Pumpkins: the New Canvas?

Boo at the Zoo starts tomorrow! The Zoo has collected many Halloween decorations over the years, but none are quite like the ones we received yesterday. A group of art students from Westlake High School have created a special group of pumpkins that you'll see at Boo. Check 'em out.
Yesterday, the Zoo received a shipment of airbrushed pumpkins from Westlake High School. We'd like to thank the students in the school's Airbrush Illustration 1 classes who donated them for Boo at the Zoo. The students designed their own pumpkins and art teacher, Staci Peltz, guided them through their creations. Struck by the uniqueness of each design, I was compelled to take individual photos of each pumpkin to share with you here in The Roar Report. I hope you like them as much as we did. You can see them in person sitting along the wall at Monkey Island.
