Check out what the artists at Buffalo Elementary are creating!

3rd Grade Over and Under the Snow

Our inspiration for this seasonal artwork was the book Over and Under the Snow. This incredible book is filled with beautiful images and factual information about the subnivean zone, or the area in and underneath the snow pack. This zone is a secret shelter for many animals such as shrews, voles, mice, squirrels, and queen bumblebees  in the wintertime.

Our inspiration: Over and Under the Snow​ by Kate Messner

After learning about this secret kingdom under the snow, students drew a horizon line and an "under the snow" line and added color using tempera paint. For the next class, I went the the library and gathered animal books for the students to work form. Animals and trees were cut out of painted paper and construction paper. Oil pastels were used to draw moss, add texture, or add detail. 

Thank you to Deep Space Sparkle for the project inspiration.
