CoP practical development - thinking about audience

I'm really satisfied with the sudden development in my practical work for this module, and feel like I'm really onto something with this idea. Last year my Cop work was massively let down by the practical element, as I found it really difficult to get my head around the idea of synthesising written and practical  bodies of work. I knew we weren't just supposed to produce some illustrations for our essays, but still couldn't see how the work could be anything more than that. It's only now that I feel I've finally made that breakthrough, and that I get it now.

I had a talk with Pete about how my book development is going. While he was enthusiastic and positive about the content, he advised me to make sure that I was considering my audience. Who was this book for? And for what purpose?

He also gave me an interesting pointer, to look at the recent Ladybirds for Grownups series of publications, such as The Ladybird Book of Mindfulness.




Obviously these are purposefully ironic, but I  think trying to distill quite a complex or high idea into something very readily accessible would be a good tack for my CoP publication. A very easy-to-understand guide to different types of art?
