You might also think of illustrations in newspapers. These are used to comment on the politics of the day.And when you see these caricatures of politicians or celebrities, it’s often instantly recognisable — even when their features are wildly exaggerated. So how does a caricaturist capture someone’s likeness while bending reality so far? In this lecture, writer, director, and artist Charlie Faulks explores how caricatures are built: breaking down the mechanics of likeness, exaggeration, and visual shorthand. Through examples of well-known politicians and celebrities alongside their caricature counterparts, Charlie reveals how artists decide what to exaggerate — and why it works.
