Art for the Sky

Heatherwood's E-STEAM school initiative launched this year with Art for the Sky, an interactive art experience.

Together with artist Daniel Dancer, our entire school community united to create this image of a columbine. Through Art for the Sky, students employed STEAM-based skills to plan and outline the state flower, and PK-5 students and staff joined in the creation of human artwork. The process was captured on video and in photos, illustrating how our impact on the world is greater when we work together as a community. 

The entire experience of Art for the Sky was moving and memorable for both students and staff, an incredible start to the 2025-26 school year.
