    AP Art History

    in High School and Self-Education Board

    Posted

    Hello,

    Regarding AP Art History, I'm not sure which Gardner's Art to purchase: Global History 1, Gobal Hiistory 2, Western Perspective?  Which version?

     

    I've looked at previous posts about AP Art history on this forum before, today I/m just not finding the information. 

     

    I'm interested in a resource to purchase printed art cards for the 250 required works, any ideas?

     

    Many Thanks,

    Cathrynlyn.

    I applaud you, it's not easy to take that step and find new activities for your daughter especially when past friendships have been more than unpleasant. If you use a Facebook page you should be able to block all the names of the people in that family and others. Your waiver could include conditions regarding behavior such as bullying, either in person online, respecting property. Specify how many chances a person gets before they get booted out of the group. And make sure there are guidelines for how to behave for instance if it's a library tour they should not be talking and giggling through most of it. And since you will be the main chaperone it's easier to enforce these things rather than when each person is with their own parent. Unfortunately not every parent pays attention to how their child is acting in these public situations. Good luck!

    What resources have you used for setting up a AP Art History Course for your student?  Thinking of using Khan Academy, some Practice Exams, and something that teaches writing for art history.  Has anyone done notebook with this subject?  

     

    TIA for sharing your ideas. 

    Anxiety about school

    Something to think about an undetected health change. Maybe a medical checkup is needed? including bloodwork for possibly iron deficiency, thyroid function, or anything else your doc suggests that could be related to mood changes. Obviously, if the anxiety gets much worse, she may need a bit less responsibility, counseling, and a bit of time to get better.

    After looking over many choices,and I'm still researching, I'm strongly considering a program that's designed for right-brain learning. My student did well with RightStart math for the early grades. Videotext is recommended for use after RightStart. Cost is a huge factor which is why we ended up with TT algebra, an approach which wasn't a complete flop, but overall, didn't work.

    There are big differences between A Fresh Approach and Foerster. Parts of AFA remind me of Key to series,(which I've seriously considered for this year) yes, I'll look through all the algebra listings. I'd narrowed down to Abeka or PH 2011 or Key to.. based on ruling out many other choices, but it's time to rethink this through.

    I'm thinking about how my child learns math, likes clear to the point directions, not explained the long way around, but does need plenty of repetition, and sometimes has a different method of solving that makes more sense to her than what's being taught. Needs clear step by step solutions manual to help with certain problems. Prefers lessons presented by parent, doesn't respond well to video lessons. Which PH algebra would be a good fit, classic or 2011 version?
