The following research paper presents the main characteristics of caricatures gathered from the artistic-pedagogical experiences and the study carried out in the research project Caricatura: Educación y procesos artísticos de los estudiantes del grupo Milán-CLAN Castilla, conducted in te BA in Visual Arts of Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de Colombia. This allowed us to recognize caricatures as an important tool to develop contents in arts education, aside from promoting the creation of one's own aesthetic, the knowledge of the comic, the strengthening of the fundamental concepts of visual arts, the development of critical thinking, new dynamics in education and horizontal relationships, as well as new ways of seeing the world. Based on the caricatures of iconographic characters, the construction of thoughts, values and convictions was generated. This paper presents the main analyzes made about the caricature (aesthetics of the comic, physiognomy, and morphology) within teaching and the possibilities of practice for the understanding of the visual part.

Keywords : caricature; visual artistic education; aesthetics of the comic; morphology; physiognomy; artistic processes.
