Abstract Details

2010, MFA, Kent State University, College of Communication and Information / School of Visual Communication Design.
This thesis explores the development of a series of illustrated portraits of current African American baseball players. It documents the artistic process and research necessary to make a narrative painting. In a world of instant communication and trash celebrity gossip photos, there exists an opportunity to surprise the viewer and gain attention with a well-conceived illustration. By advertising for baseball and the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program with art, it could gain new life in an African American community that has abandoned the game.
