Sand Sculpture in Ghana
Sand Sculpture is the practice of
modelling sand into an artistic form. The are two basic building ingredients, sand and water.
Tidal beaches generally have sand that limits height and structure because of
the shape of the sand grains. Good sand is somewhat dirty,
having silt and clay that helps lock the irregular shaped
sand grains together. Sand castles are typically made by children, simply for
the fun of it, but there are also sand sculpture contests for adults that
involve large, complex constructions.
In Ghana some artists choose to bring out
their creativity on our local beaches, by modelling interesting and artistic
figures based on current social issues of the day. In their small way, creating
the appreciation of Sand Sculpture in Ghana.
