The ways of seeing

In our pre-language class, we watched a documentary which "the ways of seeing". It shows the different between the oil painting and publicity. It is similar but not the same.

Firstly, the author introduce the ADS are surrounding our life. It is why we want to alter the way of our life, then become a glamour girl or boy. People spend a lot of money to buy something, then from richer to poorer, and change their face, body which result in enviable. And then he concluded that without the society, glamour can not be exist.

Secondly, he illustrated that the oil painting described the fact of the life, such as sense, value and so on. The sources from the pose, gesture, sign of love. But compared to the ADS, it shows a dream for the people. The publicity purpose is make each of people to consume, to meet our desire, eager to our life.

Thirdly, he give us a question, why the glamour did not exist in the middle century. Because of the background of the society. We can easily to find how important about the society status in the history. So people can't have the dream, their life can change with their desire.

I think the documentary is value to investigate the arts and life, which explains many reason about the arts in now days. He also to compare the different aspect of the art to analyze the valuable. 

At all, it is a good lesson for us to think about the Art and life. Then give us a new angle to see the world.
