Post 2 samples of his art. Answer the following questions for each piece.

Title of the piece?

Describe the color that he utilizes. Does he use any particular color scheme?

What do you notice about the artwork itself?

Red Race Riot

This work utilizes the color magenta everywhere. So this would be a monochromatic color scheme.

I notice about the work that one image is repeated at least once in the work. Also the artwork seems to merely be a bunch of photographs that are made of the colors magenta and black instead of the typical black and white that is expected from old photographs.

Goethe

Interestingly, this artwork uses a variety of different colors. The picture of the man is repeated and each repitition has a different bunch of colors. The top right picture appears to have a triadic color scheme with the primary utilization of red- blue, and yellow. The top left picture appears to have a 'cool' color scheme, the bottom left one seems to have a 'normal' color scheme, and the bottom right may have a 'dusk' color scheme.

Like some of Warhol's other works, this picture also seems to consist of a single picture repeated many times with each repitition having different color schemes.
