A Quick Tutorial on Scale and Proportion in Art

1/19/2017

87 Comments

 
Scale and art are elements of visual design that you can learn and master here at Art Smart. In this article, we will focus on these two elements and show you how these are applied in everyday situations.

But first, a quick question - ​are these two elements the same? No!

Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object. 

The relative size of artworks are almost always compared to the size of the human body. You will hear words like life-like or life-sized, miniature, gigantic or enormous. All these qualifiers of size use the human body as reference. 

Proportion, on the other hand, refers to the relative sizes of the different parts of a whole. The human body is the best example of this design principle. The human body, according to Leonardo da Vinci, shows the divine proportion or the golden ratio of 1.618. Studies show that many of our bones have the proportional relationship of 1: 1.618. 

To appreciate the differences better, the diagram below might help you visualize it.

Applications of scale in art and real life

Scale can be an interesting design principle. It can be used to illustrate sizes of objects in real-life or it can also be used as a form of art exaggeration. 

Applications of proportion in art and real life

Below are some photos of art that express proportionality in nature and in the human body. 

Applying scale and proportion in your work

Applying these design principles are especially important in making your artwork more naturally pleasing and real. Even outside the world of paintings and drawings, these principles have a huge impact in the way houses are created, landscapes are designed and interior designs are made. It would be impossible to live in a world without scale and proportion - unless we're drawn to the uniqueness disorder and disproportions create. 
At Art Smart, you can learn how scales and proportions are applied in every art class or session you attend to. We follow a strict 1:2 ratio where 1 art teacher supervises 2 students for maximum guidance and supervision.

Plastic Granules Dealers In delhi link
3/15/2023 10:57:47 pm

Plastic granules are small particles of plastic that are typically used as raw material in the manufacturing of plastic products. They are made by melting down larger pieces of plastic and then extruding the molten material through small holes to form small, uniform pellets. These pellets can then be molded, shaped, or extruded into a variety of different products. Plastic granules are commonly used in the injection molding and extrusion processes, as they can be easily melted and molded into the desired shape. They are also widely used in the production of plastic films, fibers, and resins.

A hipster panty is a type of women's underwear that sits low on the hips, providing more coverage than a traditional bikini or thong but less coverage than a full brief. The waistband of a hipster panty typically sits at or slightly below the hip bone, and the leg openings are generally wider than those of a bikini or thong.
