What are APAH ARTCARDS?
These are important tools to record IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION about the required artworks as well as VALID info on FORM, FUNCTION, CONTENT and CONTEXT for each work (what is important for a work varies from work to work). 
Students create ARTCARDS of the 250 artworks to use as study guide. They are also turned in as assignments to ensure students are on track with gaining the knowledge needed for the course.
 
What information should I include on my ARTCARDS?
ARTCARDS have the image on the front and information on the back. Most students create a color code system to help categorize the cards. 4x6 index cards are needed, buy in bulk as you will need to create ARTCARDS for every unit.
