You can change the material of an object
or
You can change the scale (larger or smaller)
or
place the same object in a different context (“decontextualize” is how the art-cultured people called it).
It it quite funny if you think that for example children are doing this while learning from the “mistakes”.
And similar “mistakes” are called
art
by the same people who talk about decontextualization.
I’m not surprised if this makes contemporary art less attractive and enjoyable for the general public not in confidence with the art world.

Art sometimes is a pure expression of imagination:
as an object placed in an unusual place.
