Barron’s Essential 5
As you review the content in this book and work toward earning that 5 on
your AP Art History Exam, here are five things that you MUST know above
everything else:
1
Learn to fully identify each object completely. Multiple-choice
questions may ask you to know all the details about a work (for example:
name of artist, if known; name of work; date; period or culture; medium
and/or materials; location of architecture).
Examples:
• Funeral banner of Lady Dai (Xin Zhui), 180 B.C.E., painted silk;
Chinese: Han Dynasty
• Ogata Korin, White and Red Plum Blossoms, 1710–1716, ink,
watercolor, and gold leaf on paper; Japanese
• Templo Mayor (Main Temple), 1375–1520, stone, Tenochtitlán, Mexico
City, Mexico; Mexica (Aztec)
2
Study works of art in context. It is important to know the names of the
artists and the titles of the works, but it is required to know how these
were meant to be seen and understood. You must know a given work’s
context to understand how the work can be interpreted.
3
Study in-depth works that are important because of their location.
Many of the works that are now required have significant locations, and it

Loading page 13...

is wise to study how their location influences their design. This is often
asked.
Examples:
• Lanzón Stone
• Smithson, Spiral Jetty
• Dome of the Rock
4
Learn vocabulary! Most of the multiple-choice questions require you to
know the basic terms art historians use to discuss great works of art. This
is particularly important when discussing ancient and medieval art. Study
the vocabulary sections at the end of each chapter. The most common
vocabulary terms include but are not limited to:
• Painting techniques (including pottery)
• Parts of architectural monuments (like ancient temples and medieval
churches)
• Types of printmaking (etching, woodcut, engraving, etc.)
• Methods of sculpture (lost wax process, repoussé, etc.)
5
Select works that have cross-cultural connections. On the newly
redesigned exam, many questions focus on the interconnections between
cultures.
Examples:
• Works from New Spain that show indigenous American and Spanish
influence
• European works that show a Japanese influence
• Islamic works that show an influence from Chinese sources
