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 FAT which is your word hook. FAT is number 81 because an ‘F’ stands for 8 and T stands for 1. Now use your imagination to place FAT in the painting so you can link it to number 81 in your list of 100 artists. Do the same with the word FAN and so on……..
