I definitely would consider memes to be art. I think it expresses people’s individuality just like a painting would. It also brings out the humor in things or people.. just like memes of Kanye West, Hilary Clinton, animals, or even our president, Donald Trump. I think they bring about politics and things that is going on in the real world to bring humor back into our lives. They are actually a really cool thing that bring out the significance that allows people to express emotions that sometimes can be a motivation. It is definitely art, because just like a real artist…, it took time and dedication to come up with something original that the public can enjoy. I created this meme because my friend and I were doing one of those videos to where we made ourselves look ugly with makeup and then did our makeup better to show people what makeup can actually do. I thought it would be funny to use this picture for this because I thought it fit perfectly.
Lol this was a funny meme choice because she looks crazy haha. But I definitely agree with you that meme’s bring out the significance of a subject and adds humor to bring out the laugh in people. I would say meme’s are art as well because it does take time and thought to come up with something that’s interesting or controversial and add humor to it because I was having a hard time coming up with my own meme lol. You did good though.
This is a good one! Although I can’t really relate to the make-up part, I do agree with you that memes do express emotion. To me, it seems this form of art expresses more emotion that others..or maybe that’s be cause I see more of these than anything else.
That is a funny meme I do not use make up so I figure if I tried I would probably look like that. I agree that memes are art just it is a more direct approach to saying something.
We live in an age where technology is at the forefront of almost everything we do, and most of our peers have some sort of social media presence. I think memes can be funny and intelligent, sarcastic and meaningful. They are one form of communication, in a world where communication is at the forefront of everything we do, especially online.
