  Plasticine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plasticine is a putty-like modelling material; the word is trademarked, but in Commonwealth English it tends to be used as a generic description.
Plasticine was popular with children, widely used in schools for teaching art, and found a wide variety of other uses (moulding for plaster casts, for example).
Plasticine is used in animation, one of its main exponents being Nick Park who used characters modelled in Plasticine to win Oscars for his short films The Wrong Trousers (1992) and A Close Shave (1995).

There is an experiment with plasticine where if you roll it up into a ball, the plasticine sinks.
When you form a bowl out of the plasticine, you preserve the mass but increase the volume (because you have to count the air inside the bowl too), and the mass of air is far less then the mass of water.

 APT3 - Artist's Work
Today most of the work I do with Plasticine, has to do with maintaining my 'sets' or groups of figures, colour coded in green, blue, red, and yellow or making a figure or a group on personal request.
However, the fascination with plasticine remains probably because of the ability to mix colours here and now, like with painting rather than doing it in stages, and the fact that you can use plasticine to juxtapose two or more objects to make a new picture.
I also hope to use figures from one or more sets as characters for the purpose of making a story board, with a time machine flavour for a series of Video Cartoons or Audio Visuals that I believe, will be a popular medium for all Visual Artists in the future.
