Why do we annotate pages, what do you annotate and what do you write?
Basically, anyhing that the assessor needs to know and understand about your work. Most of this is hidden in your brain, you need to get it out.
The majority of annotation should happen at the time of making, not as an afterthought. You'll be supposed how much it can clarify your thinking and add a little extra unexpected spark to your work.
Therefore, an annotation can take place prior to work beginning (imagining, prioritising, explaining and inventing what you are attempting to do), during (evaluation of current ideas, analysis of work, comparisons) and after (evaluations, concluding, giving opinions).
N.B If it's just a description of events, and has no personal element, it won't be good.
Be creative with your annotations, lift ups, overlays, writing over photos, labels, speech bubbles.
For the Corita Kent work, you can annotate everything that would otherwise be lonely on a page.
This includes:
* The ingredients - scanning and warping type - found photographs and etchings - inked type and type in a shape - splodges - cut out type
* A few work in progress shots from Photoshop
* Finals
I have an annotation sheet that might be helpful. It's HERE.
