Is graffiti art safe for primary school children in Hawassa?

Absolutely! We use special low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control. Our professional artists provide constant supervision, and every student is equipped with protective gear, including gloves and masks. Safety is our number one priority, ensuring the kids can focus entirely on their creativity without any risks. We also use water-based paints upon request for indoor school environments.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the introductory talk about street art history, safety briefings, practicing techniques, and the final creation of the masterpiece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into your school's specific timetable or split the sessions between different classes throughout the day to ensure everyone gets a turn.

What do we need to provide as a school?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides premium spray cans, respiratory masks, gloves, protective suits, and the wooden panels or plastic film we paint on. The school only needs to provide an outdoor space (like a playground or courtyard) and enthusiastic students. Our goal is to make the process completely stress-free for teachers and administrators by handling all the logistics ourselves.

Do the students need to have prior drawing skills?

Not at all. Graffiti is an exceptionally inclusive art form because it doesn't require traditional 'fine art' skills like oil painting or sketching. We teach the kids how to use the can to create shapes, gradients, and outlines. Many students who struggle with academic subjects find a sense of pride and accomplishment in graffiti, making it a fantastic confidence-builder for every child.

Can the children paint a permanent mural on our school walls?

While we often paint on large mobile walls or cling film stretched between poles, we can also create a permanent mural on a school wall if you have permission! This is a great way to brighten up the campus and give the students a lasting sense of ownership over their environment. If you prefer, kids can also work on individual canvases to take home.

Do you offer workshops in other cities besides Hawassa?

Currently, we offer services in Hawassa, Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, and Adama. We are excited to bring our colorful workshops to schools all across Ethiopia. If you are located outside these main hubs, just reach out to us, and we will see how we can bring our team of professional artists to your specific location.

Whether the kids want to paint indigenous birds found at the lake or use colors inspired by the vibrant Ethiopian flag, we encourage them to celebrate their heritage through modern street art.
