Process of making a statue

  

   A statue is a large sculpture of a person or animal, made of stone or metal. Plaster is used to make statues. At first plaster of Paris is mixed with warm water. Before mixing the paris, a cast of statue is made with wood. Then the mixture is poured in the cast. The cast is stored in temperature and humidity controlled room for 24-72 hours, for the mixture to be hardened. When the statue is dried, the cast is carefully removed and the statue is taken out. The dried statue is inspected and it is coloured. Finally the statue is ready to display.
