PENGERTIAN KARIKATUR
Karikatur adalah gambar atau penggambaran suatu objek konkret dengan cara melebih-lebihkan ciri khas objek tersebut, biasanya objek tersebut adalah waja manusia. Kata karikatur berasal dari kata Italia caricare yang berarti memberi muatan atau melebih-lebihkan.

Karikatur sebagaimana yang dikenal sekarang berasal dari Italia abad ke-16. Pada abad ke-18, karikatur telah menjangkau masyarakat luas melalui media cetak dan, terutama di Inggris, telah menjadi sarana kritik sosial dan politis. Selain sebagai bentuk seni dan hiburan, karikatur juga telah digunakan dalam bidang psikologi untuk meneliti bagaimana manusia mengenali wajah.
Dalam membuat karikatur, karikaturis melakukan observasi untuk menentukan ciri khas yang membuat subjeknya berbeda dari orang lain, dan melebih-lebihkan ciri tersebut. Untuk itu, karikaturis membandingkan wajah subjeknya dengan wajah orang rata-rata, dan melebih-lebihkan perbedaannya. Misalnya, jika subjek karikatur memiliki hidung yang lebih panjang dibandingkan orang rata-rata, gambaran hidung subjek tersebut di karikaturnya akan jauh lebih panjang. Namun demikian, bagaimana ciri khas tersebut dilebih-lebihkan sering bergantung pada gaya menggambar masing-masing karikaturis.
