About Course

Welcome to Art through the Ages - Credit Recovery version

This middle school art history course is designed to introduce you to the world of art, from the very first artists that walked the earth to the modern masters. In this course, you will learn about different cultures and their art forms. Projects and quizzes are based on these art works.

This is a six-week, credit-recovery course. You may work at your own pace; however, it is very IMPORTANT that you do not leave many assignments to the end of the course. We have laid out a timeline for your and your advisor's convenience.

You will be required to use e-mail, participate in discussions, take quizzes, and submit work electronically or by postal mail.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn 0.5 credits, which is equivalent to one semester of high school credit.
