Title: Optical Illusions and My Nighttime Memories
Theme: Your Night Sky, Astronomy
Materials and techniques: Students used a few different materials and technical skills for this project...Materials included pencil, colored pencils, and construction paper. Students learned how to create Op Art, and express a vision in their mind on paper.
Did you enjoy this project? This project took many twists and turns, when initial concepts didn't pan out, and no one was sure how it was going to turn out. However, with a little problem solving and perseverance, we were all very excited about how they turned out!
About: For this project, students learned about Op Art – or optical art, which is abstract, and often gives the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or of swelling or warping. Students learned about the innovative Op Art artist Edna Andrade and studied her painting 'Night Sea', that told the story of her memory of nighttime as a little girl. Students then created their own traditional and Op Art composition by drawing and coloring a favorite memory they had that took place at night, and adding a zigzag shaped piece of colored construction paper to their compositions. When four of these individual pieces are placed together in a square, they give the illusion of one cohesive artwork telling a story and also creating an optical illusion of a starburst in the center of the composition.

We are creating an Art Float for Social Change at Tam Makers, to inspire more people to participate in democracy.
Our parade float features Mother Earth and a circle of hands, pulled by the colorful dragon Quetzy. Young activists will sing and speak about social change -- and artists will share their ideas on our spinning carousel. They want you all to vote, speak up and create a better world!
This community art project was created by over a hundred volunteers at Tam Makers, led by Fabrice Florin and Geo Monley, with the generous support of Good Earth, Mill Valley Community Action Network and Tamalpais High School.
The Art Float for Social Change 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 elections.

Cluttered (and in need of clean up), but also happily layered with a few different projects/interests...
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAF)S East African regional program has selected six sites to test interventions that address risks related to climate change and variability. Featured here is the Lower Nyando site in Kenya and ongoing activities related to making baskets as a way to diversify livelihoods and income sources. This could help create resilience to climate change in the long term. Photos. K. Trautmann.

We are creating a Time Machine at ‘Pataphysical Studios, our art collective in Mill Valley, where surrealism meets the maker culture. Our Time Machine will take you on wild rides through time, to meet characters from the past, present and future.
On a balmy summer afternoon, we gathered in the art garden to create some of its parts: dragons of change to guide you on your journey; an art priestess in her prehistorical cave; a pataphysical flag on a magic pole; a painted gear holding the secret of life; a cactus of the future strolling by in stop-motion.
We then showed our Time Machine to young Dr. Delia, who gave it the two-year old test, pushing all of its buttons to jump back in time to the age of dinosaurs, her favorite scene. I’m pleased to report that we passed the audition. :)
This was also a great opportunity to celebrate our good friend Dr. Rindbrain’s un-birthday, which we kept low-key at his request. Long live the young at heart!
We are recruiting experienced artists and makers to help create the Time Machine through art, multimedia, theater and technology. Please contact us if you are interested and live in the Bay Area. We will give a few private demos in the fall for folks who are ready to get their hands dirty with us.

Title: Dare to Dream of PEACE!
Dream Theme: Peace, science, and technology
Materials and techniques used: Paper-Mache, re-purposed water bottles, air-dry Crayola clay, canvas, acrylic paint, craft paints, and metallic paint pens.
About: Students brainstormed for words and names and symbols. We all worked together to combine our dreams of world peace and Huntsville. We decided to look to Picasso’s peace doves and Huntsville’s rockets for our symbols. We are very excited about the 3-D aspect of our assemblage, and cannot wait to see our rockets attached by fishing line soaring out off the Saturn V on a windy day!
Do you have any other project ideas? I would like to see them actually build houses from re-purposed water bottles – each bottle containing a “Message in a bottle.” Do this for homeless people or 3rd world country households.
Did you enjoy working on this project? Yes. My students and I worked on this project for 2 – 3 years! It was a fun on-going work of art!

If you want you can add the back wheel. It just slides in and locks, and is removed the same way. I found it added some jitter to the back end when I had the penny ballast in.

So the other day, I showed where to find the App Store located on Macs. Well, today, I want to show how it's possible to create a self contained app, which actually shows up in your Dock using the iPhone App Store logo and everything, as you can see in the pic above.
The first thing you need to do is download Fluid:
Fluid is a cool free app that allows you to make apps out of web pages. You'll also need the iPhone App Store icon. Joshia Della at DeviantArt has one here:
joshladella005.deviantart.com/art/iPhone-icons-91004527
Okay, now that you have downloaded all the necessary components, open up Fluid and you should see the same dialog as above. First, paste in the url of Apple's download page. In this case it is:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/
Paste that in to the "URL" dialog. Next, you're going to fill in the "Name" dialog with "App Store" or "Mac App Store" or whatever name you want to give to this app.
Leave the "Location" dialog at its default of "Applications." Okay, in the "Icon" dialog, navigate to the PNG folder located inside the icon folder provided by Joshia Della and click on the "Applications" icon or whatever icon you prefer.
Now click "Create" and Fluid will ask you if you want to "Launch Now." Go ahead and click it because there's one more thing you need to do to make sure this is a self-contained app.
Go to the Preferences menu in your newly created app and go to the "Advanced" dialog. Inside, you will click on "Allow Browsing to Any Url." This option allows you to open up any link in the App itself. Otherwise, whenever you hit a link, it will automatically open up Safari or Firefox or whichever your default web browser might be.
That's all. Enjoy your new Mac App Store.
ProTip: When choosing icons for Fluid always use PNG files instead of JPEG. PNG files allow Alpha Channels, which is a big deal when part of the icon needs to be transparent. JPEGs don't allow this.
