We are creating an Art Float for Social Change at Tam Makers, to inspire more people to participate in democracy. Our parade float will reach out to youth and people of color through art, music and technology. We will present this art show on Earth Day, Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades in Marin -- and throughout California this fall, to encourage people to vote in the next election.
Our unique art float celebrates mother earth with a carousel of waving hands, pulled by a giant feathered serpent. Performers will tell stories of hope on a stage decorated with scenes of a better world. Large signs will invite people to speak up and vote! You can pitch ideas for social change on the podium, or have them scroll on the news ticker.
This community art project is created by a team of students and makers, led by Fabrice Florin and Geo Monley, co-founders of Tam Makers in Mill Valley. We are grateful to Tam High School for hosting this project and to all our wonderful volunteers and art, civic and educational partners, for helping create this float and present it to a diverse community.
We are building this project in March and April 2018, on Thursday evenings from 4 to 9pm -- or Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm. If you would like to volunteer, please email us at float@tammakers.org.

This was done for my Designing with Type class. The assignment was to sculpt or build 3D type, so I crumpled up old magazines, beaded wire through the papers, and used wire to make them stand.
On Sep 13, 2018, I debuted my first "Co-Create" event at San Francisco Apple Store at Union Square. It is a hybrid form of a design talk followed by an interactive creative workshop with audience participation.
In my talk, I break down my creative process for designing iconic characters, such as the Twitter Fail Whale, the localization of Mickey Mouse for Disney Shanghai recruitment campaign, the dumpling emoji, as well as my newest character design inspired by the San Francisco sea lion; which not only allow audience to discover how culture elevates user experiences and drives business, but also provide them actionable steps to create. After the talk, audiences can get hands-on with iPad and Apple Pencil (Supply by the Apple Store or bring your own) to make colorful illustrations and captivating stories.

Our Maker Art class created a Haunted House in fall 2016. In this after-school workshop at the Lycée Français, students ages 7 to 10 built a fantasy world together, with magical creatures, ghosts, witches and other spooky characters.
We combined arts and technology to bring their creations to life: each student created their own room in our haunted house, and animated their characters with motors and simple mechanisms, adding lights and sounds to tell their stories.
Students started by designing their rooms and characters, and built them in their own cardboard ‘wonderboxes.’ We then asked them to sketch up their individual visions of the Haunted House and combined them together. Children worked in teams to build some of the more complex features: a clock tower, an elevator and an animated graveyard zombie, all powered with Arduino boards.
I’m very grateful to my associate teachers for this class: Sarah Brewer and Edward Janne were amazing partners and empowered our students to create their own interactive art, helping them bring their ideas to life in a playful way that made learning more fun.
We taught this class weekly at the Lycée Français in Sausalito, with 8 school students in grades 3, 4 and 5. We met every Thursday at 3:30pm, from September 15 to December 8, 2016. Many of the materials we used in this class were prepared at Tam Makers, our makerspace in Mill Valley.

I really like the light on Yasmine here and the play with the tulle fabric. I like the way the tulle is frozen in the air and makes the image a little surreal
great to see the exhibition in full flow - on until 25th September - creatingbalanceproject.tumblr.com/

Hidcote Gardens were created by Lawrence Johnston. He travelled the world taking part in plant hunting expeditions and collected the best plants to bring to his garden. Hidcote is a garden divided by 30 garden rooms. Each of them to be explore with delight.
On November 6th, we held a Create a Commuter workshop for clients of our new partner agency, the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA). Zan, Randi, CJ, and Sam facilitated the workshop for ten participants, all of whom received refurbished commuter bicycles, new commuting accessories and helmets, and bike maps. Over the course of five hours, the participants learned all about bike commuting, route planning, map reading, and managed to work in two group rides. The instructors and volunteers especially focused on how to navigate Columbia Boulevard, as NAYA is located right off that busy road. We were blown away by the enthusiasm of the group and can't wait to work with NAYA again!
More about the Community Cycling Center's Create a Commuter: The Create a Commuter program provides basic bicycle safety education and fully-outfitted commuter bicycles to low-income adults striving to connect to work or workforce development by bicycle. We offer the program in partnership with local organizations that offer comprehensive employment programs.
More about NAYA: The Native American Youth and Family Center in Portland, Oregon, works to enrich the lives of our Native youth and families through education, community involvement, and culturally specific programming. We have provided educational services, cultural arts programming, and direct support to reduce poverty to the Portland metropolitan area's American Indian and Alaska Native community for over 30 years.
