I don't think art without meaning can be considered art. I think it is more decoration than art because art should portray an underlying message using an image.

I chose line as my element and used mostly line like strokes to create the majority of the pieces that make up my project, I chose to work with charcoal because I am comfortable using charcoal and Mr.

Sands had the great idea of creating my piece on planks of wood that we cut into 3 pieces and I am making a collection with 3 different animals on each third of the wood. I chose to do a lion, tiger and bear because I found an image of a bear made up only line strokes and from there I got the idea.
