Inspiration

First, what are your general impressions of Pollock so far? How do the film's style and technique contribute to your impressions?

Second, look at your schematic structure of the artist's life (handout) and describe any points of intersection between the life events and Pollock's life so far.

Next, read the selection from Plato's Ion, posted under "assignments" on Blackboard. What is artistic inspiration in this dialogue, and where do you see similarities and differences between the text and the film?

Due Friday (Thursdays from then on), responses to each other due Sunday. Minimum 750 words (750-1000 range)
