i got 7 right out of 11, but it's all art.
i guessed at pretty much all of them except for one, which appeared to me to be trees reflected in water.10/11 right. I think the only difference is the precision of brushstrokes. I got the marbly one wrong. I have a toddler and she is clearly genius, as im sure all parents think their toddlers are. We have several of her pieces displayed

ugh, I hate modern abstract. It is such a pretentious form imo. Keep in mind I'm not talking about abstract as in distorted reality (something like piccaso) but things like smudges on a canvas. Maybe I just don't get it, but it all seems like a bunch of BS to me tbh.

It deals with fundamental elements such as color, texture, and composition. These have an effect on the senses in a real manner, just like food has a taste to you.
You take in all things through your senses, vision is no exception. So it's like salad vs. steak and potatoes vs. soup. Maybe you don't prefer soup but that doesn't mean there's nothing going on with that soup.
I sorta agree though. To me abstract art like this looks nice, but at the same time I wouldn't pay the huge sums of money some of these artists get for it while in the meantime there are still kids starving in Africa. There's only so much you can feel from random splatters.
