ABSTRACT

Art is beauty, reasoning, science and profession. Medicine is an art because it combines all these skills. But in the practice of medicine, experience is required and it can only be obtained through practice. Dermatology is also an art; it is learned through looking.To look is the act of perceiving the color and form of things through the eyes. The dermatologist utilizes art to learn, he uses observation, knowledge, reasoning to observe artwork. And through these acts he starts to observe figures, colors, and finally forms a pattern. After repeating this act, he establishes experience, and that is when the dermatologist learns the true art of dermatology, the art of seeing.
