Links - In Words about Jesus (part one)
1. Jesus' question (pages 2-3)
http://www.coventrycathedral.org/
The image on this double page spread is a close-up of Christ's
face, taken from Graham Sutherland's famous tapestry Christ in
Glory. Find out more at this web site about Coventry Cathedral,
the home of the tapestry.
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/sutherland_graham.html
The online art encyclopedia gives links to some of the best examples
of Graham Sutherland's work. Web sites featured here include the
Tate Gallery and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
Further details of Sutherland's life are given at http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/sutherland_graham.html
http://www.biblebelievers.com/harmon14.html
Pastor John Harmon from a Baptist Church in American lists over
500 biblical 'names' given to Jesus. This is an interesting page,
if only to illustrate that Jesus' own question 'Who do people say
that I am?' has many answers!
http://www.easyfunschool.com/article1679.html
shows another approach to learning the names of Jesus.
2. Jesus' baptism (pages 4-5)
http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/piero/
This is a good example of what the site itself calls a 'web museum'.
It provides a summary of the life and works of Piero della Francesca
and thumbnail images of his most famous paintings (including The
Baptism of Christ, John the Baptist and Angels featured on this
double page spread).
Other sites of this artist's work that are worth a visit are http://www.christusrex.org/www2/art/Piero_della_Francesca.htm
and

http://www.whom.co.uk/idk/idkhuman.html
Another enjoyable site on the face theme. Here, you can create
a human identikit, adding different shaped noses, eyes, ears, etc
to create a unique face.
3. Jesus the carpenter (pages 6-7)
http://www.biography.com/
The activity for this lesson plan asks pupils to select famous
people from over 25,000 well-known names. There is an easy-to-use
search feature. The web site also has a 'top ten biographies' and
'born on this day' section.
http://www.aboutfamouspeople.com/
Another site with information on famous people, though a little
harder for pupils to find their way around. Other sites on a similar
theme are http://www.famouspeople.com/famouspeople.html
and http://www.famousbirthdays.com/
This last one is particularly interesting, as pupils can look up
famous people born on their own birthday.
