A sea of bodies, in white, gray and blue T-shirts, filled a good portion of the grass Thursday afternoon at K.I. Jones Elementary School.

The students and staff, some on their backs, other on their knees, formed a giant blue heron while the Fairfield Fire Department took photos from ladder truck, getting a bird’s-eye view.

A drone also flew over the Art for the Sky event, to capture movement that artist Daniel Dancer will turn into a music video so students and staff can see their role in the giant creation.

The project was also designed to raise awareness of the environment and encourage mindfulness.
