Why Free?
I still take an occasional class at our local university as finances and time allow. I pay for those and am glad to do it, which is why I wonder why it would need to be a free class. Though, I admit, I mostly take classes through the University’s Community College these days because it’s much less expensive.
There’s also the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, which you pay a membership – $35 for a year and $15 a class (up to 10 courses a year, which I couldn’t manage so there’s no use looking at the more expensive tier. So, I can get courses nearly for free. Pre-covid, I was going to teach a creative writing class, but I haven’t gotten around to setting that up again.
Art Class
I think if I was going to take a course through the University these days, I’d be torn between taking an art class or a course in video storytelling. The world we live in today seems to lend itself to video storytelling, but I’m almost entirely certain I want to be behind the camera, not in front of it. Then again, a digital art class would be useful for cover design. Or I could just take a drawing or painting class for fun. Since it’s about $900 a course at UAF, free sounds interesting, but I have low-cost options available already.
