INTRODUCTION:

Scale refers to the size of the object and context refers to to the use and purpose of that object. A change in the scale or size of the object leads to a change in its context. So the purpose of this activity was basically to change the context of an object by changing its dimensions.

WARM-UP ACTIVITY:

In this we were asked to draw various orientations of a sharpener and in the meanwhile also to observe its form and components.

MAIN ACTIVITY:

For the main activity, we were asked to change the scale of the object in order to change its context and present two innovative outcomes.

My outcomes:

Shop: By increasing the size of the sharpener, I created a shop out of it in which the blade would be the cover/flap of the shop.
Heater: In this, I not only increased its size but also replaced the blade with a heating rod.

REFLECTION:

The whole activity was very exciting. It opened a new way of possibilities among us. I believe that this activity tried to break those pre-conceived notions which are in our mind about an object. It focuses more on the size or the way it is placed of the object in order to change a particular notion about it.

LEARNING MANTRA:

Even the tiniest object may fulfil a wonderful purpose if applied properly.
