After looking at the Neon Blitz prints I felt inspired to look at the work of Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky, 
I looked at Pollock because ever since I have known about his work people often say his work is child like, some even say that children could do better. I don't agree with this as although it just be 'paint splatted on a page' to some people to him they all meant something depending on how he felt whilst doing each one. Out of curiosity I asked two family members (aged 5 and 8) to look at his work and then paint something themselves, the results are shown under the Pollock painting below.

(^Dominic aged 8^)

I feel that these paintings are very interesting as they were both given the same images to look at (a variation of Pollocks work) yet the outcomes are so different, I noticed that the younger child got bored quite quickly and did not want to finish the whole page.

I looked at Kandinsky as I love the shaped and colours used in these pieces, the have not had a direct influence of my work as of yet but further on in the project they might.
