The concept “vision” covers a series of psychical processes from reception of optical data to transformation of visual images in free imagination and purposeful thinking. Different parts of this series with their own elements and structures are involved in communication processes, including arts. They are discussed not only by psychologists, but also by art researchers and semioticians. The notion “ways of vision” gives a common point of view on formation of visual images in diverse intra-subject and inter-subject processes, in particular, creation and interpretation of art pieces. The ways of vision are considered in the paper as modes of highlighting various mental components of seeing processes and their using in cognition and communication. The concept, “ways of vision” helps to describe some related psycho-semiotic concepts. In particular, the distinction of sensorial, perceptual and apperceptual ways of vision gives a possibility to consider forms of participation of visual images in the expression and content planes of diverse visual-spatial codes. Among their semiotic means, the sensograms, perceptograms, pictograms, and conceptograms can be described as different ways to form visual images, to interpret them, and to use in communication. The pictorial means of objects representation and inter-subject communication can be distinguished according to their focus on certain ways of vision and visual codes that regulate their formation and interpretation.
