If you have always wanted to learn the Italian language and to share this passion with people who live in this area, this is a great time to do it in the comfort and safety of your home and in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Italian for Beginners classes have successfully been offered in person at Fredricksen for more than 2 years by instructor Anna Maria Bertini Jones. The current situation has opened up the opportunity to explore online instruction options to make the learning experience even more effective and enjoyable. You will still be learning the basics of the Italian language through interactive online classes and group work, but it will also be possible to use a variety of online multimedia resources to develop basic conversation skills and get in touch with cultural topics like cuisine, art, movies, lifestyle, etc.

Classes are very easy to access. You will receive a Zoom link invitation; click on the link and you will be automatically directed to your classroom. During class time students will be learning and collaborating with the instructor’s help and direction. No specific technological skills are required. All you need is a computer/ laptop/tablet and a printer. Ages 16 and older. Cost: $120 for 10 classes. Students will be advised to also purchase a book online. Register online, by phone, or in person at the library.

Join local photographer and instructor, Michael Yatsko, for this 4-week class that explores a different photographic topic/concept each week. Classes will begin with an explanation of the topic along with looking at some examples. After that we will spend the remainder of class practicing these techniques.

Week 2: Panning/ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) - learn how to create dynamic action shots and creative abstract photos by intentionally moving the camera while shooting.
Week 3: Aerial Photography - learn the ins and outs of drone photography, from how drones work, safety, rules, how to become a licensed pilot, shooting and composition techniques and picking out your first drone.
Week 4: Light Painting - learn how to create unique photographs that are both challenging and fun to make by using long exposures and flashlights.

Class Requirements: Prior completion of Intro to Digital Photography Class OR a solid understanding of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) and your camera’s focus modes. These concepts will be briefly reviewed on the first night, but otherwise you should be comfortable changing the settings on your camera. Cost: $100 Seating is limited, register starting May 15.
