The answer is: modelling.

Explanation for each option:

  • Carving: This method involves removing material from a solid block to create a sculpture. It is a subtractive process and is not typically used for testing ideas, as it is more permanent and less flexible.

  • Casting: This involves pouring a liquid material into a mold where it solidifies into the desired shape. While casting can be used to replicate models, it is not primarily a method for testing ideas.

  • Measuring: This is a technique used to ensure accuracy and proportion in sculpture but is not a method for testing ideas or creating preliminary versions of a work.

  • Modelling: This is the correct answer. Modelling involves shaping a pliable material like clay or wax to create a preliminary version of a sculpture. It allows sculptors to experiment with forms and ideas before committing to the final piece, similar to how painters use drawing to explore concepts.

  • Assembly: This method involves putting together various pieces to create a sculpture. While it can be used creatively, it is not typically a method for testing ideas in the same way modelling is.
