Lightroom is the modern darkroom for digital photographers. This course is designed to familiarize students with Adobe Lightroom Classic organizing and editing software for the laptop or desktop computer. (Not the cloud or mobile version) Students will learn tips from a seasoned photographer and how to organize thousands of images for rapid retrieval, and will also learn best practices for making adjustments to images, masking, and exporting for use in other projects. Experience is not required. This is a good overview course to take if you already have Lightroom installed and would like more hands-on experience.

The three lectures on Michelangelo will be divided as suggested by the title: the good--the works we all think we know and love (the Roman Pieta, the David, the Sistine Ceiling; the bad--the works Michelangelo never finished or that were criticized even during his lifetime (the Piccolomini Altar, the Julius II tomb, the Last Judgment, the Florentine Pieta); and the works that appear, at least to our eyes, painful to view (the Pauline Chapel, the Rondanini Pieta, the Risen Christ). A suggested reading list will be provided, but no advance preparation is required.

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), one of Mexico's most celebrated modern artists, has achieved cult status for her compelling, original paintings, of which 55 out of 143 are self-portraits. Essentially self-taught, Kahlo rightly asserted that "painting completed my life," and it is her pain-ridden tumultuous life that she inscribed on her canvases in inventive self-portraits and allegorical imagery. This lecture will provide an overview of her artistic accomplishments while, also out of necessity, exploring her fascinating, short life. This course is offered in anticipation of the OLLI trip to Mexico where Kahlo's Blue House will be on the tour.

The Venice Biennale has been held every 2 years (as possible) since 1895. Every nation in the world is invited to present their best artists. The 60th Biennale is scheduled from April to November 2024. The 59th Biennale had 80 national exhibits, including 29 permanent country pavilions. The non-permanent country pavilions are scattered in rented space around Venice, in attic garrets, churches, and fancy palaces. The presenter plans to visit as many of the exhibits as possible. For a preview, Google “Jeffrey Gibson,” the indigenous artist who will exhibit in the USA's permanent building.

Is there any evidence that God exists? Or that Jesus is His divine Son? Or is Christian belief just a matter of having faith? This course examines the historical and scientific evidence, and the philosophical arguments in support of God's existence and the divinity of Jesus. Topics include the Cosmological Argument; Fine-Tuning Argument; Moral Argument; Near-Death Experiences; reliability of Gospel accounts; and non-biblical evidence. This course is not doctrinal. It examines these questions from historical, scientific, and philosophical viewpoints and is intended for both religious and non-religious people who have an intellectual curiosity about the basis for Christian beliefs.
