Proportion

Proportion refers to the size of objects in relation to each other. Sometimes, that can mean an artist makes something way bigger than it actually is in real life for a dramatic effect to capture attention, or to make a point in some regard. Or it could be way tinier. Or also pieces of the image can be changed to have different proportions among themselves, for example.

I think this first image is super interesting. It causes the Eiffel Tower to seem way smaller than it actually is in the water-filled wine glass. This causes the viewer to think differently about the Eiffel Tower, and offers a fresh and interesting perspective on such a beautiful and well-loved image. The tininess of the massive tower's reflection is really what catches the viewer's eye.

The second image is a piece from ArtPrize. The sunglasses are blown up to be way larger than they ever would be in real life. This not only catches the attention of passers-by, but provides space for the artist to talk about what they want to with their art (the back side has images of Detroit. The size of the art helps add to the meaning.)

I took the final image, and I felt it was an example of proportion. Even though nothing is actually changed in size, the grass blades SEEM proportionally way larger than we normally see them in everyday life. Normally, we cannot see these grass blades at all and do not stop to notice them. However, they are enlarged for this image, providing a unique and interesting perspective on the world. The attention to detail is inviting, unique and beautiful.
