QUIZ
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Questions set by the Sacred Heart Girls’ College Year 13 Photography class and Mrs Stuart.
Kete Kōrero continues to evolve as we try new things. Lots of photos in this issue, as we want to include plenty of “faces and places’’ from around the diocese. If a group in your parish runs an event or get-together, please send our team some photos and a write-up. We aim to load current events up on to our blog (www.ketekorero.cdh.nz) in good time, and events closer to publication date might find their way into the news section in the printed pages too. Photos need to be of good quality (your basic smartphone should be fine) and sent as separate email attachments as .jpeg or .png files (not inside a Word document).
1. The earliest extant examples of Christian art are graffiti found on underground tombs in Rome known as what? 2. Name the famous Italian smiling lady and her French home which is currently being renovated due to Covid-19 restrictions. 3. Traditional art featuring stylised turtles and hibiscus flowers would come from what part of the world? 4. What are the three primary colours, and what colour do you get if you mix them together? 5. What is the term for the patterns painted on marae rafters? 6. Which pigment was the most expensive pigment for many years and so became the characteristic hue used in depictions of Our Lady? 7. What is the rule of thirds? 8. Name the visual arts subjects you can take at Sacred Heart in Year 13. 9. Who is the famous New Zealand conceptual artist whose last name is also a fruit? 10. Who is the famous New Zealand painter whose work, such as the painting entitled “I Am”, often included Christian symbols, motifs and texts?
In this issue we launch an Arts and Culture section. Catholics love to tell stories, to attempt to capture in different artistic forms the deep truths of our religion. Stories of who and what we are as human beings and as sons and daughters of our loving God. We love film, poetry, music, sculpture, architecture, fiction, paintings. In this new section we aim to “hit the streets” as Pope Francis encourages in his message for the 2021 World Communications Day, quoting Blessed Manuel Lozano Garrido: “Open your eyes with wonder to what you see, let your hands touch the freshness and vitality of things, so that when others read what you write, they too can touch first-hand the vibrant miracle of life”. If you would like to write a review of something you’ve seen or heard recently - classic or contemporary - get in touch and we can discuss it. (If spelling or grammar isn’t your strong point, don’t worry, we are here to help.) As you can see, the section will include both shorter and longer articles and reviews of film, music and books. We also have a column for word nerds: exploring the background of some common Catholic words and a chance to delve into te reo Māori and learn some new kupu.
Answers for this quiz can be found on page 26.
