GLOSSARY of AP Terms
You will use this page as a starting place for all the notes, images, slideshows, etc. The folders below will be available for you to access but not alter. Look at, print out, read, etc… This is going to be a popular site to visit this year. Make sure you are making good notes as well throughout the process. The very act of writing and drawing will help you know about and understand the ideas better.
Finally, and based on my own work “as a student,” it is important that you plan on about 30 minutes to an hour every day to read, watch, make notes, review, and even make art for this college level course. There are no trick questions, no “gotcha'” questions, nothing that isn’t or hasn’t been clearly laid out for you. The challenge you will face is dedicating the time to the work.

A very special thanks to Mr. Mark Hendrickson (AP Art teacher extraordinaire) for his help in developing this course for me. Without the assistance here, we might all just be cozying up with a textbook! Year 1 would be harder uphill without his incredible generosity and assistance. Thanks Mr. Hendrickson.
