Dates can be learnt more easily if they are linked to a visual image such as the major memory system. Look back at Artists 1-10 to see how this is done. Note you have a key word like CHAT which is your word hook. CHAT is number 61 because CH stands for 6 and T stands for 1. Now use your imagination to place CHAT in the painting so you can link it to number 61 in your list of 100 artists. I think of the teeth of the dying in Gericault’s painting ‘the raft of the Medusa’. Do the same with the word CHAIN and so on……..
