AP FAQs To what extent does the AP Art History Exam assess students' knowledge of art beyond the European tradition (non-Western art)? Teachers should devote about 20 percent of course content to coverage of Africa (including ancient Egypt), the Americas, Asia, Oceania, the ancient Near East, and the global Islamic tradition. In the first of the two 30-minute essay questions on the AP Exam, students must fully identify and discuss at least one work of art from a culture beyond the European tradition. Students can draw examples from areas traditionally covered by the AP Art History course, including ancient Near East, ancient Egypt, and the global Islamic tradition, but keep in mind that recent AP Exams require knowledge of artistic traditions of Africa (beyond Egypt), the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
