Volume 1 contains all of Smarthistory’s content for numbers 1-47 (Global Prehistory and the Ancient Mediterranean) Reviewer’s note: It is unfortunate that this textbook is branded as AP, as the level is appropriate for college learners, but the label might be off-putting. (Hopefully the forthcoming Reframing Art History will solve this problem.) Volume 1 covers material from the Paleolithic through Late Antiquity; to get through the Gothic period, instructors would need to add Smarthistory Guide to AP® Art History, Volume 2 (Early Europe, Colonial Americas), which picks up where Volume 1 leaves off and extends through Hogarth’s Marriage a la Mode.

Video by Art21. At work in her Berkeley studio, Stephanie Syjuco navigates the deeply embedded visual tropes of American history applied in her practice. Describing the shift in priorities associated with progressing in a career as an artist, Syjuco notes a correlation in time spent between project management and art making. "My reality is," she says, "it's a lot more paperwork than I wish it were." To center herself, Syjuco spends time in her garden, harvesting vegetables and "empire crops"—such as tobacco, corn, cotton, and indigo—as part of her research into colonialism and the writing of American history. Stephanie Syjuco was born in Manila, Philippines, in 1974. Syjuco works in photography, sculpture, and installation, moving from handmade and craft-inspired mediums to digital editing. Her work explores the tension between the authentic and the counterfeit, challenging deep-seated assumptions about history, race, and labor.
