    Hi! I'm doing my leaving cert this year and while revising art history I just realised that my class haven't actually covered anything that came up in the European Art section of the 2016 exam paper. I think it was the only year this happened, but nonetheless I'm a little worried it could happen again.

    For European Art we've covered Renaissance Sculpture (only Ghiberti & Pissano), Impressionism (Degas, Money, Pissarro & Renior), Post-Impressionism (Cézanne, Gauguin & van Gogh), Fauvism (Matisse) and Cubism (Picasso). None of these came up in 2016.

    I've been considering learning Romanesque and Gothic architecture since it seems to come up every year. I'm really looking for a H1 in Art if possible. I know it's a difficult grade to get, but I can hope! Basically I'd like to know if Romanesque & Gothic architecture would take a long time to study and if any current/past art students would advise it at this stage?

    While they are both nice chapters you would have to cover gothic and Romanesque sculpture too as well as stained glass to be safe I think
