COLOR MANIPULATIONS- PRE-ASSIGNME

Our second assignment is called color manipulation. Our example for this is the famous Andy Warhol photographer. Andy Warhol was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
He'd take a picture and make kind of a collage with that image replicated and he'd manipulate the colors in 4 or more different ways.
This is one of his most famous image.


Our assignment is to do the same as Andy Warhol did. Instead of using people, we are using different types of flowers. Then, we have to play with the different colors and end up with an artistic and colorful photograph.
