2021 recap
________ Srilakshmi KoyA As a high-schooler, the one constant connection we have with the rest of the world is social media. Waking up at 9 AM and sifting through the threads of stories and posts on Instagram was embarrassingly my only source of news, political stands and social drama. On everyone’s stories were reposts of memes, cartoons, interviews, and the progression of life when everyday felt as if it was put on pause. So, here's the 2021 I saw.

A human record
________ GRACE CHUNG AND KAYLYN ZHONG With a rise in new platforms to share and store photos, the creation of physical photo albums to hold the memories of people and past events has become increasingly obsolete. The surging popularity of social media, in particular, has led to many displaying photos online rather than creating albums—believing it to be cheaper, easier, and more time-efficient. However, there exists an unseen value in having a physical, printed ‘feed’ that many people may not realize. The utilization of albums as record-keeping devices allows for the preservation of more permanent and long-lasting memories—forging a personal connection that can be cherished for much longer than if they were withheld in online storage.

The Muse is an award-winning student-run publication that compiles student art and writing into an annual magazine. Founded in 2002, this class was founded on the principles of being able to escape the structure of school and create an environment where it is possible to explore the arts and find your voice. Exploring a variety of works, we focus on combining creative writing and the arts into our publications. We showcase the work of Northview's talented artists, writers, composers, and many more in celebration of their creativity.
The Muse accepts, but is not limited to, works such as poetry, prose, screenplays, music compositions, song lyrics, and visual arts submissions. Each submission is then critiqued on quality and theme before selection. Students whose work(s) are accepted become published writers or artists, and their art is circulated not only throughout the school, but also throughout national competitions. Northview's The Muse is dedicated to giving all students' art and writing a voice, an outlet to expand their talent, and a chance to be heard.
