Shane Cassel, //Forgiving Our Sins, (2008), Photoshop//

This artwork was created by Shane using Photoshop and using a default image used from Google images; this image is to be placed in our exhibition. The image was created by getting a picture from Google and creating effects to make it look like my image of Jesus. The picture is called ‘//Forgiving Our Sins’// because the two hands clenched together gives a powerful feeling of forgiveness and also togetherness The hands also look as though they are very firm in their grasp to aid the forgiveness feel. The work was created in 2008 and therefore it is a contemporary image of Jesus. The audience for the artwork is people who have been hurt in by someone in some way and have come to some kind of agreement, this is how they feel when two or more people forgive each other for what they have done. The reason why this image was created is because I feel that Jesus was remembered for teaching us how to live our lives, how to be better people, and I feel that one of Jesus’ major teachings was forgiveness, and this is how I see Jesus. The two hands clenched together is a fantastic representation of this. One of the feelings that is generated from the image is togetherness because seeing the two hands joined portrays this feeling. This is an appropriate image of Jesus because forgiveness is something Jesus was remembered for.



Shane Cassel, //The Guidance Of Jesus,// (2008), Photoshop This artwork was created in Photoshop by Shane using several images from Google and editing them to make my image of Jesus. This image is to be placed in our group exhibition. The picture is called '//The Guidance Of Jesus'// because the hand pointing towards heaven is Jesus as he guides us to live better lives.The image is made to look as though heaven is a more peaceful place than hell, and that Jesus will help you on your way into the Kingdom of Heaven. The work was created in 2008 and therefore is a contemporary image of Jesus. The audience for the artwork is people who wish to live happy lives and be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven. This how I see Jesus when I think of him. The reason why I created this image is because I feel that even though Jesus lived thousands of years ago he still exists in our hearts, and helps us throughout our lives. I feel that the hand pointing in a particular direction is a brilliant interpretation of Jesus for me. One of the feelings that is generated from this image is dedication because this should inspire people that is they live good lives then they will be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven. This is an appropriate image of Jesus because guidance is one thing that Jesus is looked up to for



Peterson Toscano, //Jesus Buddha,//(date unknown), medium unknown

This is an image that relates to the chinese culture, with Jesus' head placed on top of a Buddha body. It was made using an unknown medium and was made on an unknown date. This image is going to be used in our exhibition as our cultural image of Jesus. The image is called //Jesus Buddha// for the simple reason that Jesus' head is on a Buddha body. The artist is an artist who has created works from 1995-2008 and therefore this image is a contemporary image of Jesus. The yellow glow in the background gives a holy feel to it and it helps the aura that any image of Jesus creates. The halo behind Jesus' head is for the appeal of the image.

The audience for this image of Jesus is Catholics and also Chinese people because the culturalism in this image relates to them. There is no age audience for this image because Catholics and Chinese people can also look at this image and know it is an image of Jesus. The reason why this image was created i think is to show the link between Catholics and the Chinese faith. This image also represents that even though Catholic and Buddhism are two different religions they still teach the same values and how to live better lives. One of the feelings that is generated from this image is humbleness because the way Jesus is sitting gives this feeling. This is an appropriate image of Jesus because it represents Catholics and Chinese people.



Artist unknown, //Gothic Cross Of Jesus,// (date unknown), made from wood

This image was created using carved wood by an unknown artist and glueing them to each other. The image was created by carving the wood to a specific design and the face of Christ is in the middle. The image is called //Gothic Cross Of Jesus// because it is a cross made in the Gothic art time period. It also has been kept in amazing condition and can be clearly seen on the website. The image may have been recently created but it still fits to the Gothic art time period works because of its natural feel and the fact that it is made of wood and it is a carving of some description.

The audience is for anyone interested in the changes of art throughout time and about the Gothic art movement. The reason why this image was created is to see how the Gothic religious art is different from contemporary religious art. One of the feeling that is generated from this image is a feeling of awe because by looking at this image to see hopw difficult it was to create then you can admire the artists skills at art. This is an appropriate image of Jesus because it relates to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
