1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? How or Why not? My image of Jesus hasnt changed completely but i have realised that somethings which i thought were true may not be 100% correct. I have also found out that there are a ot of alternate images.

2. What do you feel is the best way to portray an image of Jesus and why? From basically reading passages from the new testament of the bible and finding original scetches and maybe watching movies like the pashion of the christ.

3. What have you enjoyed about the project so far and what would you do differently? I have enjoyed using photoshop and learning new techniques from my mates in my group. I would have more time to complete individual tasks that is 1 aspect which i will change.

1) What form of medium (music, art or literature ) allows you to best connect with Jesus and Why? Reflective hyms allow me to connect with Jesus especially when singing the words because it reminds me of how great Jesus is.

2) Why has Jesus been portrayed in so many different ways throughout history? Because of many different and new discoveries around the world, also some media sources play around with the idea of Jesus but those media sources are just stupid.

3) How is Jesus portrayed at Parramatta Marist? Jesus is portrayed as our mighty Lord and we worship and respect him here at Parramatta Marist.

4) What artistic time period do you think best represents your image of Jesus and why? Definatly early church because images of Jesus shouldn’t be placed around with especially not in a manner which is meant to be funny.

5) Identify one image of Jesus that appeals to you. What do you like about the representation? A basic image of Jesus just smiling which is the most common imahge of Jesus. The fact that he is smiling represents that he loves and cares for every person.

6) What factors currently shape your image of Jesus and why. Definatly some verses from the bible which i have read shape my image of Jesus as being kind and very caring, abd certain sketches and movies which i have watched shape my physical image of Jesus

1. Describe in your own words the message of each Bible passage.
Matthew 4:22-24 – The message of this is that Jesus traveled far and wide preaching the word and healing the sick and wounded
John 1:29-32 – Jesus trusted John as a really close freind and had John baptise him

2. How is Jesus portrayed in the chosen passages.
Matthew 4:22-24- As a preacher with mysterious healing powers who cured the sick and weak
 John 1:29-32 As basically another person who is no better than anyone else becuase he got baptised like everyone else, and he also led by example.

3. Discuss your personal response to the messages portrayed by the passages.
Matthew 4:22-24- I believe that Jesus would spend most of his time preaching and healing the sick because there are many stories just like this which talks about Jesus preaching and healing the sick
John 1:29-32- I believe that Jesus wanted to show that he was no different than anybody else and he also had to be baptised he also showed everyone that in order to live in Gods name you must be baptised.

1. List the title of the image. Lady with an Ermine ( Renaissance), 1489-1490

2. Name the Artist where possible. Leonardo Da vinci who is known as the best Renaissance man, and made renaissance artwork famous.

3. Identify features of the artwork significant to the period. Its subject is identified as Cecilia Gallerani, the mistress of Lodovico Sforza. This is not for certain but most people believe that it is Cecilia Gallerani. Because Da Vinci met her around the same time when this artwork was crated. The ermine represent purity. It shows Cecilia caught in the motion of turning her head to the left. Some believe that she is listening to a speaker who is not shown in the portrait

4. Discuss your personal response to the message portrayed by the artwork. Seeing this artwork i believe that Cecilia Gallerani was a young beautiful women. Who was very pure and faithful. As represented in the artwork by the ermine. I also believe that many would come adn speak to her and she would always listen to them.

1) What words and or images come to mind when you hear the word Jesus.  I think about Jesus at Christmas being born and Jesus on the cross dieing for us.

2) Why might it be important for young people to identify with an image of Jesus? So they dont get caught up in how the media over-exaggerrates Jesus and huis life and they have a catholic understanding of Jesus.

3) Where in your life do you most associate with images of Jesus? During mass when the priest is reading out the gospel i always try to visualize the scene, which makes em particpate even more in church.

1. How many rubrics are there for this project? There are 2 rubrics 1 individual and 1 group rubric.

2. Describe the purpose of the rubric? The rubric is designed to allow students to view what ares they nheed to focus on in order to gain the highest possible marks.

3. How can you use the rubric to get the best possible mark? Just browse the rubric for A and focus all your attention on completing the tasks which are assigned there.

1. List TWO problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups. They may only choose their mates which could lead to very little work getting done. Also we could pick people with the same skills which will leave us stranded in certain areas.  

2. Which type of student do you think would be selected first? A very talented leader with the potential to lead a group to top marks. 

3. Why do you think they were selected first? Becase they can lead to group in all areas and organize really well. Which will help to earn top marks. 

4. Which type of student do you was selected last? The type of student who just bludges class and doesnt listen to the other group member
