Artists 51-60

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 LAD which is your word hook. LAD is number 51 because L stands for 5 and D stands for 1. Now use your imagination to place a LAD in the painting so you can link it to number 51 in your list of 100 artists. Do the same with the word LANE and so on……..
