The skilled vision approach is inspired by the edited volume Skilled Visions: Between Apprenticeship and Standards , edited by Cristina Grasseni and published in 2007, which gathered research in anthropology, history of science, and the visual arts on visual apprenticeship. A skilled vision approach considers vision as a realm of social expertise that depends on trained perception within a structured environment. Looking is a culturally inculcated and socially performed technique of the body, in the Maussian sense. Learning how to look at the world is a complex form of apprenticeship. Learning how to decipher objects, events, and environments is a social and relational as well as a cognitive form of apprenticeship. Different communities of practice engage differently with seeing and knowing. Any schooling of the eye thus results in a sensibility that is developed and confirmed through repeated acts of looking, and is at once aesthetic, moral, functional, and normative
