AP ART HISTORY RESOURCES
Helping teachers and students prepare for the AP Art History exam
The current Art History exam covers 10 Units and a total of 250 objects from around the world (really, more like 400).
We recognize the need for more resources, especially for areas outside of Europe and Anglo-U.S. art and history.
