About the Author
The co-authors of this book, Larry Krieger and Frank Chmiel, have invested in these pages the wisdom and experience they have gained as developers of an AP Art History program that, according to the College Board, has led the world three years running “in helping the widest segment of their total school population achieve an exam grade of 3 or higher.” That program, which has produced
hundreds of individual success stories, is based at Montgomery High School in Skillman, New Jersey. Together, Mr. Krieger and Mr. Chmiel now give you access to the same materials that provided the platform for their students achievement at Montgomery High. Larry Krieger earned his B.A. and M.A.T. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his M.A. from Wake Forest. In a career spanning three decades, in North Carolina and later in New Jersey, Mr. Krieger taught sociology, American history, world history, and European history, retiring in 2004. It was Mr. Krieger who established Montgomery High Schools AP Art History program and later team-taught with Frank Chmiel. Mr. Krieger is also the author of numerous United States history and world history textbooks. Currently, Mr. Krieger presents SAT workshops in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Denver, and Charles County, Maryland. Over the past four years, Frank Chmiel, a 1998 graduate of Princeton University, has taught more than 400 students in AP Art History, and a number of them have been motivated to continue their study in art history at the college level, including study abroad. Mr. Chmiel has also taught a lecture series entitled “Christian Art from the Catacombs to the Cathedrals,” as well as “Christian Art from the 14th through 16th Centuries” at Nassau Christian Center Church in Princeton. In 2005 he participated in the “Teachers as Scholars Program” through Princeton University, focusing on 19th-century French painting. Mr. Chmiels nine-year teaching career has also included classes in 20th-century U.S. history, world history, and criminal justice.
