<p>Which highschool class would you recommend I take to better prepare myself for architecture when I apply to college, drawing 2 or art history AP?</p>

<p>I’d say AP Art History, unless you cannot draw at all; then Drawing 2 would be beneficial. I think Art History would help more because architecture is actually covered in the class. I haven’t taken the class (not offered at my school), but I’m sure you’d learn different architectural terms; like flying buttress! 
And, you’d see the layout/design of these buildings that could reference/inspire your own work.</p>
<p>Yes you are right, I think i will surely consider art history.
thanks.</p>

<p>Hi Grant, I second the art history class choice. My s (he’s a freshman landscape arch student) just took his first class of art history as a freshman in college and said it was one of the hardest classes he has ever had. He said he wishes they had offered it in high school so that he could have had an opportunity to take it there. He may have still had to/wanted to take another class of it in college, but he thinks that learning all of the dates, slides, etc. earlier would have really been beneficial.</p>
<p>AP art history is the best. I think it’s good to get a ‘traditional’ art history survey course over and done with at an early age, when you have less on your plate and more time to memorize and be exposed to stuff you’ll be expected to know later.</p>
<p>Drawing II’s material can be covered on your own time, I think…</p>
<p>Art History AP.</p>
