VISUAL IMAGERY TASK<br />
Julian Opie is known for his ability for reducing<br />
the essence of a person down to the simplest<br />
form: the outline of their body. He is able to<br />
suggest digitally a person’s status, emotion<br />
and level of confidence through their posture<br />
and the way they walk – zooming in on the<br />
fundamental details of a person’s physicality<br />
and reproducing this in a digital form.<br />
Cross-curricular note:<br />
This could be combined<br />
with an Art and Design<br />
class if the students were<br />
able to study and practise<br />
the work of Julian Opie in<br />
more depth within their art<br />
lessons. They may wish to<br />
photograph, sketch or paint<br />
images from their trios,<br />
duets and solos created<br />
in the dance lessons.<br />
Look at Julian Opie’s paintings, figure 1 and 2 below:<br />
If there was another image before and after each of the images in these<br />
paintings what would they be? Can you sketch them?<br />
