Is it safe for primary school kids to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. we use low-odour, water-based spray paints for our primary school workshops whenever possible, and we provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks. Our professional artists are highly experienced in working with younger children, ensuring a controlled, supervised, and completely safe environment where they can focus on being creative without any worries.

What age group is this workshop suitable for?

We typically recommend our workshops for students in Year 3 and above (ages 8+), as they have the motor skills to handle the cans. However, we can adapt the session for younger groups using paint markers or stencils. Whether they are juniors or seniors, we tailor the complexity of the art and the technical instruction to match the developmental stage of the students involved.

Do we need to travel to a studio, or do you come to our school?

The great thing about our Gold Coast workshops is that we come to you! We can set up on your school oval, under a large COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area), or even against a designated brick wall if you want a permanent mural. We bring all the protective floor coverings and boards, so your school grounds stay tidy and paint-free where they should be.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

Standard primary school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group project or individual canvases. We can also stretch the session out into a half-day or full-day 'art intensive' if your school has a specific curriculum goal in mind.

Do we need to provide any materials?

Not at all! We provide everything required for a world-class street art experience. This includes all spray paint cans, a wide variety of nozzle types, protective masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces (like high-quality canvases or large wooden partitions). We even bring drop cloths to protect the ground. The only thing we need from the school is a bit of space and some enthusiastic students!

How does the payment process work?

No upfront payment is required when you book with Graffitifun. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the event is successfully completed. This makes it much easier for school administration and P&C committees to manage the budget. Once the workshop is finished and the kids are buzzing with excitement, we will handle the invoicing.

The experience

Why bring a graffiti workshop to your Gold Coast primary school? It’s more than just spraying paint; it’s about building confidence and seeing the world in a different way! ✨

Boosts creativity: Encourages students who might struggle with traditional art to find their voice.
Promotes teamwork: Our collaborative murals require students to work together to create something massive. 🤝
Safety first: We use safe, low-toxicity materials specifically designed for younger users.
Physical activity: It’s a dynamic, standing-up activity that gets the kids moving and using their motor skills.
Curriculum aligned: Our workshops can be tailored to meet visual arts outcomes for the Australian curriculum. 📚
Community pride: Students feel a huge sense of achievement seeing their work displayed on school grounds.

Step by step

Introduction & safety: Our professional artists meet the students and explain the history of street art and the importance of safety and respect.
Mastering the can: Kids learn how to hold a spray can properly and how different nozzles (caps) create different lines.
Doodling & shapes: Students start with basic exercises like dots, lines, and squares to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
The 'Tag' creation: Every student works on their own unique 'tag' or nickname, learning about letter structure and flow.
Filling & fading: We teach the secrets of 'filling in' and creating smooth colour gradients (fades) for a 3D effect.
Outlining: The kids learn the steady hand required to outline their work, making their art pop off the wall.
The masterpiece: Students work together on a large collaborative mural or finish their individual canvases to take home.
Group photo & cleanup: We wrap up with a celebratory group photo in front of the art and ensure the site is left spotless.
