how does giving you a grade help you.
the first abstract one is cool, but the second one is boring compositionally
and the last one is cliche and also boring compositionally.
i cant grade anything because what is an 100 like there are no defined standards it just doesnt make any sense theres no context.

i agree with snakes that the third one is cliche, and it also looks a lot sloppier and less interesting than your others. i do like the leaf one though, i think its the warm colours that win me over
uhh you cant really grade or "learn" abstract because thats what it is - abstract. just do things the way you want to or as they come into your head and concentrate on learning/refining your techniques 3nodding

yeah yall are right about the third one especially lol.. i asked you to grade me because i'm practising for my O level art exam in june. this is just the second abstract i've done and i asked you to grade me because i know that you guys have very high standards. i want to know where i stand with my color pieces because i hate and have shied away from using color until now. my art teacher will not be giving me a final grade; examiners in england will. i really would like to impress them. I want a grade A in my exam and i won't get it without being good at colour. So i need to know what kind of candidate i am right now, A, B, C, D, what. i know i'm not E or U though lol xd thas why i asked to be graded. please will you? even if its only the first pleeeaaasssseeee smile

grade me based on my technique and the way i used the colours. i'm confident that you will give me a true grade and that grade will help me to know how much further i have to go. basically you're telling me what level i am at right now. pretty please with a cherry on top?

So now just keep busting your a**.
That is how you improve at art.
Look at art.
Make more art.
Lather.
Rinse.
Repeat.

yeah, don't do something like that last one ever again. You can't teach taste, unfortunately.

Sorry I can't grade you, even though you sound very keen on being graded.
I can give you my opinion though. These look like traditional work; they look photographed. I wonder if they were cropped in the photograph, because, compositionally, I would have enjoyed more spatially stable, better positioned elements.
The first one's nice, I like the blending of colors but, and especially that you said what it's supposed to be, I think the lines could have been better curved, and have that contrasted with the non-smooth surrounding, which needs to be just more. The three patches of... blood? in the middle don't function for me. They're just not doing anything. I don't know what medium you used, but I think it looks a little dirty. Not that it's dirty, but the colors "look" dirty and dull. I would expect livelier colors for fertilization unless you want to express gloom. But to think of gloom just strikes a contradiction.
The leaf has warm colors indeed, but the cropping takes away a lot from it. I think it could use a lot more space around it. Negative space? Anyway. Give it context, despite its being abstract.

i agree with kngroach about the cropping thing
and actually feel that if the leaf were smaller and even if it was centered but it was much smaller, the peice would be a lot more effective
