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.

With each passing year, thoughts harder to convene,
And the days of youth seem more like a dream.
Not dreary or doubtful, but lively and true-
Moments and flashes from whence he passed through.
Laughed at by girls, but rarely lamenting
Baseball and fishing and mischief unrelenting.
Oh the joy that he took, from the act of dissenting!
The man he is now is what the kid was inventing.
At this point I had no idea what was going on other than maybe a training flight to practice ship approach. On closer inspection there are three lifebelts in the water and three lucky "volunteers" enjoying an autumn dip!
Dug up some old digital scrapbooking stuff..(from April 2008)

Yea - right - well, I had the entire length of selvage 1 1/4'' wide piece from the other side with which to make the long Tie Tube.
I stitched with my presser foot along side the fold at the left, right sides together - and then expected to turn this 2 yard length right side out - using my Loop Turner as you see here. WRONG!!!! Too long, and even though I took a 'big bite' as you can see in this photo with the hook on the end, it was a booger to try to turn, and it ripped through the end - leaving my turning tube a total FLOP!
How about some yarn to use as the Tie Tube????

Today's quick project. Use some pillow tik material I bough to cut 1" patches (diameter of the yellow lighter) and soak them in mink oil to use as patches for black powder shooting.

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.

We created a world that was in fact, so fast paced, that you don't even have to pull off of the road to get fast food. It is just that fast. This is me and Jay delivering water, popsicles, and ice cream to cars at the stop lights.
Created for the Marussia f1 team Christmas party at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon by Ian Cook, aka Popbangcolour, solely using radio controlled cars, toy car wheels and tyres.
These are avis I have created for myself or friends. All 100% mesh in the process of upgrades to BOM.

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.

We’re creating a Haunted House with lower-school students in our Maker Art class at the Lycée Français this fall.
In this after-school workshop, students are building a fantasy world together, with magical creatures, ghosts, witches and other animated characters inspired by Halloween.
We are combining arts and technology to bring their creations to life: each student will have their own room in our haunted house, and they will learn to build simple robots with motors and Arduino, then play with lights and sounds to tell their stories for our ‘show and tell’.
For our sixth class, we invited students to design special attractions for their Haunted House in small teams: a graveyard, a spooky elevator and an old clock tower. Children also put the finishing touches on their individual ‘wonderbox’ rooms.
My associate Sarah Brewer and I are teaching this class to students in grades 4 and 5 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito, every Thursday at 3:30pm, from September 15 to December 15, 2016.

Create A Smile September Moodboard Challenge
My impressions to that moodboard:
The colorings will be kept in orange, grey, silver and black like from the first pic. The pic in the right top corner made me think of a shaker card, like the little corns ... The pumkin is round like the sequins I am using. The leaves moving around in autumn like the shaker shaking ... so a lot of celebrations can happen in autumn ... so cheer out loud, dance, shake and have fun all!
