Reflect on the art and cultural production in the era of social media. Locate an artistic endeavor reliant on social media. Identify the form of art practice (deviant art, appropriation, new forms/methods, artistic promotion/distribution) and discuss how elements of social media make the art possible.

One art that I see a lot on social media has to do with sports editing and imaging. Kind of like what Darton does for example. There are people who do animations and drawings of athletes, and they are able to do that on their own computer with their time. They can use their social media to reach out and connect with other people who do the same thing or teams or organizations that would use their services. For example here is NFL quarterback Cam Newton in a Patriots uniform. The thing is he is not on the Patriots and never has been. Someone was able to edit and artistically edit his whole uniform to make it look like he is.
