Spanish Champs Day Camps
The most dynamic camps in town - in any language!
The camps are great way for your child to have an immersion style Spanish experience. The camps are part of the two year Spanish Champs learning sequence. Campers use music, stories, crafts, games, contests, skits and plays to learn Spanish. Space is limited to 12 children per camp.
The first two camps are excellent preparation for children entering Bilingual or Dual Language programs, or for children that have had Spanish, but still need more practice with basic communication skills.
The third camp is for children who have had one to two years or more of non-intensive Spanish, or for children who have had a year or more in a Bilingual/Dual Language program and are ready for/learning basic reading and writing skills.
Camp one introduces and reinforces basic Spanish: greetings, numbers, colors, food, and clothes. Children will be exposed to several key verbs. Children perform several songs and contests for parents at the end of the week.
Camp two expands beyond the basic Spanish of camp one, and the children will be preparing for and acting in a play at the end of the week. A great follow-up for camp one.
Camp three is taught primarily in Spanish and is focused on increasing oral proficiency and beginning literacy. Children will write and illustrate a storybook in Spanish.
All Summer Camps: 1pm - 4pm daily
The cost of each camp is $150 ($135 for early registration). Registration opens in April.
Location: Approximately Tramway and Academy
July 7-11: Beginners with little or no comprehension. Age 5-10
July 14-18: Beginners with some comprehension - (cont. of camp 1). Age 5-10
July 21-25: Intermediate with good comprehension of basics. Age 6-11
Teachers/Schools - want to offer Spanish Champs camps in your area?

In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein
The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History
June 8, 2008 – September 7, 2008
The art of Ernest Blumenschein (1874-1960) is celebrated in the comprehensive exhibition In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein. Opening Sunday, June 8, with a reception and programs from noon to 4:00 pm at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, In Contemporary Rhythm will present 61 major paintings, as well as five illustrations and sketches of Ernest Blumenschein, one of the founders of the Taos Society of Artists and one of the most accomplished of the group. The exhibition opening events include a lecture at 1:00 pm by Elizabeth Cunningham that introduces the exhibition through exploring key works and periods in Blumenschein’s life and career, a book signing for the exhibition catalogue, special tours of related collections of the museum, and family art activities.
The story of Ernest Blumenschein begins in 1898 when a fateful painting trip to New Mexico found a young Blumenschein and fellow artist, Bert Phillips, stranded with a broken wagon wheel outside the remote village of Taos. So impressed were the two by their adventures they made plans to make it home. While Phillips would return the following year, it would take Blumenschein over twenty years to settle permanently. In the intervening years an art colony developed and eventually formed into the Taos Society of Artists.
Ernest Blumenschein, born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1874 and raised in Dayton, Ohio, was an academically trained painter, an accomplished violinist, and a respected illustrator and teacher during his life.
His early attraction to the Southwest was cultivated as an illustrator for magazines and books which explored the plight of Native Americans. He would take up these same themes in his paintings, first portraying Native Americans as cultural symbols and later advocating for their rights.
Blumenschein is remembered for his appealing, life-like paintings of New Mexican landscapes and people. But he was also an artist engaged with current trends. He challenged himself artistically whether it was writing a review of the most important modern exhibition of his time, forming a group of experimental painters, or exhibiting alongside the period’s modern American artists.
In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein features paintings, illustrations, and sketches, from early academic through mature works exploring concepts of modernism. The exhibition was organized by The Albuquerque Museum, the Denver Art Museum and the Phoenix Art Museum. In Contemporary Rhythm opens at the Albuquerque Museum, will then be at the Denver Art Museum from November 8, 2008 to February 8, 2009, and closes with exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum from March 15 to June 14, 2009.

July 19 & 20 10am to 4pm Spanish Colonial Tin Punch Demonstration at
the
visitor center (Unser at Western Trail)
Jason Younis, a Santa Fe native, learned the art of tinsmithing from
his
grandmother Angelina Delgado Martinez. Today, he continues the craft of
five family generations, participating in local and regional shows and
craft fairs. Most of Jason’s tools were given to him by his
grandmother but
he also makes punches to reproduce the designs of 17th century Spanish
Colonial tinwork. Jason’s designs, incorporating his own unique
imagery,
are drawn from traditional family patterns and historical Spanish
Colonial
tinwork.
July 26 & 27 10am to 4pm Pottery of Jemez Pueblo Demonstration at the
