Scale and Proportion

Below is an image of the Jeff Koon sculpture called "Balloon Dog" which was completed in 2001. The reason that this is a good example of scale and proportion is because of how immensely huge the sculpture is. According to ARTstor, it is roughly 10ft x 12ft x 3.75ft in size. This is obviously much larger than an actual balloon dog would be. This difference in size allows the viewer to see the balloon dog in a way that they would not normally. A regular balloon dog would be small enough for the viewer to hold, whereas this one is big enough to the point where they could ride it. This difference in scale gives the viewer a different perspective as to what balloon animals are like.
