Sand Animation

John and Wendy had another great day with the students at Harry Gosling.
We got really stuck into sand animation.
Here are some links to Studio Misseri's sand animation which inspired us.

To make the animation we used tray's of sand which we then and drew into. After each frame we would flatten out the sand and re-draw.
A long process but with fabulous results.

Farhana-
"We have used different colour sands to make waves. Using wet sand was weird but wonderful. The animation looks so incredible. The sand felt weird when i touched it. It was hard to keep the sand off the floor. We had to wash our hands after we used the powder paint. The animation is really effective.

Ananya, Tracey and Mehreen-

"We were using sand, coloured sand and powdered paint to make a little river and some busy buildings. We took a picture every time and also used cookie cutters to make the buildings.We worked together."

Taskia-

"Today we have been doing some sand animation. Two other people worked with me. We used the boat sculpture we made last time and made the imprint move in the sand."
