What is a Meme?

What are those crazy Art Club Kids up to this week?

A 'meme' is a virally-transmitted cultural symbol or social idea. Most people have seen some example of the pet related lolcats meme; of course there are variations for dog lovers too. This week here at PCR-1 Art Club is celebrating Art Week to kick off Youth Art Month for the month of March. One of the daily fun expressions of that celebration is dressing up like one's favorite meme.  Art Club members especially love the memes which are art related. The majority of modern memes are captioned photos that are intended to be funny, often as a way to poke fun at human behavior. Other memes can be videos and verbal expressions. Some memes have heavier and more philosophical content. A few examples have been included here of both the funny and slightly serious ones.
