Ways of seeing

Our life is composed by beliefs, behaviours, traditions and images but there is something beyond. This is the sensitiveness with which we have to see the reality of the world.
It is important to talk about the art of seeing is affected but what we know or what we believe in. That occurs because all of us are diverse.
In addition, that happens because our previous knowledge helps us to structure a more complete sight or appearance of what we watch.
Certainty, we can see and we can be seen too. This is related with our position in space and time. When we see, we situate ourselves in a certain place. In contrast, when we are seen there is a spectator who situates us in a place.
So, the way in which we see has different approaches or meanings of what see represents, according to our history that includes the past.
I think that the art in general is more common for us through mass media. That is why the art of seeing has a familiar feature. That is, being a social work out which implies to understand spontaneously, with just watch, our culture, our past and our identity.
