This week I decided to research Dan Flavin, an artist that works with lights. He studied at the University of Maryland Extension program in Korea to get his art degree. He also went to Hans Hofmann school of Fine Arts in New York in 1956. In 1959, he started working in drawing and painting that influenced the start of his abstract expressionism. In 1961, he created bunch of drawings for sculptures that had electric lights, which really where his success comes handy. He went on to take those drawings and make lights into monochromatic canvases, then later on worked with fluorescent tubes.

I feel as though his art works super well when drawing in space. I love how his installations provide these reflections onto the ground and made the piece bigger then what it actually seems to be. Especially when moving in different directions, you can make the reflection longer or shorter. Even though Dan Flavin offers this minimalist style, he makes his art super fun to look at. I think this is something I would want to try and create in the future.
