Remix of the MoMA Learning lesson on Investigating Identity, what is identity, how did the artist Glenn Ligon use identity and race in his work.

The five lessons that comprise this guide may be used sequentially or as independent units. An introduction to the key principles of each lesson is followed by a close examination of the works, including historical context and information on the artist. Discussion questions based on the images lead students through formal analysis of the artworks and seek to create connections between information and visual evidence. The activities that conclude each lesson encourage students to synthesize what they have learned about the works, and carry the lessons into the broader curriculum or relate it to skills students are practicing in the classroom.
