"Seeing comes before words"


Every person is unique. So that means that what every person see is unique too.

The way we see things are affected by our different experiences and ours believes. That is why if two different people are in front of a painting, they may see it in a totally different way. Sometimes with a painting we can share some one else experience or feelings. Sometimes words can’t express what a painting can.


With the invention of the camera, the way of seeing change. Paintings, images, pictures etc. were no longer unique; copies of them appeared all over the world. There was no need for the person to move to see the painting. The painting moves to the person.

For me, this chapter was significant, because it showed me that even though we are pretty similar to each other, at the same time we are really different.
