Is it safe for primary school children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority! We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are experienced in working with primary school children and maintain a supervised, controlled environment at all times. We ensure the workshop takes place in a well-ventilated area, and we use water-based paints where appropriate to keep things extra safe for the little ones.

Do you provide all the materials and protective gear?

Absolutely! We provide everything required for a fantastic creative session. This includes all the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing (ponchos/overalls), gloves, masks, and the canvases or boards the children will be painting on. You don't need to worry about a thing; just make sure the kids are wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Where does the workshop take place?

We are incredibly flexible. We can bring the workshop directly to your school grounds in Rio de Janeiro if you have a suitable outdoor space or a very well-ventilated hall. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local creative space or legal street art spot. Most schools find it easiest for us to come to them, as it saves on transport costs and keeps the children in a familiar environment.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A typical primary school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes the initial safety briefing, a demonstration by our artist, the design phase where kids sketch their ideas, and of course, the main event—the actual spray painting! We can adjust the timing to fit into your school’s lesson blocks or half-day activity schedules to make it as convenient as possible for your staff.

What happens if the artist is unable to make it?

We have a huge team of backup artists ready to step in. We know how much kids look forward to these days, so we make sure we never cancel. If an instructor falls ill, another professional artist from our network will be there to take their place. Plus, you don't have to pay anything upfront—you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy with the result!

Do the children need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our friendly artists guide the children through basic techniques, from making simple dots and lines to creating cool 'fills' and 'outlines'. The focus is on participation, self-expression, and having a blast. Every child will walk away with a piece of art they are proud of, regardless of their previous artistic experience. It's about the process!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school? It’s more than just art—it’s an experience that builds bridges between students and their local surroundings. Here’s why Rio schools love us:

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a giant, colourful creation come to life gives children a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Engages Every Child: Even students who struggle with traditional art forms find the tactile nature of spray painting exhilarating. ✨
Stress-Free for Teachers: We handle everything from setup to clean-up, letting you enjoy the creative process with your class.
Curriculum Links: Our sessions can be tied to lessons on Brazilian culture, colour theory, or modern history. 🇧🇷
Risk-Free Booking: With our 'pay after' policy and backup artist guarantee, your school's event is in safe hands.
Team Spirit: Collaborative murals teach children how to work together towards a single, spectacular goal. 🤝

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro, explaining the history of street art and the importance of safety. Every child gets fitted with their protective gear.
Mastering the Can: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—showing the kids how to hold the spray can, how much pressure to apply, and how to stay safe.
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, children use paper and pencils to map out their tags and characters, learning about composition and flow.
The First Layer: Under expert guidance, the students apply their background colours, learning how to blend hues for a vibrant sunset or galaxy effect.
Lettering & Shapes: This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to build their names or school-related words using bold shapes.
Filling in: The kids get to 'fill' their letters with patterns, stripes, or dots, making their unique style pop off the surface.
The Final Outline: For a professional finish, our artists help the children add high-contrast outlines to define their work.
The Grand Reveal: We finish with a 'gallery walk' where the class admires each other's work and takes photos with their masterpieces.

Good to know

Duration: Typically 2 hours, but can be tailored from 90 minutes to a full school day.
Group Sizes: We cater to small groups or entire year blocks (up to 30 kids per instructor).
What’s Included: Spray cans, canvases/boards, masks, gloves, and protective ponchos.
Safety First: We use age-appropriate gear and provide a comprehensive safety briefing before every session.
Weather: For Rio’s tropical climate, we recommend shaded outdoor areas or well-ventilated indoor spaces.

Local culture

In Rio de Janeiro, street art is more than just paint on a wall; it’s the heartbeat of the city. From the iconic murals in the Santa Teresa district to the world-famous Escadaria Selarón, Rio is a living gallery that celebrates movement, colour, and culture. Bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school allows children to connect with this local heritage in a hands-on way. They aren't just painting; they are participating in a tradition that makes Rio one of the most visually stunning cities on the planet!

Fun Fact: Did you know that Rio de Janeiro is home to the "Etnias" mural? At the time of its creation, it was the largest graffiti mural in the world, painted to celebrate the 2016 Olympics! 🎨
