Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely. Safety is our biggest priority during every Adelaide secondary school graffiti workshop. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and use low-odor spray paint whenever possible. We also conduct a full safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring a controlled and secure environment for everyone to explore their creativity.

Where in Adelaide do the workshops take place?

We are fully mobile! Most Adelaide schools prefer us to come to them, where we can set up on a school oval or against a designated wall using our mobile plastic 'canvas' wraps. This keeps logistics simple for teachers. However, if you'd prefer an off-site experience, we can often arrange sessions at legal street art zones around the city. Just let us know what works best for your curriculum!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything needed for a killer street art session. This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' surface itself. We can paint on Large-scale wooden panels, mobile shrink-wrap walls, or even individual canvases that students can take home. You just need to bring your old clothes and plenty of energy!

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the 'I can't draw a stick figure' student to the advanced art prodigy. Our mentors break down the techniques into easy-to-follow steps. We focus on the 'low-pressure' side of art, encouraging students to experiment and find their own style without the fear of making a mistake. It’s all about the process!

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We recommend 2 to 3 hours for a comprehensive secondary school session. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice time, and the creation of a final large-scale piece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a double-period block or a full-day intensive workshop if required.

What is the maximum group size for a school booking?

We are very flexible! We can handle small elective art classes of 15 students or large year-level cohorts of 100+ by bringing in multiple professional artists. By splitting larger groups into rotating stations, everyone gets hands-on time with the spray cans and individual guidance. We scale our team based on your numbers to ensure a high-quality, engaging experience for every single participant.

How does this tie into the South Australian school curriculum?

Street art is a fantastic way to meet Australian Curriculum requirements for Visual Arts. It covers exploring different media, understanding social and cultural contexts of art, and developing technical skills. Beyond the art room, it’s great for Wellbeing programs, building self-esteem and collaboration. Many Adelaide schools use our workshops as a reward day or a practical component of a DIY/Subculture unit.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Adelaide high school? Because it’s more than just painting a wall—it's about building identity and confidence. 💪 Here is why we are the top choice for South Australian educators:

Curriculum Aligned: Our workshops fit perfectly into the Visual Arts and Design syllabus, focusing on technique and social context. 🎤
Expert Mentors: Students learn from real-world street artists who bring authentic stories and professional skills.
Zero Stress for Teachers: We handle everything from the risk assessments to the clean-up. You just show up!
Inclusive Art: Graffiti is a great leveller—it often engages students who might struggle with traditional fine arts. 🏆
Flexible Delivery: We can set up on your oval, in the gym, or against a school wall using mobile panels.
Safety First: We use high-quality safety gear and low-toxicity paints to keep the environment healthy.

Step by step

Intro & Street Art Culture: We kick off with a high-energy talk about the history of graffiti, from New York origins to the vibrant lanes of Adelaide.
Safety & Gear Up: Students get fitted with protective suits, masks, and gloves while learning about the 'rules of the can'.
The Technique Demo: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control'—showing how to manipulate lines, fades, and 'cuts' to create professional effects.
Practice Sessions: Everyone grabs a can! Students start on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and distance needed for clean lines.
Sketching the Concept: We move to the design phase where students plan their tags or pieces on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow.
Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens. Students start blocking out their large-scale designs on the main workshop surface.
Detailing & Highlights: We teach the tricks of the trade—adding 3D effects, 'shines', and clean outlines to make the artwork pop.
The Finishing Touch: Students add their 'tag' or signature to their work, completing a collaborative or individual masterpiece.
Group Photo & Debrief: We celebrate the creativity with a group photo in front of the final mural and a quick chat about the skills learned.

Good to know

Duration: Standard sessions run for 2-3 hours, but we offer full-day 'intensive' options too.
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small VACE classes (10+) to entire year levels (100+). ✨
What's Included: All spray paint, caps, safety masks, gloves, protective suits, and canvas materials.
Location: Totally mobile! We come to your school in Adelaide or surrounding suburbs (like Glenelg or Modbury).
Safety: Full risk assessments provided; all artists hold current Working With Children Checks (WWCC). 🏆

Local culture

Adelaide has a legendary street art scene that often gets overshadowed by its eastern neighbours, but locals know our laneways tell a different story. From the massive murals in the West End to the hidden gems along Frome Street, Adelaide is a sanctuary for creative expression. We bring that specific Radelaide vibe to every workshop, teaching students about the local legends who helped transition graffiti from the shadows into the gallery-grade murals seen today. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Adelaide hosts the 'Wonderwalls' festival in Port Adelaide? It has transformed the historic port into one of the largest outdoor art galleries in Australia! 🔥
