Oregon conceptual artist, Daniel Dancer, became fascinated with sky art while traveling in South America in the 80's  and encountering the famous Nazca Lines of Peru. When he returned home, he began working with Kansas field artist, Stan Herd, who creates giant images on the Earth (like the one above) 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 20 acre Indian head. The result was stunning. A decade later, while visiting in Kansas, the parents of one of the "bead kids" told him that the experience was the most memorable thing their son did in school, that it taught him that things aren't always as they seem . . . a big picture view of the world is really important.
