Why is Jesus inspiring to some people?

I can identify similarities and differences in the way in which Jesus is portrayed

If you were writing a book about someone, what important details would you include?

Make a class list

There are 4 famous books about Jesus’ life called ‘Gospels’ and they’re named after their writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.�They are found within the bible.

Although the Gospels say a lot about what Jesus said and did, there is no written description of what he looked like, and paintings were not done until maybe 150 years after his death.

​

All images of Jesus are influenced by the artist’s experiences, beliefs and background

What is similar about them? What is different? What are the artists trying to say about Jesus?

• Incarnation

​

• Jesus was the incarnation of God coming to Earth through someone else.
• This allows more room for what Jesus looks like, God could be an incarnation anywhere.

• Drawing your own interpretation of Jesus

​

• Think about what you want your image of Jesus to represent.
• What will the setting/background be?
• What attributes will he/she have?
