Final Exam Review

29 Jul Final Exam Review

Part 1: Questions on the last unit material (70%)

Part 2: Questions on units 2 & 3 (30%)

PART 1 Middle Ages & Renaissance Unit 3

Now it is time to benefit from your comprehensive guides and appreciate good work you have done on them.

Test Preparation Strategy – 2 phases.

1. GUIDES

1. Review Unit 3 Guides while highlighting Key Issues and Terms

2. Have textbook open to observe the pictures

3. Pay attention to Terms (Architectural in particular!)

2. REVIEW TABLES

Review the material using Sum-Up Tables (below) – critical for your success!

If you work on the charts properly – it will help you a lot in retaining all the major issues.

TIMELINE for UNIT 3

Fill in the ‘centuries’ for the periods and locate them on the timeline below.

Middle Ages	Renaissance Art
Early Medieval Art	Romanesque + Gothic Art
5th –10th centuries	11th –	?th – ?th centuries

(For reference see timeline below)

(Always draw the basic time-line like this one and practice in placing the periods on it)

Works of Art & Artists – Unit 3

WHY to practice

Whenever and whatever you study – always try sum up info in charts, schemes, and timelines. Make your own simple ones. This is one of the best known study techniques!

HOW to practice

· You can print these tables, if you wish, and fill them with pencil. Do it at least twice.

· First, give it a try from memory!

Then you can erase the answers and try again – to make sure all the Info is absorbed.

· Observe pictures in your BOOK while doing Charts. Have it open before you.

(Memorising should not be mechanical but associated with a pictorial image!)

· Type the answers in this document as well.

(10 points for digital file sent via Bb)

· Review-Scan the tables just before heading to the Testing Center – it will take only a few minutes but will greatly increase your chance to score high.

Part 2. Cumulative Part of the Exam (30% of questions)

This is how I would recommend you to prepare yourself for this part.

1. Review your guides for the first units, specifically looking at the terms (do not miss architectural ones)

2. Go through all your review charts (for all three units)

Refresh in your memory the timelines and most famous art works.

You should also be ready to see and recognize any of the art history “celebrities” – such as The Great Pyramids at Giza, Nefertiti, Parthenon, Colosseum, etc.

On exam, I will ask you to “identify” a number of artworks. What does this mean?

This means I expect you to tell which culture produced some particular work of art – for example, whether an artwork is Greek, Gothic, or Renaissance.

I may also ask where and when it was produced (country and time/period).

All identification questions will be on major issues – the milestones of the history of art.

TIMELINE

Finally, make sure you know the Big Timeline.

I do not mind if you keep it simple.

Thus, remember that four of great civilizations – Ancient Greece , Rome , Middle Ages and Byzantine empire – lasted about 1000 years each).

While the Renaissance period – only about 300 years .

I will not be asking the exact dates but I may ask millennia for the ancient world (Mesopotamia and Egypt), and centuries starting with Greece and Rome.

Take a look at this timeline marking the major civilizations that have spanned the last 3 millennia.

For one thing, you certainly should know the order, in which the major civilizations had emerged – starting with Mesopotamia, Egypt, Aegean, Greece, etc.

Use your guides and first two review assignments for unit 1 & 2.

Review the Charts (above) right before heading to the testing center!

So, if I ask you to place the major periods in the right chronological order will you be able to do it?

Try it –place in the first place the oldest civilization/culture, and in the last place – the ‘youngest’ on the Timeline. Then go back to the previous page and see the Timeline to check your.

Renaissance (select and drag into the cells – or type in) Middle Ages Ancient Rome Ancient Greece Egypt

You may feel overwhelmed at this point. No need to feel this way.

Everything you could possibly need is here – in your good guides and charts.

Just review one more time these tables and make sure you know the basics of the History of Art. You will do fine on Exam!
