In reading a 14 page article on the aesthetics of art, a direct quote (no, I did not embellish with italics, those were actually there) on scale:
- "A good example of the difference between well proportione and scale is doll clothing. The tiny buttons found on doll clothes are well proportioned to the collar, sleeves, and other details in the clothes. The buttons are a good scale for the doll. However, when the doll clothes are considered in real-sized human terms, the buttons are much too small. The scale is too small for a grown woman to wear" (Kahn, Ph.D. 2004)
Some other highlights from this article:
- "When you add white to blue to white, it becomes baby blue, but when you add black instead of white to blue, you get navy blue"
- "Line can be defined in numerous ways. It can be an elongated mark, connecting between points, or the edge of an object."
- And four entire pages on the color wheel which references a black and white diagram of the wheel.

O Lord. What you are currently experiencing is what I remember as the transition from Edina High School to college in which you must take a step back before you can move forward. Keep in mind, some of your classmates went to school with 22 kids, and may not be as familiar with things like words.
can i just say that i love you?
