Caricature

Caricature is an exaggerated rendition of an image and its features. I believe that caricature is more real than realism because an artist can evoke more feelings from his or her audience through exaggeration. These emotions that are provoked from the animation are real which then makes the caricature real. The artist can show emotions, feelings, and fear by not limiting the actions of a character. Through satirizing the artist can take something like a lamp and give it human qualities. It is these qualities given to the object that makes the object real: The “art of animation had the power to make the audience actually feel the emotions of the cartoon figure” (Thomas and Johnston 15).
