Discover Your Dreams

Early in 2008, Jennevieve Schlemmer, public artist and sculptor, began work to create a mosaic for SCDS. But she didn't touch any art materials for weeks! She first met with all of our students in several brainstorming sessions that resulted in large themes like "embracing the unusual," "hidden math is everywhere," "playing with perspectives," and "creativity in chaos." She then reviewed student drawings for images that she found especially interesting.

The result? A wise octopus reading a book, music notes on DNA, a mysterious mountain, and explorers in a hot air balloon—just some of the images in Discover Your Dreams, inspired by our students and made possible by the donors to the SCDS Anniversary Arts Fund.
