On the monochrome first: I really like the softness of this drawing. It's obviously a green piece, but I can see that there is plenty of color in there. Color-wise, the most complex areas seem to me to be the vertical "box" to the right of the figure and some of what's happening in the upper right. I think you could probably bring some of this complexity into other areas as well (in the man's clothes, perhaps?). Also, I wonder if there could be more contrast in the whole piece. You don't seem to have many dark values. Mixing a dark green with dark blue and purple might give you some darker tones to bring into the rest. You might also consider making some of your highlights lighter by inflecting the color with a little bit of white. Overall, it's a compelling image, made even more so by the strangely vibrant color palette.
For your Cubist collage: This is one of my favorite of the Cubist collages. It's relatively simple (in a good way), but you have such interesting shapes, tones, and colors that the whole is very dynamic. The viewer certainly gets a sense of flowers in a vase, but the shapes are sufficiently scrambled to make it somewhat abstract. The only thing I might suggest is to insert some kind of subtle diagonal along the bottom edge of the drawing. All the other areas are energized by numerous diagonals, whereas along the bottom there are fewer. Overall, really nice job on this!
the monochrome has a really soft affect to it. it makes me feel like were seeing the perspective of a person who is very dizzy and is just some how high. its so interesting. i still feel like you get a scene what is actually happening and i think thats what i love more about this piece
your cubist collage is so playful. it feels like my eye has so much to look at and i love it. i feel like I see a body, some flowers, eyes flouting all over the place. the color add so much to this to point where things don't feel harsh.
