Activity

Step 1

Go outside and look around. Find two items that interest you. One should be small and able to fit in your hands. The other should be very big, so that your whole body could fit inside of it.

Step 2

Choose a friend that you would like to draw or use yourself.

Step 3

Draw the small item very large and your friend very small. For example, imagine if your friend, who is now very small, could climb inside or on top of a shoe.

Step 4

Now draw the large item very small and your friend very large. For example, if you are using a tree, draw your friend holding the tree in her hands.
