La cancha

Diego Santos

Grade: 12

Card Number: 19

Refran: "The field was my dad motivation, the field was my realization."


Card Description: For my Loteria Card I wanted to share my thoughts on my idea of the card. I wanted to represent something that is very important but not in my life but in my dad's life that shaped my life   I chose as a subject matter because it helped developed my life and I think this also changes a lot of kid's life in a good way and positive for their life.  The colors in the piece represent the bright and dull colors of where my dad used to play between the mountains with a beautiful sky.  The images in the piece represent that many people have different stories in their thought  For me personally, this card represents how soccer changed my family life and my life for the good  I want the audience to see that something simple can mean so much to some people.


Student Biography: My name is Diego Santos and I am a senior at Santa Maria High School. I live in Santa Maria, California With Minevra Mendez, Juan Santos, Jonnathan Santos, Samanatha Santos, Camila Santos. My family is from Oaxaca, Mexico. In my loteria card, I choose to represent a soccer field that my dad used to play at in his hometown when he was a little kid and I want to bring awareness to this because my dad said it saved him from going down the wrong path. The artistic process was a pretty fun but challenging I am not the very best in art one of my least favorite thing to do in school its challenging but this porject it was fun because it represented something that was important to me. My plan after high school is to go to UTI in rancho Cucamonga I currently just got accepted to it and reserving my place.
