El vape

Jennifer Altamirano-Ramirez

Refran: "A vape is just flavored air   

until she gets lung cancer"


Card Description: For my Loteria Card I wanted to share my thoughts on teenage vaping and the effect of vapes. I chose vapes as a subject matter because I want to bring awareness about the dangers of vapes.  The colors in the piece represent the image I drew, I wanted the colors to match with the mood of the image. The images in the piece represent how a vape looks fun to smoke but in the inside it causes lot of health issues. For me personally, this card represents the dangerous sides of vapes.  I want the audience to see what smoking vapes can do to you and the harmful effects vapes have in them.


Student Biography: My name is Jennifer Altamirano and I am a senior at Santa Maria High School. I live in Santa Maria, California with my mom and three siblings. My family is from Oaxaca, Mexico. In my Loteria card, I chose to represent teen vaping . What inspired me to draw my Loteria card was that there are a lot of kids, teens, an adults that vape and think it's fun, so I want to bring awareness to the topic of vapes and the danger of it. The artistic process was hard because I'm not good at art, I don't like doing anything that has to do with art, so I didn't really enjoy it. Life after high school will be hopefully to go to university or a collage then transfer and major in sociology and become a social worker.
