I believe that art doesn't have to have meaning. I also don't think it's up to the teacher/viewer to determine if there is or isn't meaning. Even if you ask someone if there is meaning there could be some underlying meaning that they might not want to share and reject the idea that there is meaning. Decoration isn't a bad thing either. You might create something because you like the material. People create their style using the same material but once they have multiple random objects with that material it might not mean anything to them. It might be the material. But you still created something from you and that should be enough for the art to then become meaningful to you.
The element I choose was value. I think my piece focuses more on value rather than form, because with stippling, you focus more on your lights and darks to create the art, rather than focusing on things like depth. I choose to do stippling with pen and ink because the project was suggested to do in a comfortable medium, rather than trying something new. I have done a couple different stippling in the past but for this project I had better materials that made my project better than my past work. For this project I experimented on changing pen sizes and experimented with the smallest size. I love working with stippling and even my favorite artist focuses on pointillism, so I really gravitate towards that style. I stayed in my comfort zone a little more with this piece because I feel that i am still learning the techniques of stippling. I choose to do a Popsicle because it has some nice simple shapes that provide simpler transitions of value. I would like to choose a more complicated piece in the future with stippling.
