Understanding Scale and Perspective

Mr. Andersen explains how scale can be used to determine perspective in various systems, such as paintings and apples. He demonstrates how different scales provide different perspectives and insights, using examples like pointillism in art and the structure of an apple. The video encourages viewers to apply these concepts to everyday objects and scientific phenomena, emphasizing the importance of understanding scale for gaining new perspectives.
