Making a small object look larger or opposite of minatures

Thanks all for the advice. I was able to pick up View Camera Technique by Leslie Strobel at the College Library. I had some success with this assignment but I agree with others as to learning the camera and the movements prior to doing this... This was our first assignment and when I probed the teacher she could not answer any of my questions. She is a recent MFA Grad and does not have the experience required to teach this class but none of the more experienced professors were available. The only time she ever used a 4x5 was when she was in the same class i am attending. BTW I truly enjoy using this camera. I normally shoot Medium format 6x7 but this is a new world

Somebody should warn you not to forget "the bellows factor" if you're going in close.
