Bilingual Classes for Children – Monika Ruiz is an Atlanta Gem

Introducing HTB Website Design client: Atlanta based Artist and bilingual teacher Monika Ruiz.

Monika Ruiz

In case you haven’t heard of her, we are pleased to introduce Monika Ruiz, who provides a remarkable service to parents of young children in the Atlanta area. She is a successful fine-artist with a concentration in painting, has exhibited and sold her artwork around the world, and to top it all off, she is a mom herself. For over twenty years Monika has been teaching children, teenagers and adults how to develop their creative art skills through her Mundo Arte Art Time and Spanish is Fun! classes. 

Spanish Time

Spanish/English language teacher Ms. Monika is teaching her usual Fall semester classes designed for very young children – ages 3 to 8. She sometimes has children who are even younger than 3 years old.

Spanish Time Classes with Monika Ruiz are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00PM to 1:45PM at IPS Atlanta
Spanish Time Classes are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00PM to 1:45PM at IPS Atlanta

Spanish Time will focus on developing the child’s communication skills from the most basic concepts such as how conversation works, with questions and answers. For example, learning to ask questions like: “what’s your name?” and answering not just the name but: “my name is…” and including “what about you?” Learning to gather information about where someone comes from and study/play with the map to identify the countries of South America and where Spanish is commonly spoken. Spanish Time with Ms. Monika classes are held Mondays or Wednesdays from 1:00 to 1:45 PM.

It’s not too late to register your child for Ms. Monika’s Spanish Time class, visit www.monikaruiz.com

Art Time

Monika Ruiz provides a caring creative environment for children to express themselves. She is an artist herself, and enjoys offering a painting and construction focused curriculum.

Art Time is a class where freedom, creativity, experimentation and encouragement meet. Children learn and develop the use of different artistic media techniques while exploring their own ideas according to their personalities, ages, interests and vision, without having to conform to any ideas imposed by adults. Mundo Arte Art Time Classes with Monika Ruiz are held Tuesdays or Fridays from 1:00-2:00 PM.

Celebrating the photographic works of Walter Huber on National Camera Day

June 29th is National Camera Day. When you look around, do you see something that inspires you? Take a snapshot with your cell phone and share it with the world!

Technology has brought the world to life through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc., all wonderful vehicles for sharing our experiences in realtime. The opportunities for self expression offered by the camera are limitless.

Today we’d like to celebrate the works of the late Walter Huber : photographer, who had an uncanny ability to explore the contrast of light and dark in a beautiful way, mixing reality with mystery.

‘Tulip 1’ by walter huber

Walter preferred black and white photography so that he could print his own images and exercise more control over the contrasts. He used several cameras over the years to explore his craft: a Hasselblad, a Leica Flex, a 1930 collectible Leica and a 4×5 format view camera.

Walter created images that revealed his depth of insight and his great appreciation of life’s mysteries, and towards the end of his life, in the late 1990’s, he also dabbled in digital photo art just as technology was beginning to transform the industry.

We invite you to visit walterhuberphotos.com to enjoy his photos, or snap some of your own, whether with a camera or cell phone, on National Camera Day.

Looking for a unique gift for your child? Consider Marilyn Marlow’s ‘Love and Light’

Looking for a unique gift for your child? Consider Marilyn Marlow’s ‘Love and Light’ (English with Spanish) or ‘Amor y Luz’ (Spanish with English), a colorful and inspirational myth that ignites the imagination and warms the heart, available through Amazon.

 

“Marilyn always knew she would be a teacher. What she didn’t anticipate was the day the recruiter came into her college art class. Four days after graduation she left for Guatemala, Central America as a Peace Corps Volunteer where she learned Spanish and worked with Mayan artists for the next two years. ‘Amor y Luz: Un Mito de la Creación’ (Spanish Edition) / ‘Love and Light ~  A Creation Myth’ (English Edition), handwritten nearly forty years ago, was inspired by experiences living close to the land in the highlands of Guatemala. Perhaps too, it was a way to discover a personal connection with our privileged heritage of living on this planet.”
