Step by step

  1. Intro and safety briefing: We kick off by meeting the students and explaining the history of street art, followed by a thorough safety talk on how to use the equipment responsibly.
  2. Mastering the can: Students learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, including how different caps create different effects and how to control paint flow.
  3. The first line: We move to the practice wall where kids get to spray their very first lines, dots, and shapes to get a feel for the medium.
  4. Sketching the vision: Before hitting the final surface, students sketch out their designs on paper, focusing on 'tags' or 'pieces' (the graffiti word for a masterpiece!).
  5. Background techniques: We teach the kids how to create cool gradients, 'fades', and splash effects to make their backgrounds pop.
  6. The big creation: This is the main event! Students apply their skills to their final canvas or mural, guided step-by-step by our pro artists.
  7. Outlining and details: We show them the secret to making art stand out—adding sharp outlines and 'highlights' for that professional 3D look.
  8. The big reveal: We finish with a 'gallery walk' where students can admire each other's work and take photos with their creations.
  9. Clean up: We ensure the area is left spotless, leaving only the amazing new artwork behind!

Local culture

Street art in Newcastle

Newcastle is a city that breathes creativity! From the massive murals decorating the walls of Wickham to the hidden gems in the laneways of Cooks Hill, 'Newy' has transformed into a world-class street art destination. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing primary schoolers that art isn't just something found in a museum—it's part of the very fabric of their city. We often take inspiration from Newcastle's iconic coastline and industrial roots to help kids connect their art to their home turf.

Fun Fact: Newcastle hosts 'The Big Picture Fest', an annual event where international artists fly in to paint giant walls across the city. Your students could be the next generation of artists featured on that line-up! 🎨
