I am curious as to the thrust of this question---an attempt to start a debate, perhaps?
Permit me to posit a question in response: is an image taken with a digital camera a true photograph?
But, to answer: it depends. On many factors. Here's two factors:
One factor: what was the image creator's intent? A sheet of paper, scrawled with crayons by a 3-year-old, is a type of "art".
Another factor: is the image defined as "art" in the eye and mind of the beholder?
I think that these two factors outweigh all other considerations.
