30-Minute Essays: The length of the free response questions will provide you with 3-5 works of art from the AP Art History course with a unifying idea. They may also call upon you to respond with a choice of artwork of your choosing, either from within or outside of the required course content.

 

Question 1: The Long Essay–Comparison will ask you to compare a required work of art and another of your choosing and explain the significance of the similarities and differences between those works, citing evidence to support their claim. (35 minutes)

Question 2: The Long Essay–Visual/Contextual Analysis will ask you to select and identify a work of art and make assertions about it based on evidence. This is the only free-response question that will not provide an image of artwork, and respond to a prompt with a thesis supported by evidence.  (25 minutes)
