Jackson Pollock, No. 1 - 1948

"Pollock danced some of the most beautiful paintings in the world." In this photograph we see that action which made for the name "Action Painting":

Jackson Pollock too often used his important hands to hit people. Once, when a fellow artist hit him back, Pollock, smiled and said "Thank you, but not so hard, not so hard." I think he was desperate to have someone honestly criticize him.

As he himself said, "The problem isn't painting, its what to do when you aren't painting."

TASK

Create a Pollock inspired image based upon and Image from Uphill using plaster and paint.
