The question of whether or not Memes represent art is a tricky one.  They are simply made with a photo along with some type of quote in a text box.  It’s difficult to classify that as art in comparison to some of the great art works like Michelangelo’s paintings in the Sistine Chapel.  However it is important to remember what makes art.  One aspect of art is the ability to make people feel or question their environment.  Memes can definitely make people laugh or smile or look at the world around them a little bit differently.  Although Memes seem silly in regards to the fine art world, they are an example of the evolving internet world we are living in.  Memes are created in order to share a person’s feelings with other people they don’t know.  That classifies the work as art.
