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.
