I took the Praxis II ART: CONTENT, TRADITIONS, CRITICISM, AESTHETICS and ART: CONTENT KNOWLEDGE on 4/25/09 in Oregon.
I studied a ton...and don't think I could have done any more. There is just know way to know it all.

I studied a ton...and don't think I could have done any more. There is just know way to know it all.
The essays for the 132 ART: CONTENT, TRADITIONS, CRITICISM, AESTHETICS I had were as follows: #1 Painting by Caravaggio with Virgin, child and 2 people in prayer Painting by Artmesia Gentilleschi of Judith with her made servant (and head of Holfornes I think).
They asked you to state how you could see the influence of Caravaggio on Gentilleschi's work in 3 areas, figures, light and composition. Then they asked you to state why the pieces were different.
#2 They showed a quilt by Faith Ringgold. They asked about the composition and subject, as well as to discuss the history/reasons behind the piece
#3 They shared a quote about art criticism-that art can be viewed incorrectly if only held up against european art standards of what constitutes art and stated that many think art should be reviewed only by the time and place and culture where it was created. Then, you had to agree with the statement or refute it. Give one example of western eauropean art that supported your argument and 1 example of non-western European art that supported your argument.
Questions/Topics I can remember for the 133 ART: CONTENT KNOWLEDGE were as follows: • There were very few questions on easier, well-known subjects like Impressionism, most required a little more knowledge • Less architecture and photography than I thought there would be • Several questions on the Harlem renaissance-jacob lawrence • Porch of the Maidens (I did not know this, but it was the caryatids) • Perspective (2 questions on this-who invented linear and what is single point) • Joseph Audobon-bird drawings • Crystal Palace and Eiffel Tower • Some questions on Neoclassicism/romanticism • Art Making- photography-a few, pottery a few more, safety like solvents and acid baths, i.e. what is dangerous to add to an acid bath (H2O, wood, paper?) • Color on a computer-Cmyk and a resolution question-think it was a DPI questions but can’t remember • How do you clean/thin oil paint (maybe it asked fat vs. lean) • What is rabbit glue used for • What is used in clay that can harm skin-turpentine, iron? • Plastelline • Frottage • Print making such as etching-wax ground • Tromp l’oielle • Question about the change in value in a line drawing indicates what (recessed shape, light, shape that comes out?) • Gesture drawing • Which pencil was the not an option for hard/soft (H, HB, B and S) • Showed a Brancusi scultpture-asked what form (I think it was monolith) • Chiarroscuro • Contraposto • What is the true color of an object called (something like this but can’t remember the term) • Eastern art-like pagoda • What was the Taj Mahal originally used for • Chagall/Chirico • Rosa Bonheur-horse paintings • Who was a baroque classicist • Anselm Keiffer • Kinetic art-calder • Vermeer • Rembrandt • Several questions on gothic cathedrals-one was on Chartres. Other was which was the 1st, and listed 4 cathedrals in France I believe. • Counter reformation • Battle of Hastings -tapestry • Clement Greenberg-art critic…for who?
I studied and made cards almost exclusively from the Praxis book (which is terrible, but good for art terms to cover) and from the Annotated Mona Lisa. I used this book cover to cover. ArtLex was great-concise and great for vocabart terms and safety… as well as Artchive for more in depth on each artist. I just took a 19th c art class so that helped there, but other than that I got my BFA over 10 years ago and could barely remember anything. I am not sure I passed but hopeful! Definitely bullet your essays, or you WILL run out of time.

Hi all, Our principal just told us we can order professional development books for next year. We'd like to know what you'd recommend for first grade teachers.

I would so appreciate it if any one has anymore info or advice for taking the Praxis 2 ART 0132/ Art Criticism Essays. You guys helped me and so many others out for the Art Content part but now the time has come to pass this part! Any tid-bits...anyone?!? :)
I was just wandering if any one could share what questions came up on this portion of the test. I know there are a few different sets of questions out there so if anyone can think of some... It would be such a big help!
Looking for teachers from each state to participate in a 6- 8 grade postcard exchange.
