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 BAT which is your word hook. BAT is number 91 because an ‘B’ stands for 9 and T stands for 1. Now use your imagination to place BAT in the painting so you can link it to number 91 in your list of 100 artists. Do the same with the word BAN and so on……..
