Self Encounter-Developing Biographical Agency and Painting Skills for Beginners and Professionals

This online course facilitated by Charles Jansen and Angela Katschke with lots of time for artistic exercising, grows your skills to dare paint a self-portrait. That process will bring an inner dialogue with your soul and physical self.

Observing yourself in a mirror is confronting and a great opportunity to face the outcomes of your biography. Experience self-development through art to develop biographical agency. Painting your self-portrait takes more time than the time we want to spend online. Make sure you block more me-time for your painting in the course of this module and the months to come. Of course, you can count on our support during this time in case you face unpredicted challenges. On 25 July we offer to gather once more to celebrate all completed self-portraits.
