What Is Sand Animation !?

Sand animation is a style of drawing animations and live performance using sand. The sand artist (sand performer) creates a number of images in a sequence forming a series by applying the sand on the surface then drawing figures and lines with his/her own hands; they often use a light box or an overhead projector.

The sand performer uses sand on a flat surface made of back-lit glass, then arrange the sand to let the light, depth, shadow and density go through and create the picture. The animator captures images, then these images arranged in a sequence and played at a suitable speed which make the illusion of motion. There are other practice also refers to “sand animation“, which is about a video of a sand artist creating his/her art while the camera is capturing all the actual motions on video; this kind of art is more referred to “sand painting”. Many sand artists bride themselves on their speed in the act of painting as a kind of performance art complete with accompaniment of audience and music.  Really it is an elegance art through which artists could reflect our real life or create messages.
