subject: Caricature Artists - How They Entertain At Your Party [print this page] If you have ever stopped to watch a street artist draw then you understand the appeal of caricature entertainment. Likewise, when a caricature artist shows up at your party, your guests will come by and watch as the volunteer in the hot seat gets his turn.
When you provide caricature entertainment, one or more caricature artists set up at your event and create quick sketch drawings of your guests on the spot. Drawings are completed in only a few short minutes and are given to the guests to take home.
Some clients use the caricature drawings as a party favor. Many guests will frame the drawings and keep them for years.
Business clients who are offering caricature entertainment as part of promotional events such as trade shows and open houses use the drawings to aid their marketing efforts. They may choose to have their logos, contact information and marketing message imprinted onto the drawing paper for this purpose.
Typically, caricature artists are seated in one place. They set up a portable easel or drawing table and guests come to them to watch or be drawn.
Caricature artists make it look easy, it takes years of experience to develop sufficient drawing skill to maintain consistent quality and speed in a fast-paced environment.
And then the artist has to have excellent interpersonal skills and flexibility to handle all of the situations that can come up in the course of a party or special event, and still maintain her cool. So the caricaturist who comes out to your party is a true professional.
Caricature entertainment or live quick-sketch caricature can be found at all kinds of events ranging from family and children's birthday parties to large corporate promotional events. Other kinds of events where you may see caricaturists are gala fundraisers, high school after-prom parties, Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, employee appreciation and team-building events and college events.
Clients can be families, businesses of all sizes, schools and colleges, and community organizations. People have hire artists to draw at birthday parties, anniversary parties, holiday parties, pool parties, retirement parties, family reunions, and company picnics.
Occupants of an artist's 'hot seat' come from every walk of life and range from babes in arms to people in their nineties, and even pets(!)
Caricature entertainment is extremely versatile and works for guests of every age group.
But the best part is that both clients and guests find caricature entertainment to be fun. And the caricature artist is often the most popular person at the party and often the last to leave.
