Best Answer

So called "Sand-painting" is not art as we normally mean with the word. It is important because it is part of Navajo traditional religious ceremonies. They are made of colored sand, pollen, charcoal and other ground up substances. They are destroyed at the end of the ceremony. Most of the ceremonies are to heal a patient. Most of the ceremonies last many days and can include 12 or more sand paintings. Some sand paintings have been done for art but the images are usually altered so as not to harm the makers.
