Scale/Proportion

3. Example
Salvador Dalí – The Elephants
Dalí distorts the proportion of elephants with long, thin legs to create a surreal, dreamlike image, showing how changing scale can evoke emotion and imagination
Ancient Egyptian Wall Paintings
Larger figures represent higher status (like pharaohs), while smaller ones show servants or enemies. This clear visual hierarchy is a classic use of scale to show importance
Michelangelo – David
The head and hands are enlarged to correct for the viewer’s low angle and to emphasize strength and thought, making it a powerful use of proportion to create impact and ideal beauty
