Cubism helped him understand the pictures space. A Jungian helped him get rid of his alcoholism encouraged him to draw drawings, this later led to his paintings. Including surrealism. Pollocks understanding of his pictures may have been influenced by modern humanity living in the shadow of nuclear way. Picasso the drawer and painter inspired Pollock. When he created his drawings they helped shape Pollocks understanding of his pictures that were outpourings of his mind. In his developing of lines from colour may have a connection with the history of modern art. Along with pictorial space. In 1939 he began visiting the Jungian analyst who helped him get rid of his alcohol addiction and led him onto drawings. When it comes to painting my pages I usually make a background colour by making long brush strokes. I liked the way the documentary started as it came from a new angle, it shown the artist with his long brush making lasso marks over the transparent plastic. 

Jackson was the first american painter to capture the popular imagination. It was interesting to see how he became who he is today when it goes into detail about where he lives and he grew up. The part where they explained about his dad being a farmer who was a weak man was interesting to see what background he came from. 

The part where he talks and explains about how he likes to work when doing art, the fact that he likes to work on the floor is very close to him he feels a part of his work. I really thought the way he gave us in introductory paragraph was very interesting it was also like set by set introductory. He likes to work at home is intreeging due to the fact that artists usually find it better to take inspiration and new ideas away from home.This of been because he likes to keep his style in art, however I noticed that he also took inspiration of his work from friends and people he met. I liked the way it shown us his work as he developed. It was also interesting to see the way he would apply paint to his work by using either a stick or a brush.  

The usual thing about he begin was he mentioned the fact he likes to use fluid paints to drip his work onto the canvas after pouring it with whatever colour paint he wanted because originally I thought he used a plain paper rather than a layer of white paint poured onto the paper. 

I liked the way one of the interview said "Is a natural growth out of a need he expresses his feelings technique in means that arriving at a statement" by saying this I can gather that he enjoys showing his feelings in a certain way so he writes what the painting is. 

It then explains about how he moved to East Hampton in "Long Island" where he continued much of his great work. He was also among other painters that they were part of a movement called the abstract painters, he followed himself out there, which I thought was interesting to see how he became more abstract in his paintings. 

It was also interesting to see how they carried out their artwork they were referred to as strong men, which I thought had some connection with the way they made pieces very big and strong. The time period I found interesting as it was after the war so this may have had something to do with the possible new start in art which may of had something to do with his work with Picasso.
