WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Works and contexts, from your notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This tool splits the text you paste by rule and returns cards. It cannot see an image, so photograph the works into the app rather than into this box.
Writing changes what an answer may claim
An inscription naming a patron turns a guess about purpose into evidence about it. That is a genuine methodological shift from the previous unit, and answers here can be more assertive because the support exists. Continuing to hedge everything reads as caution where the material allows precision.
Placement tells you the intended audience
A sculpture on the outside of a temple addressed everyone who passed; one inside addressed those admitted. Asking who was meant to see this, and under what circumstances, converts a description of a work into an argument about the society that installed it.
A canon is a choice, not a discovery
Fixed proportions for representing a body express a view about what a body should be, and departures from the canon are therefore meaningful rather than incompetent. Recognising the system lets you read a deviation as a statement, which is the move that separates the upper bands.
Roman portraiture uses age deliberately
Where an idealised tradition smoothed a face, Roman portraits often show lines and years, and that is an argument about experience and fitness to lead. Comparing two portrait traditions and naming what each chose to show is one of the most reliable question shapes in the unit.
Repetition across a territory is evidence of a programme
When the same form appears in distant provinces, someone decided it should. That turns a stylistic observation into a claim about administration and communication, and it is the kind of link between object and power that comparison questions in this unit are built to reward.

What is AP Art History Unit 2?
The Ancient Mediterranean, roughly 3500 BCE to 300 CE: the art of the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece, the Etruscans and Rome.
How does it differ from Unit 1?
Writing exists. Inscriptions and texts turn claims about intention into claims the evidence supports, so answers can be more assertive.
Why does placement matter?
Because it identifies the intended audience. A work on a temple exterior addressed passers by; one inside addressed those admitted.
What is the point of a canon of proportions?
It expresses a view of what a body should be, which makes any departure from it meaningful rather than a failure of skill.
Why do Roman portraits show age?
Because visible years were an argument about experience and fitness to lead, in contrast to traditions that idealised the face.
What does repetition across an empire show?
That someone decided it should appear there, which links style to administration and communication rather than to taste alone.
