Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?

Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. Every student is provided with high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. We use water-based or low-solvent professional spray cans that are safer for young lungs and the environment. Our artists are trained in group management and provide clear safety briefings before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows our strict 'no-nonsense' safety protocols.

Do the students need to have any previous art experience?

The beauty of a Graffitifun session is that no prior artistic skill is required! We’ve designed our curriculum to be inclusive for everyone, from the 'doodlers' to those who haven't held a paintbrush since nursery. Our artists break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. By the end of the day, even the most hesitant students are usually the ones most proud of their finished street art masterpiece.

How long does a typical school workshop in Faro last?

Usually, we recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2.5 hours for school groups. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a safety talk, practice sessions, and the creation of a final collaborative mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we are super flexible and can easily compress or expand the timing to fit your lesson blocks perfectly.

Can you host the workshop on our school campus?

We are totally mobile! We can bring the entire graffiti set-up to your school grounds in Faro, using mobile walls or canvases to keep your actual walls clean. Alternatively, we can help arrange an off-site location at a local legal graffiti spot if you want that authentic 'street' vibe. We handle all the logistics, including floor protection and cleaning, so you don't have to worry about a mess.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

While we love the sun, Faro weather can sometimes be unpredictable! If we’ve planned an outdoor session and it looks like rain, we can easily move the workshop indoors to a gym or large hall. We use special floor coverings to ensure no paint gets where it shouldn't. If moving indoors isn't possible, we have backup dates and a flexible rescheduling policy to ensure no one misses out.

What should students wear and what do they need to bring?

We suggest students wear old clothes that they don't mind getting a little 'colourful.' Even though we provide protective overalls or aprons, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves! We provide all the professional materials: premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, and the painting surfaces. Just bring your energy and creativity—we provide the rest!

Schritt für Schritt

Intro & Inspiration: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and an introduction to the professional artists leading the day.
Safety First: Every student gets fitted with their protective gear and learns the essential 'do's and don'ts' of spray painting.
The Art of the Tag: Students start by learning basic letter structures and how to develop their own unique 'tag' or artist name.
Can Control: We teach the technical side—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths with various caps.
Sketching the Concept: Whether it's a team mural or individual work, the students sketch out their designs before the paint starts flying.
Layering & Fill: This is where the magic happens! We guide the group through filling in colours, creating gradients, and adding 'bubbles' or textures.
Outlining & Detail: The pros show the students how to make their art pop using sharp outlines and highlights for a 3D effect.
The Final Reveal: We finish with a group 'gallery walk' where everyone can admire the final collective masterpiece or their individual canvases.

Lokale Kultur

Faro isn't just a gateway to the beach; it’s a city with a growing appreciation for urban expression. While the 'Cidade Velha' is famous for its historic arches, the modern quarters of Faro are increasingly becoming a canvas for local Portuguese talent. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to look at their city through a different lens. We often find inspiration in the bright Algarve sun and the coastal colours that define the region.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Portugal has some of the most progressive attitudes towards street art in Europe? Cities like Lisbon and Faro view graffiti as a vital form of contemporary culture, which is why your students are in the perfect place to learn!

Preise

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible for educational institutions, ensuring as many students as possible can experience the joy of street art.

Note: Final pricing depends on the number of participants, the duration of the session, and the specific materials required (e.g., individual canvases vs. a large shared mural).
