Art21 video "History"

Watching the Art21 video "History" I have learned 10 facts

1 The series of paintings called the coloring book painting were based off of kids drawings.

2 Glen Ligon was the first to use black neon signs in art

3 French citizens had electricity in their homes during the french revolution

4 Although electricity was available only oil was used in the streets of France because it was more "ascetic" 

5 Solitude is an important factor to becoming an artist.

6 The Glitney is the place with a majority of Glen Ligon's work

7 Coal dust is used in Ligen's work because of its shine and how it is defined as something useless.

8 Artists do not make a lot of money.

9 Glen Ligen uses stencils and oil crayon together because they counter act each other.

10 Picasso spent his entire life learning how to draw like a child.
