The Pierce College Multicultural Center hosted the Pumpkin and Paint event on Wednesday, Oct. 25.
Tables were arranged with rows of plain pumpkins for the creative touch from the student artisans.
The students jumped into the creative atmosphere. Some artists painted elaborate designs on their pumpkins, while others let their creativity go and splattered vibrant colors over their canvases.
Other activities were provided, such as skull and canvas paintings and games such as Uno, Connect 4 and Cards Against Humanity.
Pizza was provided at the event.
A few videos were shown, and one of them was on the life and work of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Another video that was shown was on the American singer-songwriter and pianist Nina Simone.
Andrea Damian was at the event, and she painted a skull.
“I just figured like it was a fun activity to do before class,” Damian said.
The event gave students a chance to interact with one another and have deep discussions.
Larz Magalong attended the event and was able to paint and talk to other students.
“I was so happy since I haven’t done any pumpkin painting,” Magalong said.
Evelyn Calderon attended the event as well and enjoyed it.
“I was interested in it because I love painting in my free time,” Calderon said.
