Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct our primary school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas in Melo. Our professional artists are expert instructors who ensure every child follows safety protocols while having the time of their lives being creative.

What if the students have zero art experience?

The beauty of street art is that there are no mistakes, only happy accidents! Our Melo-based workshops are designed specifically for beginners. We guide students through simple techniques, from drawing basic shapes to filling in colours. By the end of the session, even the children who claim they 'can't draw' will be incredibly proud of the mural they helped create.

What should the children wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'old clothes' that you wouldn't mind getting a little splash of colour on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, graffiti is a hands-on, energetic activity, and kids love to get stuck in! We suggest wearing comfortable trainers as well, as we will be on our feet moving around the canvas for about two hours.

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard primary school workshop in Melo usually lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of listening to the artist's history, learning the technical skills, and having plenty of 'can-in-hand' time to finish the masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school timetable or half-day events.

Can you handle large groups or multiple classes?

Yes! We can facilitate workshops for small groups or entire year groups. For larger primary schools in the Cerro Largo region, we often send multiple professional artists and set up several stations so every student gets a hands-on experience without having to wait. Just let us know your student count and we will handle the logistical planning for you.

What do we need to provide as a school?

We bring everything! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray cans (in a rainbow of vibrant colours), protective gear, masking tape, and the 'canvases'—which are usually large plastic film walls we set up between poles. This means we leave no permanent marks on your school property! We also provide all the inspiration and expert guidance needed to make the day a success.

Outlining and details: Our artists show the children how to add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to give the art a 3D effect.
The big reveal: We take a step back to admire the collective mural. It’s always a proud moment for the young creators!

Local culture

Melo is a city with a rich spirit of tradition and community, but there's a growing appetite for modern, urban expression right here in the heart of Cerro Largo. By bringing street art into your primary school, you're connecting your students with a global movement that celebrates identity and public space. We love working in the local Melo area, where the friendly atmosphere makes every workshop feel like a neighbourhood event.

Fun Fact: Melo is famous for its vibrant carnival, one of the most colourful in all of Uruguay! Our graffiti workshops channel that same energy, using a palette of bright colours to bring school walls (temporary ones, of course!) to life.

While we also work in Montevideo and Salto, there is something truly special about the creative energy of the kids here in Melo.
