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 Grecia Lopez-Macias

Title: Sakura filled Chicago

Artist's Statement:  My skateboard design shows the silhouette of Chicago overflowed with Japanese inspired "Sakura", also known as cherry blossom flowers. They are tied together with a red ribbon, representing Chinatown on a starry night.
