=== Sand raking and beach murals===
''Sand raking'' is performed on a sandy beach where the artist rakes the dry top layer of sand, exposing the wet underlayer to create light-and-dark contrasts. Usually the designs are quite large and are similar to man-made art [[crop circles]]. The designs are ephemeral, and wash away with the next tide.<ref>[https://viralnova.com/beach-art/ A Man Takes A Single Rake To The Beach. And When You Zoom Out And See It… Mind BLOWN.]</ref> Some notable artists working in this medium include [[Andres Amador]], [[Sean Corcoran]] and [[Marc Treanor]].

=== Moving sand art ===
'''Moving Sand Art''' or '''Sand Frame''' is a display in which there are multiple colors of sand in water between two sheets of [[glass]]. Unlike [[Sandpainting|sand paintings]], a sand glass is meant to be turned; the sand, traditionally in black and a light color, moves into new shapes with each turn. Unlike sand paintings, which are a traditional craft, these are found around the world in many colors and sizes.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Art |first=Moving Sand |title=The Science behind Moving Sand Art |url=https://movingsandart.com/pages/the-science-of-sandpictures |access-date=2025-02-04 |website=Moving Sand Art |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-05-17 |title=Meet ‘The Sandman’: Artist Klaus Bösch discusses his sandy kinetic art |url=https://us.blastingnews.com/lifestyle/2017/05/meet-the-sandman-artist-klaus-bosch-discusses-his-sandy-kinetic-art-001705043.html |access-date=2025-02-04 |website=Blasting News |language=en}}</ref>
