Caroline Lee started out in an animation class. When she was
assigned a project to find something to put on a lightbox to present to the
class, she showed up with a bag of sand. A guy named Norman McLaren visited her
class and was amazed by her use of sand. He was like a child in a sand box.
Caroline thought that she was the first to animate with sand but she met a man
by the name of Ernest Ansorge who lived in Switzerland. He had been animating
with sand for years, she thought that he used ink because it looked different
than hers and it was done in black and white. After she made “Sand or Peter and
the Wolf” she moved to Rome and began to learn Italian and started drawing. She
went back to Harvard and made another film called “Orfeo”. Caroline continued
to make many other films. She made an Eskimo film on water base tempera colors
on milk glass. She wanted to do something with color and people. She also wanted
to be able to use something that would be easy to wipe off with a cloth. She
went on to make several other great animated films. Caroline Lee is a very
talented person. Her sand animations are really cool.
