MindEdge Learning Resource: Under the reading assignments section in Module 4 on Art History you will find a "Summary of Concepts" that you can download and print and use as a study aide. This can be particularly helpful with the art historical periods found above as the notes are already arranged for you to use for memorization. These summary of concepts can also help you with the music, visual art, and theatre, and dance modules.
