How long does a typical after-school graffiti workshop last?

Typically, our after-school sessions in Medellin last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their 'tagging' on paper, and then move onto the big walls for their final masterpiece. We find this timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the youngsters getting overly tired.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Plus, our professional artists are trained to supervise children, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having a blast!

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple lines. Our artists guide the group step-by-step, so even kids who don't think they are 'artistic' end up creating something they are incredibly proud of. It’s all about building confidence.

What is the cost per student for a Medellin workshop?

The cost usually ranges between $100,000 and $250,000 COP per student. The final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the programme, and whether we are coming to your school or hosting you at one of our local street art spots. Because every school's needs are different, we recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing.

What materials do we need to provide?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the professional-grade spray paint, caps (nozzles), protective gear, sketches, and the painting surfaces. If the workshop is held at your school, we just need a suitable wall or we can bring large mobile wooden panels. The kids just need to bring their enthusiasm and perhaps wear some old shoes they don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

Can the workshop take place on our school premises?

Absolutely. While we love the energy of Medellin's streets, we often bring the workshop directly to school grounds. We use protective floor coverings and mobile partitions to ensure we leave the premises exactly as we found them (except for the beautiful new art, of course!). This makes it super convenient for parents and teachers regarding transport and logistics.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our after-school workshops for children aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the coordination to follow the artistic techniques. However, we can adapt the programme for slightly younger groups using water-based markers or different artistic tools if requested. Just let us know the age group when booking!

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and a vital safety demonstration on how to use the gear 🛡️.
Mastering the can: Students learn 'can control'—practising dots, lines, and gradients to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, everyone grabs paper and markers to map out their tags and characters.
Outline technique: The artists show the kids how to scale up their sketches onto the large surface using light 'ghost lines'.
Filling in: This is where the colour pops! Students learn how to fill large areas evenly and create cool colour transitions.
The power of 3D: We teach the secret of adding shadows and highlights to make the graffiti look like it's jumping off the wall ⚡.
The final outline: The 'pro' touch—tracing back over the edges with a sharp black or white outline to make the piece crisp.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the masterpiece with a photoshoot and ensure all caps and cans are tidied away responsibly.
