No, plaster of Paris and white cement are not the same. Plaster of Paris is a porous material that will disintegrate outside in the rain. White cement is more durable and should last outside in the rain.
If you asking about plaster of Paris which is used for modling, moulds or casting a broken arm then water is all you add to the powder, if it's plaster for a wall in your house then the answer is the same water.
Yes, gypsum and Plaster of Paris (POP) are closely related. POP is actually made by heating gypsum, so their chemical reactions are similar when mixed with water—they both harden quickly and are used for wall and ceiling finishes. But in real usage, gypsum plaster is better than regular POP. It’s stronger, more crack-resistant, and doesn’t shrink much after drying. I’ve used Buildwell gypsum plaster for ceiling work and it gave a smooth, long-lasting finish—much better than local POP brands. It’s one of the best gypsum plaster products in India.

I suppose if you were doing a faux fresco you could use tempera paint, but this wouldn't be done using plaster but on paper in the same style. On plaster I don't think the tempera would work.
First of all...I really hope this is a project. But since you asked, the paper mache is easy. You need glue, paper(newspaper), and water. Then you mix, and then you should have the paper mache part done. Then how do you form the body? Good question. Well it really depends on the structures, the width, and the length of the body. If you want it to have the same structures like yourself then you need to trace your body on a big piece of cardboard with a marker so you can see the lines. if you need help ask an adult or a friend to trace your body. Then for the structure of your body, the body needs a face right? So get a picture of the person your mache-ing and you know how it works, you give them a nose, eyes, mouth, ears, and then for the hair you take yarn or if you want to be really creepy use real extensions or something like that. So there you have it! If you need any more help with the paper mache, I'm pretty sure they have it online now. Thanks :)
Just buy them online, they are pretty cheap. Or.. if you don't just waste your money, watch this YouTube video on how to make a mannequin out of duct tape and paper mache. It really helped me with the same problem.
Im trying to find the same thing I will update when I figure out
no it is not the same thing usually
A fourth of a pound is the same as a quarter of a pound,a pound is sixtenn ounces so a quarter of a pound is 4 ounces....about a handfull for a 5 year old id say!
Yes it will, it's basically the same composition.
Yes. 'SheetRock' is a particular brand name for gypsum board. I believe 'Drywall is, too.
