Re: I passed the Praxis II Art Content

Knowledge Test

I'm only writing to give back ( I promised myself that if I passed

I would find the time). For I found a little more than no study
material for the GACE Art Content I and II. However, the list from
this site I study in conjunction with rereading Garner's Art
history book. I will say this Art Content II had a couple of ?s
about "aboriginal art". Garner's art history book goes over this
at the end the book (do not fail to understand the significance of
other culture's art and art practices).

Without further delay here is the list I studied in addition to

Garner's Art History book and excluding the list of artist at the
end.

**note** do not simply study "The List" but go further and

understand the answers and how it relate to the questions and such.
God Bless and God speed!!

Sam, I also had those questions (6/13/10). I also had the

following: What type of structure is the Taj Mahal? Who did
the Spiral Jetty? Which Tribe created the Great Serpent
Mound? What did Titian paint? I pick the Venus of Urbino.

Does anyone know how many you can miss? (I need a 161 for
PA) I know I missed some, but I feel confident.
