 PROPORTION

Proportion is the principle of art that refers to relative

size. The principles of art differ from the elements of art.
Most, if not all of the principles of art deal with how the
elements art are arranged in a work of art.Proportion is
largely about the relationship of the size of one element
when compared to another. When drawing or painting
realistically, proportion is important. If the proportions
are incorrect, then the resulting image will look less
realistic or abstracted.

When drawing or painting realistically, proportion is

Alternatively, artists can use proportion for effect.

By manipulating proportion, the artist can make
his/her subject seem strong, weak, funny,
mysterious, etc. We can exaggerate proportions to
emphasize a meaning or an element within the
scene. For example, a caricature artist distorts
proportion in order to create a stylized image of the
subject.
WHAT IS PROPORTION IN Proportion simply refers
DRAWING to the size relationships
between objects. If you
want to draw a subject or
scene with accurate
proportions, you must
employ proper techniques
and train your eyes over
time. ... The more time
you spend trying to
improve the accuracy of
your drawing, the better
you will “see
WHAT IS PROPORTION IN Proportion refers to the
ART AND DESIGN? relative size and scale of
the various elements in
a design. The issue is
the relationship between
objects, or parts, of a
whole. This means that
it is necessary to
discuss proportion in
terms of the context or
standard used to
determine proportions.
HOW IS PROPORTION USED
IN ART?
Scale is used in art to
describe the size of one
object in relation to another,
each object is often referred
to as a whole. Proportion has
a very similar definition but
tends to refer to the relative
size of parts within a whole.
... Essentially, scale and
proportion help the viewer
make sense of the

WHAY IS AN EXAMPLE OF
PROPORTION
A proportion is really
two ratios that are
equivalent to each other.
Here is an example:
There are several ways
to tell if two ratios form
a proportion. ... If the
products are equal, the
two ratios form a
proportion.
