What is sand animation?
sand animation is an art form that combines certain elements of traditional animation and performance to tell a story or create a series of scenes with sand. This is usually done by placing sand on the surface and shining light through it to project the sand image on the screen. The artist can then manipulate sand on the surface in many different ways and silhouettes created by sand creates images on the projected surface. The animation of sand is often used together with music to tell the story that takes place, because the pictures created by sand are shaped and changed by an artist.
As a basic concept, sandstone animation combines several different forms of art in a single performance. In many ways, this type of work is similar to a performance art in which the artist himself is a central part of the work. The animation of sand often uses a clear surface, through which it is shining and reflecting on the screen, similar to the projector used in presentations or classrooms. The term 'animation' is suitable because shapes createThe artist's change during the performance and within minutes can tell the story through a series of images.
Music is often used as an accompaniment in sand animation, rather than telling the artist. Different songs can be used during a single performance, and each song is usually selected by an artist to increase the emotional content and tone of a particular moment. While artists can improvise and create new scenes, the whole presentation of sand animation is usually conceived in advance. This allows the artist to tell a certain story during the show because one scene moves to another.
The progression of images is an integral part of the animation of sand and the way one scene turns into the next is, like the importmrave, as the content itself. At one point, sand on the surface could create a silhouette that resembles children playing in the field, and thanks to a few movements of the artist's hands, these forms could become náhrobs in the cemetery. The transition from one picture to another creates juxtaposition that the artist can use to improve each scene and create a stronger statement. These performances seem to take secondary life because the audience watching the sand animation "fills" moments between images to interact with work and create personal meaning.
