 * European History**

The AP European History teacher must understand that he or she is not, in fact, teaching art history in the sense of discussing artistic style, technique, or method. Leave rather, art in the history class should be used as a mirror that helps reflect the broader aspects of political, economic, and social developments of specific eras.Without convenient contemporary film clips or other broad media formats from an historical era, the only visual reflections of an epoch’s mood, philosophy, or social viewpoints are to be found in the tangible paintings, sculpture, and architecture of that time. Clearly, artists would not have created great works reflecting ideas that were unimportant to the minds of the day. Perhaps great art can be seen as the pop culture of an earlier era, reflecting the morals, mores, and philosophies of an epoch.Therefore, it becomes the teacher’s job to help students use art to identify or clarify an era’s significant introspection, thus helping the student better understand the historical period (Fain, G., // Art for History’s Sake., retrieved from // http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/Europe_Hist_SF_Art_Class07.pdf)
