Editor’s note: The following two courses and registration information were inadvertantly omitted from an article that ran in Thursday’s paper.
LEWISTON – The Senior College program at the University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn College will offer eleven courses for the spring semester, March 21 through May 13.
Open to all persons age 50 and older and their spouses, the courses will be presented by peers, with no entrance requirements, grades or tests. An annual Senior College membership fee of $25, valid from September through May, is required and provides access to the computer lab and library, newsletters, and to Senior College courses at other USM campuses.
The course fees, which include the cost of most books and materials, are $25 each for the first two courses and $10 for each additional course. All classes are held at L-A College at 51 Westminster St. except as noted.
“Writing Our Stories”: Discover how much fun a writing group can be. This class can provide that needed boost to begin or to re-start the recording of your memories. Classes are scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. for eight Fridays, March 25 to May 13. Instructor Anita Greenblatt is a graduate of Andover College and a lifelong learner. She has been an instructor in the Auburn Adult Education program for several years and is a member of the Senior College Board.
“Observational Drawing”: The elements and principles of art will be introduced through learning traditional drawing skills — observing contours, 3-D form, proportion, foreshortening, shading and perspective. Classes are scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. for six Fridays, March 25 to April 29. Instructor Linda DeSantis Pomerantz has degrees in liberal arts and art education with a M.A. in teaching. She has taught at the secondary level for 34 years.
