to have seen it, but my teacher just didn’t show it? Did anyone here study it?</p>
<p>Q1: I didn’t finish. I used Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and their Children and my intent was on using Cassatt’s The Child’s Bath (i didn’t know the title of the work)
Q2: Used Hogarth’s Marriage a la Mode and Kruger’s Untitled (Your Gaze Hits the Side of My Face)</p>
<p>i think i got a 3 :(</p>
<p>I think I got a 3 as well… I walked into that room SO confident that I could get a 4 and possibly a 5. I studied all of Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and yesterday. And all of last weekend. I probably spent atleast 20 hours studying. And all for nothing. UGH…</p>
<p>@ringojackson - My teacher taught us of the short answer that you mentioned, but she only slightly covered the artist’s background as well as the medium’s significance.</p>
<p>I did a brief assignment on the artist ringojackson referenced. Even if one did not study that work in particular, it was fairly easy to deduce the significance of the medium.</p>
<p>ThePowerofOne: I also used Michaelangelo’s Pieta. I felt like an idiot using it but I was making stuff up at that point. </p>
<p>Essay 1:
- Michaelangelo’s Pieta
- Dogon Primordial Couple </p>
<p>I think I did better on the first essay than the second. I was totally ****ting the second one. </p>
<p>Essay 2:
- Justinian and His Attendants
- Vietnam War Memorial</p>
<p>Bahaha. We talked about the memorial in my Modern American History class and it was the only thing that popped in my head from 1900s on.</p>
<p>For the second one, I used political cartoons. I wrote about Rosie the Riveter and Ben Fraklin’s “join or die” cartoon, which is the colonies as a cut up snake. They said print media was fine so I used that. Do you think they would object?</p>
<p>^They might object to Mr. Frakin, due to the obscurity of his work. Even Google would not return many germane results on that. :)</p>
<p>^^^Oh shoot, was it 1900 CE or BCE? I read BCE >.<</p>
<p>And, I used Temple of Ramses II for second family… a long shot, but I literally couldn’t think of ANYTHING. Do they seriously expect people to know not to use Egypt when they don’t specify it in the prompt??</p>
<p>Also, I used Mary Cassatt’s The Bath, but named it “Mother Bathing Child” -_-; I hope they don’t mark down…</p>
<p>^^Franklin’s cartoon is sooo famous. Idk though, for political cartoons.</p>
<p>My AP Art History teacher is one of the leading graders of the AP test and actually speaks at AP conferences for Art History teachers around the nation. He spoke at one in Baltimore about a month ago and he sent us an e-mail saying that it was fine to use Egyptian art.</p>
<p>Here is a copy-paste of what he sent out to our class:</p>
<p>"Hello:
There as been a lot of confusion across the country about essay 1, the non-western choice. The College Board has forwarded this into to me and I forward it to you.</p>
<p>“Your student CAN and MAY still use ancient Near East and Egypt as examples of non-western art on the essay requiring at least one example from art beyond the European tradition (ABET). The intent of the question in an ideal world, however, is to encourage all to seek other areas of ABET. If a student chooses an example from ancient Near East and Egypt, they are NOT deducted points. In fact, what we all need to understand is that whether a student chooses Indian, Chinese, Nigerian, Egyptian, Inca works of art, the choice of the work a student makes must be appropriate to the question, and then correctly addresses each parts of the question fully in a coherent essay using the selected examples. That’s where the students earn the points.”"</p>
<p>^THANK GOD. But… lol, my Egyptian choice wasn’t so appropriate…</p>
<p>Haha yeah. I mean no offense but I have NO idea how you would link Temple of Ramses II to that prompt.</p>
<p>SUCH a relief that they don’t discount for Egypt…</p>
<p>^Wellll, I skipped the first prompt and went to the second one and used Temple of Ramses as a propaganda piece, which I remember a discussion of in our class… then I just used it for the first one cos I literally couldn’t think of anything. He has children and wives at his feet…</p>
<p>I think I got a 5, if you didn’t know the first multiple choice questions at the beginning with the paintings thennnnn you either didn’t have a good teacher or you didn’t pay attention at all. I have an awesome teacher, so I was suppperrr prepared.</p>
<p>On the first essay I used:
The Seated Couple from Dogon
The Arnolfini Wedding</p>
<p>On the second essay I used:
Daumier’s Third Class Carraige
Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party
They worked SOOOO extremely well, and they fit the requirements. Daumier is 1860s and Chicago is 1960. I cut it close, but it worked. :D</p>
<p>The short answer was more difficult, but I still think I did really good.
The Mannerist one was obvious and easy to write about.
The Quilt was the hardest.</p>
<p>and the last one with the quote,
I used Jackson Pollack’s Lavender Mist because he’s Abstract Expressionism.
I really think any type of Expressionism would work, from Fauvism to Chromatic.</p>
<p>Overall, I think I did super well, and I can’t wait to get my 5. :]</p>
<p>I used the Cerveteri Etruscan Sarcophagus and Krishna and Radha on a pavilion, I HOPE the second piece worked.</p>
<p>I used Goya’s the Third of May and Picasso’s Guernica for the second one, I think those do.</p>
<p>Stupid ME rushed the last short answer and misread expressionism for impressionism.
I even THOUGHT “Kandinsky wasn’t impressionism…” hahahah.</p>
<p>Ugh I’m so mad at myself! There were several questions that I changed the answer to later on in the test. I’m researching the ones that I remember and so far I’ve gotten like all of them wrong, and my original answer was right…</p>
<p>So… it said 1900 CE? :/</p>
