Here’s some fun work for the scholars in you, straight from my AP Art History Study Guide:

1. The Gothic style prevailed in Europe during which centuries?
2. Abbot ______ built the west and east ends of the cathedral of St. Denis.
3. How was the building of Notre Dame in Chartres financed?
4. How do the buttresses of Notre Dame in Paris differ from those of the cathedral of St. Foy?
5. What’s a trefoil? Quatrefoil? Gable? Crocket? Retablo?
6. What was the payment for the master mason of Magdalen College, Oxford?
7. Describe opus anglicanum. Why is it important?
8. What is an Andachtsbild? What was its purpose?

And other exciting stuff. While I don’t feel bad that the class asks me to know this stuff, I feel bad I know I don’t and neither does anyone else.
