El Casco

Juan P. Rico Garcia

Refran: "You do not get much of these oppurtunities in life, so live your life to the fullest."


Card Description: For my loteria card I wanted to share my thought on a Football helmet. The reason I drew the Helmet was because growing up my brother played the game and I always wondered what it would feel like to wear a helmet and play the game of football. There are different types of helmets in football I drew this one in particular because it is the nicest helmet and looks cool and for me it is aways you look good you play well and this helmet makes you look good. Putting this helmet means a lot to me as well my brothers play and wore a helmet, so I wanted to keep that going and not let them down and be better. I chose the green background to represent the green grass and the helmet just laid out on the grass. Also, the game of football is tradition in High school being under the Friday night lights representing your school most of your city coming to watch the game and the student section it is just a great environment and great to be around.


Student Biography: My name is Juan Rico and I am a Senior at Santa Maria High School. I live in Santa Maria, California with 4 of my brothers. What inspired me to draw my Loteria card was I have a lot of love for the sport of football and Friday night lights, and it is a tradition in High school to have Friday night lights. I wanted people to know Friday night lights is a tradition and the type of stuff that goes on and what you have been missing out on. The Artistic process was pretty fun was relaxing to do. Life after high school will be fun and something to look forward to. It will be a different experience because I will be an adult and making some life decisions, but I am excited and ready to see what the future holds for me.
