Scale is most often used in architectural sketches, paintings, drawings and other artistic mediums. Artists create scales for drawings to correctly show the size relationship between objects. For example, an artist may decide that 1 inch is equivalent to 10 feet.
Scale and proportion in art are both concerned with size. Scale refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole). In art the size relationship between an object and the human body is significant. In experiencing the scale of an artwork we tend to compare its size to the size of our own bodies.
