Question: Does a mold or a cast give you more information about an object!?
I'm not quite sure how to answer this!. Help!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
a cast or casting comes out of a mold!. a casting is a copy of the original sculpture!. when you make a mold, you paint rubber onto the outside of your original sculpture (or object)!. When the rubber dries, you peel it off (from two sides) and the rubber is now your 'mold'!. Then you put the two sides of the rubbermold back together, and you can pour plaster into the rubber mold, and when it dries, you can peel the rubber mold off again, and you have a casting!. the answer to your question is 'cast' because it's an exact copy of the object!. To look at the inside of the mold, you'd see everything inverted!. it would look like a footprint in the mud, instead of a foot!. Your original object is the foot!. If you pour plaster into a deep mud footprint, wait till it dries and pull it out, it will look more like a foot than the print!. right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Casting will tell you everything the mold can, but with the visual clues that matter!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
