Journal Entry 5 – Images of Jesus

1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? How or Why not?

No, because I feel that my image of Jesus is perfectly fine to me as has qualities of Jesus portrayed through representation of symbols and colours. I will not also change the image for a short amount of time because the due dates of other projects are arriving soon. I really think that my image hasn’t changed because I still depict Jesus in the one image. I have seen many images of Jesus but by collaborating a couple of images and making my depicted image stand out.

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.

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?

The medium which allows me to become closer to Jesus is through art. I like to observe artworks of worship and praise and I enjoy the praise through the artwork I feel by observing religious images. Also it is a lot easier to express it through art as you can show visual context as people believe in the saying “Seeing is Believing” and our 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.

At Marist, Jesus is shown on a crucifix in every classroom. He is also shown in some paintings in few rooms in the school. Jesus is also portrayed at our school by looking at the characteristics of students.
