proportion



Proportion has to do with the size and relationship of one part to another. By itself the size of an object is only meaningful when compared to the size of another object. For example, imagine you meet an alien how can you tell if its a child or an adult? you can only tell that when you see either another alien which is smaller or bigger. Therefore proportion is only implied when the an object is compared to another. For example, the image above has 2 different breeds of dogs. Notice that one of them is bigger and the other is smaller. Even their physical appearance are not really the same as well. One of them has longer legs while the other has short legs.
