6 &7. Proportion & Scale
Ready to use, no prep: teach proportion and scale with 60 illustrated slides, the most complete deck in the set. Students learn sight-measuring with a pencil, face and figure proportions in head units, and how artists use scale for depth, emphasis and surreal effect.
Ready to use. No prep. Simply beautiful.
Open the file and start teaching. This Proportion & Scale deck is fully finished and classroom-ready, with nothing to build, edit or rearrange, so you can spend your time with students instead of making slides. Every slide is designed in a rich artistic style, with botanical borders, elegant vintage lettering and detailed sketchbook-style illustrations. The drawings and illustrations inside the deck inspire students with new ideas for their own artwork. Professional, polished and as beautiful as the art you teach.
This deck covers proportion first (how parts relate to the whole), then scale (how size relates to the viewer and setting). It is long enough to teach across several class periods.
