How to Make Sand Sculpture
Summer time is the beach time. And if you want to make it a fun time too, there's nothing great than making a sand sculpture. It will take only some time, patience and tools, apart from, of course, sand- and you can make sand sculpture that can compete with any professional sand sculptor's work.
Tools Needed for Sand Sculpture
You'll need only some basic tools that can be collected from kitchen or your home tool sets.
Shovel: A long-handled shovel with a small scoop is a must.
Carving Tools: Simple tools- masonry trowels, spatulas, apple corers, chisels, Popsicle sticks, spoons, knives, pastry brushes, melon ballers- all will do.
Spray bottle with water: You'll need it to keep the surface wet to avoid crumbling.
Bucket: You might need it to carry water for making sand more wet.
Finding the Right Location
You need a good location where you can get fine-grained, silty sand as it works the best. Search for the high-tide line, a spot where the darker, wet sand shifts to white sand that blows easily. Set up your construction site just up hill from it. You'll have to dig a hole down to the water table. If you dig too far from the shoreline you'll have to dig a very deep hole but if it's too close, it might get wiped out by waves or incoming tides. Also ensure an easily accessible water source, you might have to bring some from time to time.
Test the sand by picking up a fistful of wet sand and compress it into a ball or a roll. When released and rolled, if it remains fairly intact, it'll work but if it disintegrates, it's not good for sand sculpture. An alternative option for digging a hole is to mix the sand and water in a bucket and build out of it instead.
Basic Methods for Building Sand Sculptures
Compaction is what make sand stand. There are three basic ways to compact sand- softpack, Handstacking, and using forms.
Softpack: packing and patting moist sand into a mound that roughly resembles the shape you want to make.
Handstacking: Setting the wet sand with gentle pressures by hand helps one achieve higher structures while letting water and gravity do the compacting.
Forms: Using some kind of mold or frame is good for getting perfect shapes. Forms can be anything like a wooden box or plastic trash can with no bottom.
Professional sand sculptors generally use a combination of all the three methods.
Construction of Sand Sculpture
Use your hands to scoop out a large doublehandful of very wet sand from the bottom of the hole. Pull the sand towards you. Move the sand fast so that the water is not lost before reaching its destination. Start making your sand structure, say a castle, on top of the mound of sand that has been dug from the hole.
For making towers, flatten the wet sand into pancakes by jiggling them with gentle pressure with the aim of distributing the water consistently through the patty so it settles into and binds to the patty below. Stack sand patties piled on top of each other. Use smaller handfuls at higher portions so that the tower tapers at the top and doesn't get top-heavy and fall over before carving is started.
For making walls, hold the sides of wet sand between flattened hands and jiggle so that the sand takes a brick shape. Lay bricks end to end for the required length of the wall, then lay another layer on top, repeating until you reach the desired height.
Carving the Sand Sculpture
When the rough structure is ready for carving, start working from the top. Work down, and always carve outward to retain structural integrity. Remove like amounts of sand from all sides of the sculpture. Never attempt to complete one side at a time. First build a simple shape as the main structure and add sand later for other structures.
Admire your creation and if you are afraid that your sand sculpture will be washed away, then you can also make permanent sand sculpture. Just give it a try and keep your creation forever!

Why not try reading them and working out the answer for yourself. Then any marks you get will be honestly earned and not the result of someone else's work.
