These pieces are both great examples of monochromatic artwork. Monochromatic basically refers to a piece of all one hue. This piece can use many different values and saturation, but it only uses one hue throughout the entire piece. Monochromatic art can be great for a few reasons; It’s very effective in portraying a specific emotion, using all one color is a simple way of achieving unity, and, in some cases it can be more interesting simply because of that choice. For example, in these pieces, the top one seems to create a feel of calmness while the bottom creates a feel of excitement and vibrancy simply because of the hues that were used.
