Over 800 children from Alex Haley and Wendell Smith elementary schools got quite a thrill this week by helping artist Daniel Dancer create a "living portrait" of President-Elect Barack Obama.

Dancer produces similar 'Art for the Sky' projects around the world, drawing on an ancient art form that originated in South America. more ›
