Basically, the bible. It gives us direction and guides us through our life.
It depends on what they are presenting.
Not really, because I dont think that a school project like this would challenge me to examine my values.
How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?
With social justice issues, I believe that the media give some facts, but not the full story. I think the stories are often one sided and they may sound very true but not all the facts are there.
Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
No, actually it hasn’t been very hard to find articles on social justice issues because it is such a big thing in today’s society.
Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
I believe that the media aren’t always completely honest, but they do try to get a message across that may help many people, so i think they work around a moral framework.

1) What form of medium (music, art or literature ) allows you to best connect with Jesus and Why
Music best allows me to connect with Jesus because the music soothes my soul allowing me and Jesus to connect.
2) Why has Jesus been portrayed in so many different ways throughout history?
Because nobody really knows what Jesus looks like, seeing as there were no cameras back in His time, so people had through the ages had to use their imagination to paint and draw pictures of Jesus.
3) How is Jesus portrayed at Parramatta Marist?
Jesus is portrayed as a man who loves everybody and who gives strength to all.
4) What artistic time period do you think best represents your image of Jesus and why?
I think the renaissance period best represents my image of Jesus because when i think of Jesus I always remember the Last Supper.
5) Identify one image of Jesus that appeals to you. What do you like about the representation?
One image of Jesus the appeals to me is the one with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This image appeals to me because I believe it shows that Jesus’ Heart will never stop producing love for us even though Jesus was crowned with thorns and had his side pierced by a lance.
6) What factors currently shape your image of Jesus and why.
I think arworks shape my image of Jesus today because it is interesting to see the various arworks of Jesus and what they depict about him.
