I remember in high school studying famous artists in preparation for Reach For The Top, a television quiz show. It really made no sense to do what this article suggests, which amounts to simply remembering who painted what. Most recently, working on my post about Art, it was a different story. I wasn't trying to remember anything, I was considering whether I not I appreciated the works, whether I would include them in a list of important art, and what I wanted to say about them. This is an activity that makes far more sense to me. You don't need to remember art you don't like. And you shouldn't have to.
