I have recently had my walls skimmed by a plasterer. The plaster has dried but painting the walls seems to use up a lot of paint, is there anything I can put on the new plaster to stop it soaking so much up?
Yes you should use a sealer first any DIY store will have it

I have an art assignment about Claes Oldenburg and we need to find out what plaster modelling is and how pop artists used plaster casting to enlarge objects. Any help?
Plaster modeling is normally taking a chunk of plaster and carving it (like one does marble or wood) to make an art object. Since plaster can be added to, it is possible to make a model, make a copy (see below) then add some plaster back in and carve that.
Because of what Claes makes, it is likely that this is what he makes – a maquette http://www.modernsculpture.com/glossary.htm that allows himself, his clients, and his construction people to see what is to be built much larger. It is not used to enlarge objects directly, other processes do that.
Plaster casting normally involves making a mold, which may be plaster, latex, rubber, etc., from a model, which may be wood, plaster, clay, or other artists materials as well as human flesh and other natural objects. The mold is used to make exact sized copies. In addition, plaster molds are used to make bronze castings where the outer surface of a clay is molded then a wax copy is made which will be melted away to make the hole into which the bronze is poured.

Our house is 50 years old with plaster walls. We are scraping off old wall paper and paint which is coming off nicely. The plaster is very smooth and shiney. I am wondering if the paint will stick properly to the plaster. Will primer and paint be OK or do we have to do something else?
I think that if you fill in any holes and primer the walls you will be just fine.
I would also look into faux finishes they are beautiful and can give your house an unique look.
