I am proposing a 2 dimensional modular mural. Painted on shaped artwork, wooden panels with acrylic paint, will form puzzle-like pieces with a length of 2 feet and a width of 7 feet.

The mural depicts a visual history of pinball machine art, beginning with imagery from the 1950's through contemporary images.

The mural plays off of the format of Raphael's "School of Athens", depicting students at work in the various degree fields of study that Midwestern State University offers.
