Lektionsnotizen
Annotation and evaluation do different jobs
- Annotations can record observations, processes, reasons or decisions. An evaluation makes a reasoned judgement against an intention or explicit relevant criterion; description supplies evidence but does not alone justify the judgement.
- What, how and why are helpful prompts rather than a fixed formula. Use enough detail to make the relationship clear, without inventing a process or claiming a guaranteed grade from a sentence type.
Separate the parts of a useful comment
Observe a feature and connect it to the aim
- The original pear studies compare visible hatching, intersecting hatching and smoother tone. A preference becomes useful when supported by a specific feature and an intention, such as emphasising line direction or continuous tonal transition.
- These are teaching illustrations, not real student submissions or a named historical artist’s work. No technique is universally strongest, and the image alone does not reveal a maker’s private intention or physical method in every detail.
Evaluate marks against an intention

Intention, effect and judgement
- An intention is what you aim to explore or communicate; an observed feature is evidence of what is actually present. A proposed effect or reading should be tied to that evidence and may differ between viewers.
- Evaluate how the relationship serves the intention, including trade-offs. More detail, stronger contrast, thick paint or neat edges are not automatic improvements independent of the enquiry.
Language that supports reasoning
- Use accurate terms such as tone, texture and composition to identify a particular feature. Verbs and connectives can make the relationship clear, but a technical word or because alone does not prove the claim.
- Qualify interpretations where needed: a colour may suggest an atmosphere in this setting without having one universal meaning. Personal preference can begin reflection, followed by a reason that the work supports.
Language needs evidence
Source connections and truthful attribution
- Identify the named work and selected feature that informed an actual trial. Explain what you retained, changed or rejected and why it matters to your own intention.
- Do not invent an artist influence or present copied work as wholly self-created. A source may provide a useful comparison after a trial, but label that relationship accurately instead of rewriting the history of making.
Name the actual source relationship
Plan a useful next test
- In the supplied invented shell scenario, denser cross-hatching on shadowed curves and lighter paper can support a reading of rounded form. Additional mid-tone marks are one possible test of the transition, not a guaranteed improvement.
- A next action can repeat, simplify, retain, compare or return to an earlier option. Explain what the test would reveal and how the criterion would guide the decision; do not claim observations from a trial not performed.
A next test has an open result
Constructive honesty
- Identify strengths and limitations with evidence against the intention. An unresolved result can reveal a useful question, while deliberate roughness or empty space may already serve the aim.
- Avoid harsh unsupported self-judgement and a manufactured story of automatic improvement. A clear record can acknowledge changed aims, uncertainty and alternatives without promising marks.
Concise review and next decision
- A useful review connects an intention, a relevant observation, a reasoned judgement and a next question. Include comparisons or source links when they inform the actual decision.
- Keep descriptions specific enough to support the judgement. Longer text, biographies and vocabulary lists do not substitute for evidence, a criterion and a realistic consequence.
A concise review follows evidence
