Some artists paint on canvas, others sculpt with clay. Tim George uses an Etch a Sketch. He's so good, in fact, that the Ohio Statehouse is showcasing 56 Ohio-themed Etch a Sketch pieces of art by Mr. George this month. The display pays tribute to Ohio's eight presidents, the Statehouse, symbols of Ohio, and much more. The Etch a Sketch was invented by a French electrician named Andrew Cassagnes in the 1950s. The Ohio Art company in Bryan, Ohio produced the first Etch a sketch in 1960 - and the rest is history.
