Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality protective masks, gloves, and overalls to every student. Our spray paints are low-odor and used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Furthermore, our professional artists are experts at managing large groups of children, ensuring that everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a blast. We make sure the environment is controlled so the only thing 'wild' is their imagination.

Do the kids need any prior drawing 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 the pressure, and how to draw simple lines. Our artists provide step-by-step guidance, so every child, regardless of their artistic 'talent,' will walk away with a piece of art they are truly proud of. It’s all about the joy of discovery!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demonstration, some practice exercises, and the creation of the final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school schedule or double-period blocks if required.

What materials do we need to provide as a school?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the spray cans in a rainbow of colors, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the 'canvas' (which could be large boards, plastic wrap walls, or even a designated school wall). The only thing the school needs to provide is an outdoor space and a group of excited students ready to get their hands a little colorful.

How does the payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is that we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the bill after the workshop is successfully completed. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before we talk about the final transaction. It makes the booking process stress-free for teachers and administrators.

Can the students work together on one big mural?

Absolutely! We often create large-scale collaborative murals where every student contributes a small part to a giant 'Class of 2024' or 'School Values' piece. It’s a fantastic way to teach teamwork and leave a lasting, beautiful legacy on the school grounds. We’ll discuss these options with you during the planning phase to see what fits your space best.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

While we love the sun in Jijiga, we always have a backup plan. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we can either reschedule or move the workshop to a covered outdoor area. We also have backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your workshop will go ahead as planned. We hate disappointing the kids!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your students in Jijiga? It’s more than just spraying paint—it’s a powerful educational tool that resonates with kids in a way traditional art classes sometimes don't. 💪

Unleash Hidden Talents: Many kids who struggle with pens and paper find they are natural "kings and queens" of the spray can! 👑
Teamwork in Action: Our collaborative murals teach students how to communicate and work together toward a massive visual goal.
Safe & Professional: We handle all the "mess" and safety, leaving teachers free to enjoy the creative process with their students.
Confidence Booster: Seeing a 2-meter tall piece of art they created themselves gives students an incredible sense of achievement. 🏆
Cultural Connection: We bridge the gap between modern global street art and the local creative spirit of the Somali Region.
Stress-Free Booking: No upfront payment and a 100% fun guarantee mean there’s zero risk for your school. 🎤

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture followed by a crucial safety briefing on how to use the gear.
The Tag Creator: Kids get to brainstorm their own 'street name' and sketch a rough draft of their idea on paper first.
Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—teaching the students how distance and finger pressure change the lines.
First Strokes: Students head to the practice wall to get a feel for the spray paint and lose their initial nerves.
Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! The children begin building their main piece, filling in bright colors and bold shapes.
The 'Pop' Factor: We teach them how to add highlights and 3D shadows to make their graffiti jump off the surface.
Clean Outlines: Artists help the students add the final dark outlines to make their work look sharp and professional.
Group Photo & Celebration: Once the paint is dry, we take photos of the kids with their masterpieces to capture the pride on their faces!

Good to know

Duration: Typically 2 hours, but can be customized from 90 minutes to a full day event.
Group Size: Perfectly suited for classes of 15 to 30 students per session; larger groups can be handled in rotations.
What's Included: All spray paint, masks, gloves, protective overalls, and canvases/boards.
Location: We come to you! All we need is an outdoor area or a very well-ventilated space at your school.
Safety: We use age-appropriate equipment and follow strict safety protocols led by experienced professionals. 🛡️

Local culture

Jijiga is a city on the move, known for the stunning Karamara Mountains and its unique position as a cultural melting pot in Ethiopia. Just as the city's markets are filled with vibrant patterns and colors, we believe the schools should be too! Street art in the Somali Region is a growing form of expression, and we are thrilled to bring this modern art form to the next generation of creatives in the city. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Did you know that graffiti-style art actually uses many of the same principles as traditional patterns found in local textiles? It’s all about flow, color balance, and bold statements! We love incorporating local Jijiga energy into our designs. ✨
