Early Projects
 


The Native American
450 children from Oskaloosa elementary school in Kansas form individual
beads on the Indian's headband in this 20 acre field art work by Stan Herd in 1988.
This was the very first Art For the Sky event with children forming part of the image.

To celebrate Earth Day in 1990  and  call attention to the plight of our forests,
the All Species Coalition asked Kansas City children to bring 1800 stacks of newspaper to the city's biggest park. The number 1800 was chosen because that's how many trees it takes to produce the Sunday edition of the Kansas City Star

Earth Goddess I
On the Columbia Hills in Washington in 1998, several hundred people
came out to create a special image with their bodies, blankets, jackets,
children and dogs. Designed by Laura Merriil and photographed by Daniel Dancer.
Two weeks later the Nature Conservancy permanently protected 3500 acres of this land.

Earth day, 2002
In Chewelah, WA, a few hundred community members formed this salmon
image using their bodies and clothes to be recycled.  A snake runs through
the middle of the salmon bringing "new salmon life" into a region
where salmon are currently extinct.
