Annotating Art

Directions:  Based on the assignment, use your own work or an art historical work and annotate it, depending on what the teacher explains in class. Keep it all on 1 page/screen.

Annotations will include the Principles and Elements of Art, Mood/Symbolism/Interpretation and Art Historical Links.

Focus on analysis rather than description.

Submit on Google Classroom.

This example is done with one of Ms. Russo Scherr's artwork but the annotations can be applied to an art historical work.

Also, look at the Comparative Study Example (Jenny Saville, Formal Analysis Page)
