Art History students, don't forget to bring your binders to class everyday! The handout, "The ABC's of Art Styles, Movements, Schools and Period" will be used exclusively as your research guide. Students will also be expected to define and identify various artists, styles, periods, eras, movements and/or historical contexts and influences. You will be expected to look up vocabulary terms, research an encyclopedia for required information and listen (when you see the musical note icon) to accurate pronunciations of those words in the dictionary.
