In art teacher Bianca Daidone’s class, second grade students explored abstract art and no paintbrushes were required. Instead, students used straws to move paint across the paper and discovered how the power of their breath could create swirling, spatters and unexpected designs. 

With each puff of air, colors danced and blended, forming whimsical patterns that were as unique as the artists themselves. Softer breaths produced smooth, flowing lines, while stronger gusts created bursts of texture and color. 

The creative exercise encouraged students to express their emotions, experiment with new techniques and develop empathy through open-minded exploration.
