For my free inquiry project I am hoping to complete a hand painted skateboard. I have lots of experience with acrylic painting and craft making, however I am hoping to gain new skills with this project. While I have painted and made various crafts, I have never painted and put together a skateboard.
Last week I went shopping in OPUS, which is an art store located in downtown. As I was admiring all of the art supplies, I saw a blank skateboard deck that was made out of wood. I knew immediately that I wanted to take on the project of panting and assembling the deck. I want to use my art skills on a larger scale and on a new material as I mostly paint on canvas. While the building of the skateboard seems like a lot of new skills to learn and many steps to complete, I know I’ll have a lot of fun completing this project!

Hi Kyra,
I think this is a very cool idea. I never would have thought to do something like this for my inquiry. I like the idea of not only painting the deck, but also assembling it because as you mentioned, you have never done that before.

Kyra, I love this idea! It is something that I would have never thought of! I love the that you decided to take these blogs somewhere different than most are! I look forward to seeing the progression of your skateboard!
