Daniel Dancer Art Of The Sky
22 07 2010Giant living paintings made of people. Art For the Sky is a unique, large group, team building activity for schools, special events, festivals and corporations that dissolves boundaries that often exit in our daily lives and awakens our ability to see that elusive Big Picture. Daniel Dancer became fascinated with sky art while traveling in South America in the 80′s and encountering the famous Nazca Lines of Peru. On his return 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. Daniel decided later to bring an entire elementary school out to perform. The result was stunning.
