Art For The Sky: Daniel Dancer

Daniel Dancer has an MA in child-psychology and has devoted his professional life to working with children in a very unusual way. Working as a photo-journalist in the 80's, he became fascinated with sky art while traveling to Peru and encountering the famous Nazca Lines. When he returned home, he began working with Kansas field artist, Stan Herd, who creates giant images on the Earth by using a tractor as a paint brush and crops for color. One day, Daniel decided to bring an entire elementary school out to perform as beads on the headband of a 25 acre Indian head. The result was stunning. Two decades later, while visiting in Kansas, he ran into one of the "bead kids" who told him that the experience was the most memorable thing he did in school, that it taught him that our view of the world is too small . . . that a Big Picture View is essential! His comment led directly to the creation of Art For the Sky.
