Did it last year and the only real way to learn is to go to a museum and take lots of notes in terms of the Early Bronze Age stuff etc.. - Look at teh metal techniques and youll be able to describe then both the metal works and the stone crosses which try to copy teh techniques

The Stone Age with NewGrange can easily be found on the internet : i.e. Irish Stone Age

For the Ren. period pick about 4 famour artists and learn just about them, their life and being able to do quick drawings of their works - pick 3 -4 works for each artist
All About Artists

In terms of the last question go to the museum and look at it - go to two and compare them. There is generally a question about teh museums and you can write about the placments of the pictures, designed or converted museums etc.. Then also look at several objects and be able to describe the design and how they work - choose pens cause huge ammount of variety.

Hope that helps

You'll be grand don't panic...

there are revision books available .. rapid revision I think they are called ... well used to be ...don't know anymore ... the art one is really good ... pick bout 3 artists from different periods and study them well ... learn to do mini sketches of their work ... and review a film now ... watch a film a few times pausing taking notes on lighting during different scenes and things like that ... you can just re-write this review for you art appriciation question
