Is graffiti art safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, water-based spray cans that are much friendlier for little lungs and the environment. Every student is provided with protective gloves, masks, and aprons to keep those school uniforms (mostly) clean. Our professional artists are also experts at managing large groups of energetic kids, ensuring everyone follows the safety rules while having a blast.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in Medellin usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a quick history lesson, a safety briefing, some practice runs on cardboard, and then the final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school periods or break times if needed.

Do we need to provide any materials?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides all the spray paint, caps, safety gear, and surfaces to paint on. We can set up temporary wooden walls or large canvases, or even paint a permanent mural on a designated school wall if you have the permissions ready. You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic students!

Does the class need prior art experience?

Not at all. In fact, most kids have never held a spray can before they meet us! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We break down the techniques into simple steps that even the youngest students can follow. By the end of the session, they will be amazed at what they managed to create.

What are the educational benefits of the workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to teach kids about teamwork, respect for public space, and self-expression. It helps build fine motor skills and boosts confidence. We also include a section on the difference between 'street art' and 'vandalism', helping children understand the importance of legal, creative expression in their community.

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We recommend a minimum group size of 10 students to get a good atmosphere going, but we can handle much larger groups too! For very large year groups, we often rotate classes or bring in extra artists to ensure every child gets enough one-on-one guidance and hands-on painting time.

What happens if it rains on the day?

If the workshop is outdoors, we always have a backup plan. Our artists can move the session to a covered playground or indoor hall using low-odour paints and protective floor coverings. Plus, we have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned, regardless of any last-minute hitches.

Step by step

Intro and History: We start with a high-energy chat about the history of street art and how it turned Medellin into a global art capital.
Design Brainstorm: Kids get to sketch out their ideas on paper, choosing their 'tag' name or a fun character they want to bring to life.
Safety First: Everyone gets suited up in masks, gloves, and aprons, followed by a briefing on how to handle the spray cans responsibly.
The First Line: Under our artists' guidance, students learn the basics of 'can control'—how to make thick lines, thin lines, and dots.
Background Magic: We start the main artwork by layering colours and creating cool 'fades' and 'bursts' for the background.
The Big Outline: This is where the magic happens! We help the students add the bold outlines that make their graffiti pop off the surface.
Details and Highlights: We add those final touches, like 3D shadows and white sparkles, to give the work a professional finish.
Photo Op: The class poses with their masterpiece for a group photo—a brilliant memento for the school newsletter!
Clean Up: We ensure the area is left spotless, leaving nothing behind but the incredible new artwork.
