Pupils are shown some examples of caricatures in the museum’s collection – from the 18th century to the present day - and then learn how to simply draw funny portraits of some famous people. Then after examining how to draw their own cartoon faces in different styles, there’s a fun competition in which one lucky person wins a quick caricature of themselves by the tutor.
