Would Instagram be considered art?

Somedays I do Instagram and I wonder.... Would it be considered art?
To many it could be. Cause art is all the perspective of the person.
So anything that you see on a daily basis can be considered art. As in today, I was walking down the Mall on campus and an organization placed flags all over this section of grass. It says in the midst of them "9 11 NEVER FORGET". That is also art, even if it's not posted and edited on Instagram.
In my other art class, I found an artist that I'm basically in love with now. He did the Kanye West album cover as well, Takashi Murakami. His piece, Tan Tan Bo in 2001 was amazing and I really love it. It is technically considered pop culture art.

Here is a link to a fan page about Takshi Murakami: Takashi Murakami Fan Blog

His art is so different and colorful it makes me feel something. 
When learning in my other art class, we are also learning about Fiona Rae. There are so many artists that my professor for ARE130 talks about. But the only ones that have really caught my eye are these two. They are beautiful and colorful and not your contemporary art. It's so pretty. I'm just in awe.

Here is Fiona Rae's actual page: Fiona Rae's Website

I hope you enjoy looking at this art as much as I do. <3
