AP FAQs

Is there a preferred textbook for teaching the AP Art History course?
While the AP Art History Development Committee does not make specific recommendations for textbooks, you can find reviews (written by high school teachers and college professors) in the Teachers' Resources area of AP Central.

In addition, you can find a listing of comprehensive textbooks in the ¿Bibliography and Resources¿ section of the AP Art History Teacher¿s Guide. Teachers are encouraged to use a variety of texts to develop their course, as this will expose students to several different perspectives. When considering a text, remember that every text has its strong points and each has areas that you may want to supplement or customize. Ask publishers for examination copies; they will be more than happy to send you one. By thoroughly comparing the textbooks you can find the book that best suits your strengths and the needs of your students.
