Is graffiti art safe for primary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority for Brisbane school events. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks and gloves. We also use low-odour spray paint specifically selected for use with children. Our professional instructors are experts at managing groups of primary-aged kids, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing their creativity in a controlled environment.

Where in Brisbane do these workshops take place?

We are fully mobile and can bring the entire graffiti experience right to your school grounds in Brisbane! We typically set up on the oval or a paved courtyard using our portable plastic walls. This means no permanent marks on your school property. If you'd prefer to get away from the classroom, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at a local legal street art spot.

What age groups are these workshops suitable for?

Our workshops are perfect for students in Years 1 through 6. For the younger ones, we focus more on simple shapes, colour blending, and 'filling in' pre-sketched designs. For the older primary students, we dive deeper into letter structures, shadowing techniques, and more complex spray can control. We always tailor the technical difficulty to match the age and motor skills of the specific year level we are teaching.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! One of the best things about our workshops is that no prior drawing or painting skill is required. Our Brisbane street artists guide the students through a step-by-step process that makes it easy for everyone to create something they are proud of. It’s all about building confidence and showing the kids that everyone has a unique creative voice, regardless of their 'artistic' background.

How long does a typical workshop last?

We typically recommend 2 hours for primary school sessions. This gives us enough time for a proper safety briefing, a demonstration of spray can techniques, and plenty of 'wall time' for every student to contribute to the final masterpiece. We find this timeframe keeps the energy high and the kids fully engaged without them getting tired or losing focus. We can, however, adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable.

What happens if an instructor can't make it?

We’ve got you covered with our 'no cancellation' guarantee! We have a dedicated team of backup artists in the Brisbane area. If your scheduled instructor is unwell or unable to make it, one of our equally talented backup professionals will step in. Your school event is a big deal to us, and we make sure the show always goes on, regardless of the circumstances.

Can you accommodate large year levels or the whole school?

We love working with large groups! For primary schools, we can facilitate workshops for entire year levels or even the whole school over a series of sessions. For very large groups, we simply bring in more instructors and set up more workspace to ensure every student gets a hands-on experience and plenty of time with the spray cans. Just let us know your numbers, and we'll handle the logistics.

Do we need to pay a deposit upfront?

Not a cent! One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is our 'no upfront payment' policy. We want you to feel completely confident in our service. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and the kids are buzzing from their creative experience. We’ll send through an invoice at the end of the day, making the admin easy for your school's finance department.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun session for your Brisbane primary school? It's more than just a painting lesson—it's an unforgettable school event that hits all the right creative notes! 🎤

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant piece of art come to life by their own hand gives kids a massive sense of achievement.
Teamwork in action: Students have to work together to plan and execute a giant mural, fostering real collaboration. 🤝
Expression without limits: Street art allows kids who might struggle with fine-line drawing to express themselves through bold colours and big movements.
Safe social environment: We create a space where it's okay to experiment, make mistakes, and learn in a supportive, fun-filled atmosphere.
Curriculum aligned: Our workshops can easily be linked to Visual Arts, Design, and even HASS curriculum outcomes. 🏆
Zero stress for teachers: We bring everything, manage the group, and leave your school as clean as we found it.

Step by step

Intro and safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture and a vital safety briefing including mask and glove fitting.
Technique demo: Our pro artists show the kids how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
The practice run: Students get a feel for the cans by practice-spraying shapes and lines on our temporary walls.
Design planning: Together with the students, we sketch out a large-scale design or 'mural' that reflects the school's values or a chosen theme.
Filling and fading: The kids get to work filling in the letters and learning how to blend colours like real Brisbane pro artists.
Outlining: Our instructors help students add the sharp outlines that make the graffiti 'pop' off the wall.
Adding the details: We teach the students how to add highlight 'shines', bubbles, and cool background effects.
The big reveal: We take a step back to admire the finished masterpiece and snap some epic group photos of the crew!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours (flexible to fit your school bell times).
Group size: From a single class of 20 to a whole year level of 100+.
What's included: Professional artists, all spray cans, safety masks, gloves, and temporary walls.
Safety first: Full public liability insurance, WWCC certified instructors, and kid-safe equipment.

Local culture

Brisbane is a city that pulses with urban art! From the iconic legal walls in Milton to the hidden gems in the laneways of West End, Brissy has a street art soul that's hard to beat. We bring that local "River City" energy to every workshop we run. Our artists are deeply embedded in the local scene and love sharing the history of Brisbane's street culture with the next generation of creatives.

Fun Fact: Did you know Brisbane hosts some of the biggest street art festivals in Australia? The city has transformed from a place where graffiti was hidden to a world-class outdoor gallery. Our workshops help kids understand this transformation from "vandalism" to respected urban art.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be affordable for primary school budgets. Costs vary depending on the number of students and the length of the session:

Price range: A$40 - A$90 per student.
No deposit required – you only pay after the workshop is finished.

Every school has different needs, so we’d love to chat about your specific goals!
