The Art of Tinkering: Meet 150+ Makers Working at the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology Hardcover - 2014
by Karen Wilkinson; Mike Petrich
Summary
Every day, thereâÈçs something new and wildly wonderful out there that someone has made by handâÈ'a city built out of 100,000 toothpicks, a musical instrument thatâÈçs powered by the ocean, or a pop-up book that lights up, too. In The Art of Tinkering, youâÈçll be introduced to the individuals behind these and many more marvelous works, find out how they create, and get inspired to start tinkering yourself.
The Art of Tinkering is a collection of exhibits, artwork, and projects that celebrate a whole new way to learn, in which people create their own knowledge through making and doing, working with readily available materials, getting their hands dirty, collaborating with others, problem-solving in the most fun sense of the word, and, yes, oftentimes failing and bouncing back from getting stuck.
Each artist featured in The Art of Tinkering goes through this process, and lovingly shares the backstory behind their own work so that readers can feel invited to join in on the whimsy. Whether itâÈçs sharing their favorite tools (who knew toenail clippers could be so handy?) or offering a glimpse of their workspaces (youâÈçd be amazed how many electronics tools you can pack into one pantry!), the stories, lessons, and tips in The Art of Tinkering offer a fascinating portrait of todayâÈçs maker scene.
The artists and authors donâÈçt stop there, though: TheyâÈçve also developed beginner activities for you to try on your own. So you can make your own circuits out of playdough, film your own time-lapse movie, build tiny robots that create art as they move, fuse plastics into beautiful fabric, make your own automata, and much, much more.

Moxie
