How to Use this Worksheet:

When I taught college Art History, I printed students a booklet at the beginning of the semester with all of the topics we would be covering the whole semester, and I taught them how to take notes and organize information into these categories. At the end of the semester, students turned these in to get extra credit on their final exam.
You can also give students a non-Western art assignment. Give them a blank notes page and ask them to research a culture and take notes on the page and turn in.
After a lesson on a particular subject, have students work in groups to fill this out based on what they learned in the lesson.
Have students fill out one page after a homework reading assignment about an art history topic.
Use as a planning document for a research paper.
Use as a quiz, self-check, or test assessing student’s understanding about the topic.
