My Ap Art History Class Is Funny Bc The Amount Of Notes I Have To To Take For Different Pieces Is Hilarious,

My ap art history class is funny bc the amount of notes I have to to take for different pieces is hilarious, like the Apollo 11 stones vs Stonehenge, one page has like 10 sentences on it vs one that covers the entire page in cramped handwriting

It’s also funny bc all of the global pre-history pieces are just full of descriptions like “who made this? We have no fucking clue. Why was it made? Eh who knows.”

I swear this is going to just turn into a blog about my ap art history class lmfao, but we went from unit one (global pre-history) to unit 10 (global contemporary) and its really intresting how much of a persons life and experiences translate into their art prices when talking about contemporary art, which is a big jump from unit one where everything but the art piece itself was a big unknown

Anyway I used to not like contemporary art until I took art history and got to understand a lot about it and about famous artists within it, like basquiat and faith ringgold, who I never heard of before this class, and how their life experiences shape their artworks to the point that after learning about them you can see their very soul within their work

Anyway I love art history and my art history class

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
