Sand art can be divided in to types according to the place where it is performed. The first type is performed on a glass table and is called sand animation while the second type is performed on beaches or near seas.
For the first type of sand art that is performed on glass tables, it is based on animation as the artist uses sand on the glass table and begins to make shapes that present to us a story or conveys a specific theme. It is like silent narration to a story and you sit all the time waiting for seeing the coming incidents that complete the previous ones. It is based on suspense as you look forward to know what will happen at the end, you have no idea about the sand story so you wait. The performance is accompanied by playing music which affects the audiences more while watching the sand artwork. It is not an easy task to convince audiences and affect them without uttering a single word. It is a non verbal art that is highly effective and stunning.

For the second type which is performed on beaches, it is very wonderful and not less important than the previous type. All what you need to perform this artwork is to have water ad sand.
