Middle school girls from around the state of Kansas spent February 21st on the K-State campus as part of the GROW “Jammin’ with the Arts” workshop.  One of their stops was the Beach Museum of Art where they went on an Art, Math and Science Amazing Race.  Activities included learning about color and light waves, dot matrix printing and optics, thinking about the mathematical origins of the Kansas Meatball and Pyrro Techniko, and trying different media and thinking about the chemical compound used to bind pigments into useable paint or pastel.
