It was a long process with little time and resources, Grierson said, but it was fun and worth the effort.
"It's really colorful," she said. "There are different areas and layers of light everywhere. Your eyes will be constantly moving around."
The lighting students take turns going to Boo at the Zoo each night to watch over the lights to make sure there are no mishaps or technical difficulties, Grierson said.
Grierson said the display will be graded, but Schoepp said the art students could just have fun and carve the pumpkins however they liked.
Once the zoo delivered the pumpkins, his students spent half a class period carving pumpkins and enjoying the weather outside, Clark said.
"I think it's a great activity for students to take a break from the coursework we have and help the community," Clark said. "It's always exciting to see how they take experiences from TCU and go out into the community and share their knowledge and excitement for life."
