Summary: Great Guide for AP Students
Comment: I use the Gardner's Art through the Ages book in my AP Art History course, and have found that students who order and use the study guides take better notes while reading the text. This is certainly a college level textbook and the lengthy readings can sometimes be hard to get through. The study guides emphasize important terms and vocabulary, and help the reader to pull out important "firsts" in the time period or culture being studied. Along with notes from classroom lectures, the study guides make a great review tool in preparing for the National exam in May.

Summary: Not what you think.
Comment: Bought this book to help my daughter through an AP art history course, and discovered that it is just a series of tests on each chapter. Was hoping it would be a replacement for the poor class lectures. Disappointed. Only the combined chapter self test at the end of the book seems helpful. Those contain answers.If this is a study guide, well now I know.
