A caricature is a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person, animal or object to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary and can serve a political purpose or be drawn solely for entertainment. Caricatures of politicians are commonly used in editorial cartoons while caricatures of movie stars are often found in entertainment magazines. Come put your imagination to the test as you discover the “caricature” within you.
