Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our top priority for every workshop. We use water based spray paints whenever possible for younger students, which have fewer fumes. Every child is provided with high quality protective gear, including gloves and masks. Our professional artists are experts at managing groups of primary school children, ensuring everyone follows the safety guidelines while having a brilliant time. We make sure the environment is controlled and well ventilated at all times.

Do the children need any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors will guide the children through every single step, from holding the can correctly to mastering basic shapes. We focus on the joy of creation rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, even the kids who think they are not 'arty' will be amazed at what they have managed to create on the wall.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping 7 to 11 year olds fully engaged without them getting tired. We start with a brief history of street art and safety demo, move on to practicing techniques, and finish with a big collaborative mural. We can adjust the duration to fit your specific school timetable if required.

What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?

We have worked with everything from small groups of 10 to full year groups of 60 or more. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our professional artist mentors and set up multiple spray stations. This ensures every child gets plenty of hands on time with the cans and individual attention to help them develop their skills. We always maintain a safe and manageable student to artist ratio.

What do we need to provide as a school?

We provide everything required for a successful day of art. This includes all the spray paint, protective gloves, masks, and various nozzles. We also bring the mobile graffiti walls or canvases that the children will paint on. The only thing we ask the school to provide is an outdoor or well ventilated space and for the kids to wear old clothes just in case things get a bit messy!

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

While we usually try to find a covered outdoor area to keep the session going, your booking is safe with us. We have a large team of backup artists to ensure your event always goes ahead. If the weather is truly terrible, we can often pivot to indoor activities using markers and specialized paint pens, or we can discuss rescheduling to a better day. We are very flexible!

Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?

Absolutely! One of the best things about graffiti art is how well it translates to different themes. Whether you are studying the Mayans, environmental protection, or school values like kindness and teamwork, we can tailor the mural design to reflect your current curriculum. Just let us know your theme when you book, and our artists will help the children bring that vision to life.

The experience

Choosing a graffiti workshop for your primary school is a fantastic way to engage students who might struggle with traditional art forms. It is physical, it is bold, and it is instantly rewarding! 🎨

Boosts confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful mural they helped create gives children a massive sense of pride. ✨
Encourages teamwork: Our collaborative murals require students to communicate and work together towards a single goal. 💪
Develops motor skills: Controlling a spray can is a unique way to help children refine their hand eye coordination. 🎯
Safe and professional: We use high quality gear and professional artist mentors who love teaching kids. 🎤
Curriculum links: We can theme our workshops around history, social studies, or even maths and shapes! 📚
No stress for teachers: We bring all the equipment and manage the entire session from start to finish. 🎉

Step by step

Introduction and safety talk: Our artists arrive and set up the mobile walls. We begin with a fun chat about the history of street art and go over the safety rules.
Mastering the nozzles: Every child gets their own gear. We show them how the different 'caps' or nozzles change the spray from a thin line to a big cloud.
First lines and shapes: Moving on to the wall, students practice making basic shapes, dots, and lines to get a feel for the pressure of the spray can.
Learning the letters: We teach the kids how to build 'throw up' style letters, focusing on bold outlines and simple overlaps that look professional.
Fill-in techniques: The children learn how to create smooth gradients and solid blocks of colour inside their shapes without causing drips.
Adding the details: This is where the magic happens! We show them how to add highlights, shadows, and cool effects like 'shines' to make their art pop.
The big collaborative mural: The whole class works together on a massive piece of art that combines all their new skills into one masterpiece.
The finishing touches: Our pro artists help tidy up the outlines to ensure the final result looks incredible and worthy of a photo op.
Clean up and gallery walk: We pack up the gear and the students take a tour of their work, celebrating their creative achievements together.

Local culture

Mexico City is a living gallery, where every corner from the murals of Diego Rivera to the modern stencils in Condesa tells a story. Street art is deeply woven into the fabric of this city, making it the perfect place for young students to explore their own artistic voices. Our workshops celebrate this local heritage by showing kids that art is not just something you see in a museum: it is something you can create right in your own community. 🎨

Fun Fact: Mexico City is home to thousands of official and unofficial murals, and the city government often sponsors street artists to decorate public spaces to celebrate Mexican culture and history! 🏆

Every school is different, and we tailor our workshops to fit your specific needs and budget. Whether you want a one off session for a single class or a full week of art for the whole school, we can make it happen. 💸
