2- Now it’s time to improve for next presentation. Write down a LITERAL
TRANSCRIPTION of your presentation.
Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes??

Now, I’m going to talk about curious images. There are lots of types of this, but I
have chosen some of them.
I’m going to show you some types of optical illusions, impossible figures, hide
images and curious paintings by Dalí and other artists.
1. Cafewall
 Do you see parallel lines in the bottle? Horizontally?
 Well, this optical illusion is called cafewall because was discovered in the
wall of a café by Richard Gregory and other collaborators.
 It seems that the files aren’t been separated by parallel lines…but, like
(as) you can see in the second image, the lines are parallel.
 It is caused because (by) the different position of the black and white
squares.
2. Ouchi Illusion
 Here you have to look the bottle and move your head…but, only a little…
 When we move our head the bottle seems to are on moving.
 This optical illusion is called Ouchi illusion, because the Japanese Hajime
Ouchi was its inventor.
3. Rot snake
 This optical illusion is called rot snake because each round represents
one snake on moving.
 These are two examples of companies who use the rot snake in his
adverts.
 Here (It) is an advert of Time Force watches and here (It) is a shop
window of a Milano’s shop.
 This illusion is very good because the rounds are on moving all time.
 Its inventor is Kitaoka and the popularity of his optical illusion has done
that it has been used for lots of companies to adverts.
4. Impossible figures
 In 2004 Audi launched an advertising campaign to promote a new car. The
slogan was “The progress isn’t an illusion” and it’s (was) based on the use
of the impossible figures to do the adverts.
 The campaign had:
o Press adverts like the image on your left (with an impossible
balcony).
o And visual adverts, where the car went trough a city which has
some impossible places.

o The images on your right are examples of the city. Here, the pillars
aren’t possible and here, the bridge is also impossible.
5. Hide images
 Here we have hide images, are pictures that depending on each person
there is one or another object.
 Sometimes is difficult to see the second object but these are very easy.
 On the first picture there is an Indian who has a black hair and a big nose…
but we also see an Eskimo from behind.
 The second picture is very popular and I’m sure you see it. If we look it from
left to right we see a rabbit and if we see it from right to left we see a duck.
 And on the third we can see a face of a girl (the eyes, the nose, the mouth) ,
and also, a man saxophonist (the hair, the nose, the saxo).
6. Dali’s paintings
Now, I’m going to show you some hide images in two Dalí paintings.
 “Swans representing elephants” (1937)
o At first, we have swans representing elephants. Swan, in Catalan,
means “cigne”.
o Here, the title is already telling us the effect.
o Swans are reflected on the water and their reflexes are elephants.
o I think it’s a very good painting because the swans and their reflexes
are perfect.
 “Paranoiac face” (1935)
o The second is called Paranoiac face.
o One day, Dalí, reading his papers found this postcard. And quickly, he
saw a face and he decided to paint it.
o The result was it. Here we can see the face better because he has
painted some trees for represent the hair.
7. Other artists
And finally, I’m going to show you curious paintings by other artists.
- John Pug
 At first the paintings by John Pug.
 They are really impressive because they seem real
 In these two murals it seems that the walls are destroyed but no, they are
paintings.
- André Martin de Barros
 And to finish, I show you the paintings of André Martin de Barros, who
uses fruits, books, flowers and trees to represent mans (men).
