Margo out of lurking Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Is there anything available online, and for free? A friend is using this book in her Classical Conversations class, and I'd love to use it too. But I need a lesson plan, complete with points to consider, discussion questions, writing assignments. What I really would like is CC's lesson plan for this--but I'll take anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooley Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Kristine - I used this last year, along with Sister Wendy's history of art AND what I used as sort of my spine was the Barrons AP Art History test book. I had my dd read through each period of Art History in Barrons, then read in the two other books about the same period. Barrons then has them do a test and a small essay on each period. I supplemented these with vocab tests, Barrons also has a good vocab listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi Dooley, Thanks for the info. My dd is going to be studying for AP art history this year - would you mind sharing your student's AP score? I'd love to know what she earned using your approach. I've bought the REA AP study guide (recommended on College Confidential), and have the AML & Sister Wendy's, along with a lot of other art books. Thanks!

newlifemom Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hey Kristine, I am searching for help with this book as well. I was wondering how it went? Can I use it with Omnibus I? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hah. There is always something that starts out as a great idea and never progresses. Dd put her foot down and said she was not.going.to.do.art for high school credit. We didn't do it. (Seriously, I pick my battles, and this was not one to fight.) Buuuuttt. I still have the book. Dd's 11th grade is pretty much set, but there's the possibility that she'll choose it for 12th grade. (I'm the eternal optimist.) And then there's always ds . . .

I bought this book b/c my dn will not be in a Challenge II class this fall [no one else will enroll, and so we don't have one] Plus, it seems to go with the Omnibus program. However, I have no guide really for the Omnibus or that book. It would seem that there is a sort of art appreciation each week with the Omnibus and I thought I would add the Mona Lisa in order to get a hs credit for it. We'll see how that goes. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjbeach Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.rainbowresource.com/wldetail.php?&id=025983 This is a 6.50 art history curriculum from RR that I have had on my wishlist forever. It uses The Annotated Mona Lisa as its' main resource book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Angela, Would you be so kind as to clarify this Lisa Barron and is it an AP study guide or is it a textbook? I am still so new to high school. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothicHipChick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Has anyone purchased this from RR and used it? If so, how was it? Is it worth it or just use Barron's + the Annotated Mona Lisa? http://www.rainbowresource.com/wldetail.php?&id=025983 This is a 6.50 art history curriculum from RR that I have had on my wishlist forever.
