1. From a legal standpoint, there are no issues regarding the grading of your student's work. As long as the student followed the assignment instructions and showcased their understanding of the topic, the grading should be based on the merit and quality of the artwork. There is no religious bias or discrimination in evaluating the artwork based on its artistic qualities.

Regarding the display of the student's work in the classroom, it may depend on the policies and guidelines set by the school or educational institution. If the school allows for the display of student work, then there should be no legal issue in displaying the student's submission featuring Jesus and the Last Supper, as long as it does not violate any specific guidelines or restrictions set by the school.

2. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of speech and expression, including religious expression. As a public school teacher, you must be mindful of the establishment clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government, including public schools, from promoting or endorsing any specific religion.

However, displaying a student's pictorial depiction of Jesus and the Last Supper in the classroom, as long as it is done in an educational context and not as a way of endorsing or promoting any particular religious belief, would likely be considered protected by the First Amendment. The display should not be seen as endorsement or an attempt to impose religious views but rather as an expression of the student's personal beliefs. You should ensure that other students' works, regardless of their religious or non-religious nature, are given equal consideration for display to avoid any perception of promoting a single religion.
