1. What form of medium(music, art or literature) allows you to best connect with Jesus and why?

The medium which allows me to become closer to Jesus is through music. As I am part of the church band I get to play songs of worship and praise and I enjoy the praise through music that I play. Also it is a lot easier to express it through music as you open up your inner feelings through it.

2. Why has Jesus been portrayed in so many different ways throughout history.

Jesus has been portrayed in many ways because:

People wanted to imagine a scene with Jesus and wanted to know what he looked like

To replicate events that happened in his life

Construct images of what the Bible said to make it easier for others.

3. How is Jesus protrayed at Parramatta Marist.

At Marist, Jesus is shown on a crucifix in every classroom. He is also shown in some paintings in few rooms in the school.

4. What artistic time period do you think represents your image of Jesus and why?

The period which I believe represents Jesus the best is the Renaissance. This period shows a great deal of realism in the artworks. It also shows and gives us accurate images of what Jesus may have looked like.

5. Identify one image that appeals to you. What do you like about the representation.

An image which greatly appeals to me is Pieta by Michellangelo. I like how the artist has shown the sorrow and saddness on Mary’s face which shows a great deal of emotion on the scene. It also makes it very dramatic and the emotions powerful.

6. What factors currently shape your image of Jesus and why?

The factors which shape my image of Jesus are:

Certain clips of movies which show Jesus teaching or his crucifixion.

Images and paintings such as the ones in school
