All Things Apple! with Beryn Hammil

If you are new to All Things Apple! and would like to get on the contact list for classes, please email Librarian, Bonnie Groshong at: [email protected] Instructor Beryn Hammil will email you a welcome packet that includes detailed instructions on how to participate in the live Zoom meeting, stream from YouTube, or receive recap videos. You must register in advance on Zoom each week for each class you want to attend. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing links for joining the meeting 15 minutes before class. Each topic will cover information for the Mac computer, iPhone, iPad and the Apple Watch (as appropriate). These class topics were put together based on input from students, and while some of these topics have been taught recently, there’s always something new to learn in each. The content of each topic description will be adhered to, but discussion is not limited to just what’s presented in this schedule as one thing often leads to another. Doors for class will open 15 minutes prior to that class starting and we will start on time. When the class capacity of 100 participants is reached in the live Zoom room, those who get “locked out” will be able to view the class by live streaming it on YouTube. This is called the “Balcony Section.” Those who are registered to participate by half past the hour prior to class starting will receive an email with the link to the live stream. It will be sent out within 15 minutes of the class starting. If you’re viewing the class from the balcony, you will not be able to raise your hand to ask questions but can learn something new, nonetheless. At the end of each class participants can stay for a Q&A session about that or any other topic. Because many people leave at the formal end of class, those who are watching the class from the balcony section will be able to join the live after-class Q&A to have their questions answered. Simply go back to the original link you received to the join the Zoom class and use that to get in. A recap video of each class will be available so you can review material on YouTube, and you can build your own library of them, but you must participate in that class to receive access to it. Instructions for how to do this are given in the orientation email you received with your welcome packet as well as in the email for the live stream YouTube link sent out before each class starts. Pre-registration is a requisite for each class. Once you receive the welcome packet from Beryn, invitations to register are sent out each THURSDAY morning for the following week’s class, and you must register for each class. TUESDAY, APRIL 23 BACK TO BASICS; STORAGE & THE FILES APP 2:00 – 3:30 pm US/Pacific Building on what you learned last week about how to organize your computer, we’ll review what “storage” is and how to find out how much you have left in your computer and your mobile devices. About storage, we’ll review: How to determine how much storage is in your computer and iPhone/iPad, How to clear up storage space on your computer by deleting unused items, How to save items that you want to keep, but not on your computer, on an external storage device We’ll also pick up where we left off last week with the Files app and how to access information that’s on your computer from your iPhone and iPad when you’re anywhere in the world or even just on the other side of the house. As time allows, after the main part of the class and Q&A, there will be an overview session about your Apple Watch. And even if you don’t have one (yet), you’re welcome to stay for this part of the class.

This new art form can be enjoyed by anyone, from beginners to professionals, providing artistic satisfaction and personal well being. In this class you will delve in to the Zentangle method while creating a beautiful composition. Learn to draw patterns and use shading and color techniques to bring this Zentangle inspired composition to life. There will be a short guided meditation and lots of step by step instructions. This class is two to three hours so please plan accordingly. Join the call a few of minutes early so we can all begin on time. As space is limited, be respectful of the library and your fellow students by attending the class you have signed up for. If you sign up, please show up.

On the day of the event or when the maximum number of registrants is met, the registration link will no longer work, so please register early.

For beginners, you can pick up a one-time, free starter kit at the upstairs adult reference desk at the San Rafael Library (1100 E Street). The kit contains 4 – 4.5 x 4.5 Zentangle tiles, one Micron 05 pen, and colored pencils. If you think you’ll be attending more classes, stock up on these supplies online or from your local art store: 4.5 x 4.5″ Zentangle Tiles (Genesis or Apprentice or any 4.5 x 4.5″ smooth cardstock) Sakura Micron Pn pen, .5mm, black White gel pen, .5mm Prisma colored pencils Graphite pencil and blending stump or q-tip Testimonials: Romi Marks is a fantastic teacher and guide through the meditative art process of Zentangle. When class was held at the San Rafael Library, I enjoyed and learned from each class that I attended. Now on Zoom, the experience is also wonderful. Less crowding and more meditative. Thank you for offering this most valuable class. Romi’s style offers calm and freedom especially in a time of uncertainty. ~Susan Romi is a dynamic Zentangle instructor! This class was the calm in the eye of my chaotic week. Thank you for offering her classes through the library. ~Caritas Words can never express the joy I get from the Tangled Yogi Zentangle classes your library offers. I draw them on cards and send them out to people who, “need a lift.” Feedback has been very positive. So very many people are having a difficult time right now; every small act of kindness brightens someone’s life for a while. Romi Marks, the Tangled Yogi, is a breath of fresh air! She is very kind, patient, and talented. Thank you again for offering these wonderful classes. ~Betsey Once again, a HUGE thank you for your continued support of Roma Marks’ Zentangle class. She’s a fantastic teacher and her class is the highlight of my month, every month! ~Lori
