Do the kids need any previous art experience?

No experience is needed at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at teaching beginners. We start with the basics of nozzle control and spray techniques before moving on to more complex designs. By the end of the school holiday workshop in Melo, your child will have created a piece of art they can be truly proud of, regardless of their starting skill level. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the workshop safe for children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure everyone stays clean and safe. Our spray paints are selected for quality, and our instructors provide thorough safety briefings before anyone touches a can. We always work in well-ventilated areas or outdoors, and our backup artist policy ensures that a professional is always on hand to keep the session running smoothly and safely.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard school holiday session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques on practice walls, and then collaborate on a final masterpiece. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping kids engaged and excited without them getting overtired. We can also adjust the duration based on your specific group's needs or schedule!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional spray cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective clothing (ponchos/overalls, gloves, and masks), and the surfaces to paint on. We can set up temporary plastic walls or provide individual canvases. All you need to bring is some old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Melo has some beautiful sunny days, but if the weather doesn't cooperate, we have you covered. We can often move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation and protective flooring. Because we have a large team and flexible setups, we'll work closely with you to ensure the holiday fun doesn't get washed out. Your creative experience is guaranteed to happen!

Can the kids take their artwork home?

Absolutely! While we love creating large-scale collaborative murals, we can also arrange for kids to paint their own individual canvases or boards. This is a popular option for school holiday programmes because it means every participant gets to take home their own unique piece of street art to hang on their bedroom wall. Just let us know your preference when you book!

Step by step

Intro and safety: We kick things off with a high-energy introduction to the world of graffiti and a quick safety briefing to ensure everyone uses the gear correctly. 🔥
The art of the tag: Every artist needs a name! Students learn the history of 'tagging' and design their own unique signature.
Nozzle knowledge: We demonstrate how different 'caps' or nozzles create different line widths and effects, from skinny lines to fat flares.
Practice session: Before the main event, kids head to the practice wall to get a feel for the pressure of the spray can and master basic shapes.
Sketching the mural: The group brainstorms a theme and we help them sketch out a large-scale design on the main surface.
Filling in: This is where the colour happens! Kids work together to fill in the letters and characters with vibrant shades. ✨
Outlining and details: Our pros show them how to add sharp outlines, highlights, and 3D effects to make the artwork 'pop' off the wall.
The big reveal: We take a final look at the masterpiece! It’s the perfect moment for group photos and celebrating the hard work. 🏆

Good to know

Duration: Usually 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can customise the timing to suit your holiday programme schedule.

All-inclusive: We provide professional spray paint, nozzles, gloves, masks, protective suits, and the painting surface.
Safety first: All workshops are led by experienced artists with a focus on a safe, supervised environment.

Local culture

Melo is a city with a deep appreciation for culture and tradition, but it’s also a place where modern creativity is starting to bloom. From the historic buildings near Plaza Constitución to the lively atmosphere of the local festivals, there is inspiration everywhere. Our graffiti school holiday workshops in Melo tap into this local spirit, encouraging the younger generation to add their own contemporary voices to the city’s artistic landscape. Street art in Uruguay is a respected form of expression, and we’re proud to bring that professional urban edge to the Cerro Largo Department.

Fun Fact: Melo is famous for its vibrant carnival celebrations! We love to channel that same energy and explosion of colour into our graffiti murals. 🎨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art! Because every group is different, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Prices depend on your group size, the location, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant shared mural. We focus on providing a premium experience that fits your budget.

No upfront payment required! You only pay after the workshop is complete, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience.
