Creating Art Out of Celebrity Caricatures

Art has the potential to inspire some deep emotions in each of us.

Art can also be quite humorous, making us laugh and enjoy things by looking at them in an exaggerated way. There is a certain type of art which takes people and puts them into an exaggerated light. These are caricatures, which you surely have seen at some point during your life at an amusement park or perhaps on the wall of a steakhouse.

Caricatures take a person, often a celebrity, and draw them in a way that highlights some of that person's most recognizable traits and features.
