Did Jackson Pollock have children?

Not known of and in no biographies of him nor his wife was there anything about children.

Anyone expecting a trivial exposé of Pollock's controversial life should probably avoid "Jackson Pollock". This is an earnest biography of the abstract expressionist from his birth in Wyoming in 1912 to his violent death in 1956 on Long Island. An alcoholic, Pollock could be belligerent and cruelly insulting, even to his wife, the artist Lee Krasner; and it was excessive alcohol that caused his death in a car crash at the age of 44.

At other times he could be surprisingly meek. When the portable mural he created for Peggy Guggenheim's East Side apartment proved too long, Marcel Duchamp suggested they simply cut off 8", and Pollock didn't explode but calmly acquiesced. (About that famous mural, which is now at the University of Iowa: a recent theory asserts that the totemic figures marching across the canvas are actually stylized letters spelling out Pollock's name.) Pollock was the protégé of Thomas Hart Benton and some of his early paintings show Benton's influence.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
