John Evans on 01 Feb 16"The Art of Tinkering looks at over 150 different artists and makers and how they weave science and technology into their work. It's beautifully designed and inspiring. It clearly demonstrates the important part that art, whimsy and creativity play in making. Each chapter focuses on a different technique, from aerial photography to cardboard automata to wearable circuits to toy take apart. The chapters each feature an artist or professional who uses that technique in their work, with an intimate look into their design processes, studios and tools. The chapters then follow up with step-by-step instructions for a DIY activity, which are often excellent for maker stations. I'm eager to try out the DIY wind tunnel and the marble run with my students."
