After finishing my first pass through RC, I've noticed I have a tonne of trouble when it comes to passages based on the fine arts / art history. I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations for resources that go really in-depth into the theory/history surrounding various art styles / techniques / history?
This is mainly just something to pre-occupy my spare time and maybe learn a thing or two over the next few months.

I have the same issue and I think it is because I am not accustomed to the words, techniques, nor ideas that they talk about. It is hard to attribute my perspective to the ideas presented.
I'd recommend reading some art history books or books about famous artists - Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Manet, Monet, Raphael, etc!
honestly? here is what I do, and it works for ALL of RC : print out 5-6 page book reviews. in other words, some columnist/author who is REVIEWING the work of another author. then from this point, you can pick which books you want to see reviewed , such as art history, as you mentioned. I think youll find art history books themselves to be insufficient. The LSAT focuses more on a an author's PERSPECTIVE on another authors art, contribution to art history etc.
Just reverse-engineer 5-6 passages from RC. Anything that takes you away from PTs is the wrong direction.
