Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, water-based spray paints whenever possible for younger children, and we provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and ponchos. Our professional instructors are experienced in working with primary-aged kids and maintain a strictly supervised, controlled environment throughout the entire workshop. You can relax knowing the pupils are in safe hands while they explore their creative side.

Where in Kota Kinabalu do the workshops take place?

We are completely flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Kota Kinabalu—either against a suitable wall (using protective plastic) or on large mobile wooden panels we bring along. If you’d prefer an off-site experience, we can also arrange a session at a local street art hotspot. Most schools find the playground or a covered outdoor area works best for easy supervision.

How long does a typical school workshop session last?

Our primary school workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping young minds engaged without losing their focus. We start with a brief history and safety talk, move into technique practice, and spend the final hour creating the main masterpiece. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or morning assembly blocks.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our friendly artist-educators guide the children through every step, from how to hold the can to creating cool effects like 'fades' and 'outlines'. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring every child feels like a pro by the time they finish their first tag. It’s all about boosting confidence through creativity.

What materials do we need to provide?

Everything is included in the package! We provide all the professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing (aprons/ponchos, gloves, and masks), and the 'canvas' (whether that’s a wall, boards, or individual canvases for the kids to take home). The only thing we ask the school to provide is an outdoor or well-ventilated space and plenty of enthusiastic mini-artists ready to get messy!

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for teaching teamwork, respecting public spaces, and building fine motor skills. It encourages self-expression for children who might find traditional 'pen and paper' art frustrating. Plus, it’s a brilliant way to brighten up the school environment! Our workshops can even be tailored to specific curriculum topics, such as local Sabahan history, environmental conservation, or school values like 'kindness' and 'respect'.

How many students can participate at once?

We recommend a maximum of 20-25 pupils per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough 'can time' and personal guidance. For larger year groups or the whole school, we can easily send multiple artists or rotate classes throughout the day. This ensures the environment remains safe, organised, and fun for everyone involved. Just let us know your student count and we will handle the logistics!

Boosts creative confidence: Even kids who struggle with traditional drawing find success with the bold, forgiving nature of spray paint. 🚀
Promotes teamwork: Creating a large-scale mural requires communication, sharing space, and working towards a common goal.

Step by step

The introduction: Our expert artists arrive at your Kota Kinabalu school and kick things off with a high-energy intro to street art history and safety rules.
Sketching ideas: Before picking up a can, pupils grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their designs and understand the 'flow' of graffiti letters.
Cap control 101: We teach the kids how to handle the spray cans, explaining the different 'caps' and how to control pressure for thin or thick lines.
Practice run: Students head to the practice wall to get a feel for the paint, learning how to make dots, lines, and basic shapes in a low-pressure environment.
The big project: Working together or on individual panels, the children begin filling in the main design, choosing their favourite vibrant colours.
Adding the details: This is where the magic happens! We help the kids add highlights, shadows, and those iconic 'bold' outlines to make their art pop.
Final touches & cleanup: Once the masterpiece is complete, we help with any finishing touches and ensure the site is left clean and tidy.
Photos & celebration: We wrap up with a group photo in front of the new artwork—a perfect memory for the school newsletter!

Local culture

Kota Kinabalu is a city bursting with natural beauty, but its urban art scene is growing just as fast! From the vibrant murals at Pillars of Sabah to the hidden gems in the city centre, KK is becoming a hub for creative expression. We love incorporating local North Borneo vibes into our workshops—think hornbill motifs, Rafflesia patterns, or Mount Kinabalu silhouettes mixed with classic graffiti lettering.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "Pillars of Sabah" project in downtown KK turned a colonial building ruin into one of the most famous street art galleries in Malaysia? It's proof that street art can bring history back to life! 🌿 🎨

By bringing our workshop to your primary school, you’re connecting your students with a modern Malaysian art movement that celebrates both heritage and future-thinking creativity.
