In Ms. Van Slyke’s art class, creativity recently took on a whole new challenge. Students in the art class participated in a unique project where they made life-size sculptures of themselves using plastic wrap, packing tape, and filling them with newspapers.

They used plastic wrap and wrapped it around their entire body, and then cut themselves out of it. And later, they filled it with packing tape to hold it all together and stuffed it with newspaper to ensure it was well-packed and maintained its shape.

When Mark Tverskoy ‘26 was asked about what he enjoyed the most about this project, he said, “I think the process of this project was the most enjoyable part, just something you have never done before, and it was super fun.”

When the sculptures were finished, they were presented to the entire school at our weekly school meeting. When the curtains parted and revealed the artwork, everyone was amazed at what they saw. This project showcased the creativity that the school has to offer and also demonstrates the creativity that our students here at Northwood possess.

They are now displayed in different parts of the school for everyone to see when they walk around the main building. It is something that you can get a laugh at, as it once again shows us the creativity that Northwood students have displayed here, and will continue to impress us with their creativity.
