Final Project Proposal

For my final project I was thinking about something I could possibly do with a series of events involving the emotions and actions on the baseball field. By using a 2-D design of a baseball and or a visual representation of the field I would like to depict some of the actions and emotions that take place on the field which many people who watch the games normally do not get to experience. Someone might ask what these emotions might be in which they cannot recognize from just watching the game? Coming from my standpoint, this year I have the opportunity to play ball with five other guys that I grew up with throughout summer ball and high school ball so we have a certain symmetry in how we play together. It is a great feeling to go out and play ball and have someone else beside who thinks and reacts in the same ways that you do. Having said this, some of the emotions, which I am talking about, are personal feelings and reactions on the field in the midst of actions.
By creating a series of visual representations I will be able to display four different emotions, which I feel during “ the heat of battle” so to speak. Such emotions that I could represent might include concentration, intensity, perseverance, and heart. Each time I step on the baseball field each one of these emotions runs through my blood and the people around me as well. It hard to sit down and right about the emotions you experience when your in the moment but I think I might be easier to depict them through words in a visual representation. So a collection of emotional words might be the easiest aspect of this project.
