Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! We use high-quality water-based spray paints for our primary school workshops in Genoa. These are specifically designed to be low-odour and much safer for younger lungs compared to standard industrial paints. We also provide all necessary safety gear, including gloves and masks, ensuring a secure environment where children can focus entirely on their creative expression without any health concerns.

What should the students wear for the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'play clothes' that parents don't mind getting a bit messy. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is an active and splashy art form! It is best to avoid brand-new trainers or school uniforms. Once the paint dries on fabric, it is permanent, which makes for a great souvenir T-shirt but a less-than-ideal school blazer!

Do the children need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Genoa workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps that even a 7-year-old can master. We start with basic lines and shapes, ensuring every child feels confident and proud of what they create by the end of the session.

Where in Genoa do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your school grounds in Genoa—whether that is the playground, a sports hall, or a large art room. If you prefer to get away from the classroom, we can also arrange sessions at legal street art zones in the city. We bring all the equipment to you, making logistics simple for teachers.

How long does a typical school session last?

We typically suggest a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for primary school groups. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus levels without the children getting over-tired. It allows enough time for a solid introduction, safety briefing, practice session, and the creation of a final masterpiece to show off to the rest of the school.

Can you accommodate children with special educational needs?

We pride ourselves on being inclusive! Street art is a physical and visual medium that transcends traditional academic barriers. We can easily adapt our teaching methods for children with different learning needs or physical disabilities. Because graffiti is about 'breaking the rules' of traditional fine art, it often provides a wonderful confidence boost for students who struggle in standard classroom settings.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your primary school? It’s not just about the paint; it’s about the transformation. Here is why Genoa schools love working with us:

Confidence boost: Even kids who think they 'can't draw' find success with graffiti techniques. 🚀
Teamwork in action: Our collaborative murals teach students how to communicate and build something great together. 🤝
Physical coordination: Using a spray can develops fine motor skills in a way a paintbrush simply can't. 💪
Safe & professional: We use child-friendly, water-based paints and provide all necessary safety gear. 🛡️
Stress-free for teachers: We handle the setup, the teaching, and the cleanup—you just enjoy the results! 🎉
Authentic artists: Your students learn from real street artists who live and breathe this culture. 🎤

Step by step

The creative spark: We start with a high-energy intro about the history of street art and how it turned from scribbles into world-class gallery art.
Safety first: Kids get geared up in their protective kits while we explain how to handle the spray cans responsibly and respect the environment.
Sketching the vision: Before touching the cans, students brainstorm their designs on paper, focusing on bold letters and vibrant characters.
Mastering the nozzle: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching the kids how to make thin lines, fat dots, and smooth fades.
The practice run: Everyone gets a chance to spray their first lines on a practice surface to get a feel for the pressure and movement.
Creating the masterpiece: Now the real fun begins! Students work on their individual canvases or a large-scale collaborative school mural.
The final flourish: We add 'highlights' and 'lowlights'—the secret tricks that make the graffiti pop off the wall and look professional.
The gallery walk: We finish with a group celebration where kids present their work and we take plenty of photos of their achievements!

Local culture

Genoa is a city of hidden layers, from the narrow 'caruggi' of the old town to the grand palaces of Via Garibaldi. While it is famous for its maritime history, the modern street art scene in Genoa is booming! Projects like 'On the Wall' in the Certosa district have shown our local youngsters how art can revitalise a community. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging students to see their city not just as a museum, but as a living, breathing canvas. 🚢⚓

Fun fact: Did you know that Genoa has some of the oldest 'official' street art in Italy? Even centuries ago, the city's facades were decorated with elaborate 'trompe-l'œil' frescoes that fooled the eye—the ancient ancestors of today's 3D graffiti!
