Journal 5

1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? How or Why not?
I believe that my image of Jesus hasn’t changed because I still depicted Jesus in similar ways. But also that I usually picture Jesus as many things, I don’t really have one image of him.
2. What do you feel is the best way to portray an image of Jesus and why?
The best way to depict Jesus is by really thinking of how you actually see in him as a person/spirit. It is important to look deep down inside yourself and find that right image the personally shows Jesus the way you what him to be shown.3. What have you enjoyed about the project so far and what would you do differently?

I have enjoyed learn the different ways Jesus has been depicted and panted through out history. It was really interesting how depending one what events are happening through out that time, affect on how people feel and how they will paint their artworks. I don’t think I would do anything differently at this point in time.

Journal Entry 4 – Introduction to Images of Jesus

1) What form of medium (music, art or literature ) allows you to best connect with Jesus and Why;
I believe that the medium that best allows me to connect with God is through the form of art. I think art would be the best form of medium because I like to visualize things (in this case Jesus), but not only that I like to see how other people have interpreted Jesus in different ways.
2) Why has Jesus been portrayed in so many different ways throughout history?
Jesus has been portrayed in many ways throughout history because certain thing happen during that period in time which will affect how Jesus will be depicted. This isn’t just with Jesus, it also affects general artworks. Also through time there has been various changes in styles and types of paintings which also would of affected how Jesus would of been portrayed.
3) How is Jesus portrayed at Parramatta Marist?
Jesus is portrayed here at Parramatta Marist through the hard work of teachers, making an effort to guide us through the early stages of our lives and prepare us for the future. In religion classes we learn more of Jesus traditionally by text and books but we have now moved on and looked into learning through the internet and videos (PBL), which I think has helped the way we all look and depict Jesus.

4) What artistic time period do you think best represents your image of Jesus and why?
I believe that the time period of the Renaissance would be the best to represent my Image of Jesus because to me I think that The way art was painted then would and does still stand out till now. I also think that the different technique that were used during this time really shaped and helped how artists would and can depict Jesus.

 
5) Identify one image of Jesus that appeals to you. What do you like about the representation?
One image of Jesus that best appeals to me is the image above^. I like the simplicity of the image and the way it is actually painted. It gives the sense that Jesus is open to everyone and anyone. Also to never judge Jesus for who he is.
6) What factors currently shape your image of Jesus and why.
Factors that shape the image (above) of Jesus;
  • How I feel Jesus can be shown
  • Knowledge
  • Feelings
  • Certain events through out my life

Journal 1

1. List TWO problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups.
  • If students were to select their own groups, they might just choose their friends. In doing this they might not work to the best of their ability and waste a lot of time. (talking, mucking around)
  • Continuing on students selecting their friends, if they do this they are most likly to have similar ideas concidering that they are friends. This would cut down new ideas that could help the group with the project, than a randomly picked group, where different people can contribute and have a broader range of ideas.
2. Which type of student do you think would be selected first?
The type of student that would be picked first, would be the student that has a very good reputation for good work ethic and can also comunicate with other group members well.
3. Why do you think they were selected first?
These types of students would be selected first because people in the group will know they will do their part in work and ideas. Also knowing that their work will be of high standard.
4. Which type of student do you was selected last?
The type of student that would be selected last, would be the ones that don’t concentrate and do the given work at hand. They also would be the ones that aren’t willing to do their share and best work.
