Spooky Skin | Anatomy class celebrates Halloween with creepy skin makeup

Senior Reagan Kelley makes last minute adjustments to Eli Mumpower’s “wound” in Brandi Miller’s anatomy class. The class produced fake wounds on each other on Halloween while learning about the integumentary system. The system includes several layers of skin: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous. “The wounds turned out good for most of us for our first time trying it. It scared Mrs. Hutley, so it was a success,” Kelley said. Photos by Grace Spellman.
Senior Ryan Grutsch uses petroleum jelly, tissues and food coloring on her arm to mimic an injury. Students applied vaseline first, glued tissues, made a paste of food coloring and powder and painted the edges to make it realistic. Photos by Grace Spellman.
