Lane Tech students in an Art 1 class with Ms. Chisholm designed and painted an image for a skateboard deck. These 10 students were then selected by popular vote to have their painted image printed on a real skateboard deck. These maple wood boards printed by BoardPusher.com, are standard popsicle-shaped decks with pre-drilled holes for wheels. They can become usable skateboards if desired or can hang on the wall as a fine art painting.

This particular piece was designed by Isabel Flores

Title: Chisme

Artist's Statement:  My skateboard imagery was originally a sketchbook assignment based on the theme of secrets, but I liked it so much that I decided to use it as the skateboard design. The reason I picked the Pop Art style is because I like that it is very simple but still gets the viewer’s attention with its bright and vivid colors.
