Cathrynlyn Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Here is a link to the College Board's sample list of textbooks for AP Art History. The suggestion for Gardner is: Kleiner, Fred S., Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History, Cengage Learning. Sample Syllabus 4 utilizes the 13th ed. I have this edition and really like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Kahn Academy has excellent resources in their course for AP Art History. You can see all 250 images on their site. The AP Art History Course and Exam Description also includes all of the images and their titles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We used Gardner's Art Through the Ages: A Global History 13th Edition and the accompanying student guide. I second the info on Khan Academy-very useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 A Global History, 13th Ed,. Thanks! Will I need volumes 1& 2? The volume that I linked is a complete volume. Follow the link to Amazon, click on the "look inside" feature and check the table of contents: it includes everything from the beginning until the present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I bought the one volume, hardback edition-if you go for the split edition you will need both. The book is mostly chronological so buying only one volume would leave you missing half the course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I bought the one volume, hardback edition-if you go for the split edition you will need both. The book is mostly chronological so buying only one volume would leave you missing half the course. I tend to buy single volumes of most texts like art history or world history that are often split in two volumes. Two volumes are usually more expensive on total cost, but can be much easier to manage when reading. The binding on my Gardner volume is nowhere near being as sturdy as the binding on my equally large Stokstadt volume. I usually ask my student to read the huge texts at the table as opposed tossing it on their bed or the couch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The advantage of the split volume is that there is an e-book version. Which we need! Thanks so much everyone for posting these links. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathrynlyn Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) thanks to all of you! swimmermom3 thanks for the link to the complete volume!

Cathrynlyn Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I do have the needed books now. Though I'm wondering if there are sources available for testing or quizzing that correspond with Gardner's Art Through the Ages, 13th ed.? Haven't found much so far.
