Sand art is the practice of modeling or sculpting sand into an artistic form. Some categories of sand art include sand brush, sand sculptures, sand bottles and sand paintings. With adequate skills and practice, professional artists can create almost anything out of sand. Sand art is a form of sculpting which has three dimensional properties, so viewers will be able to see the expounded parts of these artworks. With the usage of sand, water, sculpting tools, professional talent and skills, artists can create a majestic figurine out of sand.

Sand art usually happens by the beach where sand and water is abundant. When sand is mixed with water, sand grains will stick together. Water forms little ‘bridges’ between the grains of sands due to surface tension.  When sand is damp, it allows sand artists to pile sand up and build beautiful sand art.

Sand sculptures are a source of inspiration, creativity and imagination for sand designers and artist. From building simple sand castles when young, many artists have grown their career in sand art to moulding large and interesting sand sculptures all around the world.

Beauty comes at a price though. Amazing and larger-than-life sand art consumes a lot of time and requires a lot of hardwork. Nevertheless, it is all worthwhile for the artist as they get to stand in awe of their amazing sand creation after it is completed. Many annual sand festivals and competitions are organized globally for sand artists to show of their sand sculpting skills and talents.
