This birch tree scene is a cross-curricular art and science project inspired by our learning about animal seasonal adaptations. Students worked together to build a cohesive woodland landscape, beginning with individually painted birch trees that highlight the unique patterns found in nature. 

Each student created an animal commonly found in woodland habitats. Using mixed media: acrylic, tempera, and oil pastels, students explored texture, colour, and detail while bringing their understanding of winter ecosystems to life through art.

The scene is dynamic and changes to reflect the different seasons.
