Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are expert facilitators who supervise the kids closely, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We only use low-pressure cans that are easier for smaller hands to control, making it a safe and fun environment for everyone involved.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists start with the absolute basics, teaching kids how to hold a can and create simple lines before moving on to more complex shapes. It's all about building confidence and having a go. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece the students can create by the end of the session, even if they've never picked up a brush before.

Where in Melbourne do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Melbourne—outdoors on a basketball court or a paved area is usually best for ventilation. If you'd prefer to get the kids out of the classroom, we can also arrange sessions at various legal street art locations or studios around the city. We bring all the gear to you, so the logistics are easy-peasy!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our 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 final creation of a group mural or individual canvases. We can always tweak the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots if needed. Just let us know what works for your schedule!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a killer street art session! This includes a wide range of colourful spray paints, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and the 'canvas'—whether that’s a professional-grade board, a school wall, or individual canvases for the kids to take home. The only thing we ask the school to provide is a bit of outdoor space and enthusiastic students ready to get creative!

What are the educational benefits for the students?

Graffiti is a brilliant way to teach primary students about teamwork, respect for public property, and creative self-expression. It aligns well with the Victorian Curriculum's Visual Arts goals. By engaging in a 'legal' street art experience, kids learn the difference between vandalism and art, while also developing fine motor skills and spatial awareness. Plus, it’s a massive confidence booster for students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

No stress at all! We have a solid team of backup artists in Melbourne to ensure your workshop goes ahead as planned, even if an instructor falls ill. If the weather turns 'classic Melbourne' with heavy rain, we can either move the session to a sheltered outdoor area or reschedule to a better day. We are all about making it a smooth, hassle-free experience for the teachers.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Melbourne primary school? It’s more than just painting—it’s an explosion of confidence and community spirit! Here’s why schools love us:

Professional Local Artists: Work with real-deal Melbourne street artists who are passionate about mentoring the next generation. 🎤
Curriculum Aligned: Our sessions can be tailored to meet Visual Arts and Personal & Social Capability outcomes.
Zero Stress for Teachers: We bring everything, set it all up, and take the mess with us when we go. Easy! 🏆
Inclusion First: Street art is a 'leveller'—students who may not excel in traditional art often find their voice with a spray can.
No Upfront Payment: We trust our schools; you only pay after the workshop is complete and everyone is stoked.
Safe & Controlled: We use specific techniques and gear to ensure the environment is 100% safe for primary-aged kids. 🔥

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro about street art culture and a full safety briefing on how to use the gear correctly. 🛡️
Concept Design: Students brainstorm themes, often linked to school values like 'kindness' or 'community', and sketch out their initial ideas.
Can Control 101: Our artists demonstrate 'the flick of the wrist'—teaching kids how distance and pressure change the spray lines.
Lettering Basics: We move on to 'tags' and 'throwies', helping students turn their names or words into stylish graffiti fonts. 🎨
Filling & Shading: The kids learn how to fill in their sketches with vibrant colours and add '3D' effects and highlights for depth.
The Masterpiece: Working together or individually, the students apply their new skills to the final wall or canvas.
Outlining: The final touch! We teach the kids how to 'clean up' their work with a sharp outline to make the art pop. 💥
Group Photo & Celebration: We finish with a celebration of the creativity displayed and a chance for the kids to show off their work to teachers.

Local culture

Melbourne is internationally recognised as one of the world's great street art capitals. From the iconic cobblestones of Hosier Lane to the hidden gems in Fitzroy and Collingwood, our city breathes creativity. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing primary students that they are part of a world-class artistic community. We don't just teach art; we teach the history of the Melbourne 'laneway' culture that makes our city so unique. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Melbourne’s most famous street art spots are legally protected because they are considered so culturally significant? It’s a true outdoor gallery! 🖼️
