Seeing Sound

Rowan’s interest in sound engineering continues to develop. His latest focus is to extend his dj station with additional output of signal (sound) to more devices (speakers). In order to support his exploration and desire, he installed a small Behringer mixer, but soon discovered that while it has a lot of inputs, what he really […]

Grandparents, Gravity, Goodies, and Dessine

Will complete this entry when I have the mind to get all the images together. Tinker Crate with Grandpa – they did the fiber optics constellations and the defy gravity game Grandpa tuned the piano and Lily has become fascinated with not only playing but watching the mechanics. Today she stated she’s going to […]

Inventions

This is what we’re exploring this week… commons.wikimedia.org / Via Hannah Jewell 1. The car heater lib.muohio.edu Magnus Manske via commons.wikimedia.org(8516891322).jpg The first car heater, which directed air from over the engine to warm the chilly toes of aristocratic 19th-century motorists, was invented by Margaret A. Wilcox in 1893. She also invented a combined clothes […]

Division and Divisons of Devised and Designated Digits, With Some Knots Included

She’s inventing a new kind of knitting, it’s called, ‘”The Freedom Knit” because you can make it up yourself. You can do it however you want; whatever way you can find that works.” She’s making me something super soft. Images posted in reverse order of completion

The Camera: All Because Lily Asked

Lily asked about the first “camera”… we learned about the history of the photographic creator, and are trying to create our own representation that we can then manually trace the image to preserve. Camera obscura An artist using an 18th-century camera obscura to trace an image Photographic cameras were a development of the camera obscura, […]
