Caricatures

Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary. They can serve a political purpose or simply be used for entertainment. These exaggerated images of politicians are commonly used in editorial cartoons along caricatures of movie stars or friends and family, or even a whole social scenery.
 
What will we be doing?
During this course, we will learn how to draw and identify faces, all the while developing speed to put down a convincing image. We will also acquire knowledge of breaking down caricature and prepare your artwork for publication, as well as identify new ways to practice on your own, learn what tools are essential to get you started (like the difference between pencil or coloured caricatures).
 
Shanin will be demonstrating how to draw quick caricatures from photographs and live models, rendering an image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way through sketching, pencil strokes, or through other artistic expressions.
 
All that will be poured into a cheerful but focused week, with an emphasis on the funniness of it.
