Much like art itself, the answer to the question, "Is art without meaning decoration?" is very much subjective. Vocabulary.com defines art as "the expression of ideas and emotions through a physical medium." That being said, I believe that any object or subject matter portrayed in a piece of artwork is the idea itself. So, when students demonstrate value by shading a seemingly meaningless sphere, that sphere becomes the idea. And where there is an idea, there is art.
