Art defined by google is “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”

Memes can be categorized as an expression or application of creativity and skill. The effort that is being put into these memes showcase their ability in creating something new and unique, which could be said about anything related to art.

There is no one definition of what art is, wherever their is creativity….there is art.

Memes are here to stay and it is a great thing for Art, especially in this day and age where everything is digital. It is new and broadens the view-point of what art is considered to be.  It can also be a form of communication because it appeals to almost everyone who comes in contact with them. We all share the same experiences in life and it is good to know that we are not the only one who deal with them.

Memes are perfect for storytelling because the images being used gives the audience a better understanding of what is being said. It is a form of self expression. Each meme is unique to everyone’s experience and gives them an outlet or platform to showcase their creativity.
