Thanks to all the volunteers and artists who helped bring the visual arts to Innovation lab this year!
We explored the intersection of visual art, data, mathematics, and design, through weaving, LEGO patterning, and printmaking. Erin Drews led demonstrations in 3D weaving, visually capturing data about tulip varieties in Holland and the eating habits of participants. Chuck Cusack, who teaches computer programming and mathematics at Hope College engaged young and old with new perspectives on Latin squares, fractal designs, and the Fibonacci sequence, and the kids lit up at the chance to create their own patterns with LEGO bricks. And, Cassidy Middleton helped our student advisors lead fractal printmaking with acrylic paints.
