Plaster casting is a techniques that artists, such as Whiteread, use to create either a negative or positive space. Whiteread creates negative space as seen by 'house'. I tried plaster casting something simple, a set of keys.
Firstly, I selected some keys and then pushed them into some clay. I then mixed some plaster into water and poured it into the clay. Before this a created a barrier, so the plaster wouldn't run everywhere, out of scrap wood. This also made sure that the plaster stayed in shape. This is an example of positive casting.
