Out of Proportion Big Bug Pictures

This week in art class we talked about proportion and scale and the different artists who create either small scale or large scale work. Scale model artist Michael Paul Smith creates impressive models that appear to be life-size because of the carefully placed camera angles. We discussed how the movie industry uses scale models for special effects. For large scale artists we talked about Ron Mueck who creates large scale human sculptures that are hauntingly realistic. Each student created a city scene with enormous colored bugs in the foreground.
