Do the students need to have previous art skills?

No experience is necessary at all! Our professional artists are expert mentors who guide everyone from absolute beginners to those with a creative spark. We start with the basics—how to hold the can and control the spray—and move into more complex techniques. The focus is on boost-ing confidence and having a blast while learning a new skill in a supportive environment.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our spray paints are selected for their quality and we always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are trained to oversee the group closely, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and the environment remains respectful.

How long does a typical after-school session last?

A standard after-school session usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit your specific school schedule or extra-curricular slots if you need something shorter or longer.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—which could be large boards, cellophane walls, or even a legal wall space. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit dusty and bring plenty of creative energy!

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Absolutely. While we love the free expression of street art, we also teach the importance of 'legal' walls and the history of the craft. We encourage students to see graffiti as a tool for positive community impact and personal expression rather than vandalism. It's a great way to channel energy into a productive and respected art form.

What happens if we need to reschedule or the weather changes?

We are incredibly flexible and have a large team of backup artists ready to step in. This means we almost never cancel a session. If the weather in Arequipa turns particularly rainy (though rare!), we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or reschedule to a time that suits your group perfectly.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your after-school programme in Arequipa? It’s more than just painting; it's an experience that develops skills you won't find in a textbook. ✨

Boosts Creative Thinking: Street art encourages students to think big, experiment with bold colours, and visualise ideas on a large scale. 🎨
Builds Resilience: Learning to control a spray can takes patience! Students learn that "mistakes" are just opportunities to add a new layer.
Promotes Teamwork: Working on a collaborative mural teaches kids how to communicate and work together to achieve a shared vision. 🤝
Physical Activity: Moving around a large canvas is a great way to get students active and away from their screens.
Inclusive for All: You don't need to be a "traditional" artist to be great at graffiti. It appeals to all types of learners and personalities.
Professional Mentorship: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active members of the street art community who inspire with their passion. 🎤

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety briefing on how to use our professional equipment.
Mastering the Can: Students learn the 'nozzle dance'—practising how to control pressure, distance, and hand speed to create different lines and dots.
Sketching the Vision: Participants grab markers to outline their ideas on paper, planning their tags or characters before hitting the wall.
Background & Filling: Time to get colourful! We teach the kids how to create smooth fills and vibrant gradients to make their work pop.
Outlining Techniques: This is where the magic happens. We show them how to use high-contrast colours to define their shapes and make the letters stand out.
3D & Shadow Effects: To add depth, our artists demonstrate how to apply shadows and highlights, giving the graffiti that professional '3D' look.
Final Flourishes: The students add those tiny details—stars, drips, or highlights—that make their individual style shine through.
Group Masterpiece: Often, we'll bring everyone together to collaborate on one giant 'Arequipa' themed mural to celebrate their teamwork.
Photos & Cleanup: We snap some epic photos of the crew with their art before packing up the gear and leaving the site spotless.

Local culture

Arequipa, known for its stunning white sillar architecture and the towering Misti Volcano, provides a dramatic backdrop for urban creativity. While the city is famous for its colonial history, there is a growing, sophisticated street art scene emerging in neighbourhoods like Yanahuara and Selva Alegre. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, encouraging students to draw inspiration from the city's unique textures and colours. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Arequipa’s nickname, "The White City", comes from the volcanic sillar stone used to build its iconic structures? It’s the perfect high-contrast background for the bright, bold colours of a graffiti mural! 🌋

By bringing our workshops to Arequipa, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional heritage and modern youth culture, showing pupils how they can contribute to their city's visual story in a respectful and artistic way.
