Layers of Self

LAYERS OF SELF
with Jason Hogge
THURSDAYS, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
February 23 – March 23, 2023 (Five Sessions)

For this in-depth project, we will construct a layered self-portrait in acrylic paint. This portrait is based on the representation of your feelings, rather than one’s physical form. The first layer will represent the purity of our inner self. The second layer will be our expression of how we were positively and/or negatively shaped in our childhood by outer influences like family, religion, culture, etc. Our constructive and/or destructive inner influences will be the substance of the third layer. The remainder of the class will focus on acceptance of past layers, and creating new layers that represent action toward healing, who we desire to be, and how we want our self-portrait to be presented to others. Trigger Warning: This project has the potential to stir deep emotions; please self-monitor and feel free to take a break anytime it is needed.
