Value Scale Composition

This picture is made of mostly geometric shapes. It is centered directly in the middle of the page. It has four different value shades to it. The shades include; white, light gray, dark gray, and black. The picture has three half circles, two hole circles, and one 3/4 circles.

To me this is very organized. The picture appears very slow moving. All the objects circulate each other. This picture to me is an abstract object. It doesn't relate to anything but its work quality is appreciated.

Overall i really like this picture. I like how all the shapes flow together. I also like the contrast to the piece (going from white to solid black).

Ok well first of all I'm am going to critique this with out looking at Diana's critique. Because I was supposed to critique Chris's piece and vis versa with my piece, but because of Diana smoking crack she decided to critique two of them leaving me no available pieces. Chris's piece is mostly made up of different shades of the gray scale. Their points are sticking out in all different directions. There are two rectangles in the piece located in the bottom and right side of the piece. There are also some circles spread out of the piece with most of them not complete.
This piece is not very well organized. It looks like it has no meaning in the arrangement. Like the pieces were just put together to whatever pleased him. No emotion comes to me off of this piece.
Overall I really don't like this piece. It has no meaning of arrangement of the pieces or no meaning of the shade of gray that the pieces are.
