| Caricatures are extremely popular artists for parties and festivals, and they should be because they are really fun. Even the aristocracies of Italy and France in the 1500's enjoyed caricatures. In fact, that is where this form of art comes from. Caricatures were originally only for the rich because they required a lot of work and only the best of the artists were said to do it correctly. The first book of Caricatures came out in 1762. It was full of caricatures of famous people of the time, especially politicians. They have been and still are the focus of many Caricature artists work. Nowadays caricature artists can be found on beach boardwalks, circus's and even sporting events. These artists are different from the old ones however. Their style is more influenced by cartoons these days and instead of them taking hours it only takes a few minutes for an artist to draw as a famous football player next to Madden. That is why Caricatures are such a great thing for small and private parties. Since they only take a few minutes, all of the guests at your parties can get an entertaining picture of themselves without missing much of the party. |
