Strides f varius kinds were made in different cities: in Flrence and Rme the study f the human figure thrugh life drawing was emphasized, while in Venice the search fr tnal and clristic effects led t the embrace f blue paper and the keen study f light and cmpsitin. Sme f the Getty Museum's mst spectacular drawings by Fra Bartlmme, Andrea Mantegna, Jacp Pntrm, Raphael, Andrea del Sart, and Titian are n view in this exhibitin.

The material has been selected by histrians wh serve as members f the AP Eurpean Histry Develpment Cmmittee. In their judgment, the material printed here reflects the curse f study n which this examinatin is based and therefre apprpriate t measure the skills and knwledge acquired in this curse. The current AP prgram in Eurpean Histry crrespnds t the mst recent develpments in histry curricula at the undergraduate level. In clleges and universities, Eurpean histry is increasingly seen in a brad perspective, with teaching methds reflecting an awareness f ther disciplines and a diversity f techniques f presentatin, including visual and statistical materials. Trends such as these are used by the Develpment Cmmittee t adjust the curse and the examinatin. The examinatin is divided int three parts: a multiple-chice sectin dealing with cncepts, majr histrical facts and persnalities, and histrical analysis; a dcument-based essay designed specifically t test yur ability t wrk with evidence; and tw thematic essays n tpics f majr significance.
