Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our Auckland instructors are professional artists who have years of experience managing large groups. They provide a comprehensive safety briefing before any can is shaken, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment responsibly while having a blast.

What if the students have no artistic experience?

The beauty of street art is that anyone can do it! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from the students who think they can't draw a stick figure to the talented art department regulars. Our artists break down complex techniques into simple steps, so every Kiwi teen walks away feeling proud of what they've created on the canvas.

Do we come to you, or do you come to our school?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop right at your school grounds in Auckland (provided there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space) or we can arrange a session at one of our partner urban locations. We bring all the gear to you, including drop cloths to keep your school property clean and tidy.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard secondary school session usually runs between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for the intro, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit within your specific Auckland school timetable or elective blocks.

What should students wear for the workshop?

We recommend that students wear 'paint-friendly' clothes—even though we provide protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes! Old sneakers and comfortable trousers are best. Everything else, from the premium spray cans to the caps and safety gear, is fully provided by the Graffitifun team.

Can the workshop be tailored to a specific school curriculum?

Definitely. We often work with Auckland teachers to align our workshops with NCEA standards or specific curriculum themes like identity, social commentary, or modern history. Whether it's a team-building exercise for Year 10s or a technical skills workshop for Year 13 art students, we can tailor the content to meet your educational goals.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Auckland secondary school? It’s more than just paint on a wall; it’s about building confidence and community. 🎤

Engage every student: Even the hardest-to-reach teens find their flow when they take control of a spray can.
NCEA relevant: Our sessions can support curriculum goals in visual arts, design, and social studies.
Professional Mentorship: Students learn directly from active, successful Kiwi street artists.
Team Building: Collaborative murals require students to communicate and compromise to create something epic.
Safe & Clean: We handle the mess. Our high-grade gear ensures the only thing that gets painted is the canvas. 🔥
0% Risk: No deposit required, and we never cancel thanks to our large network of backup artists.

Step by step

Introduction & culture: We start with a high-energy intro into the history of street art and how it evolved from the streets of New York to the laneways of Auckland.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with professional masks, gloves, and overalls. Safety is non-negotiable, and we show everyone the right way to handle the cans.
Mastering the can: Before hitting the big wall, students practice basic 'can control'—learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the vision: Students work together or individually to sketch their concepts, focusing on 'tags', 'throw-ups', and letter structure.
Outline & fill: The real fun begins! Students start applying their base colours and filling in their designs under the guidance of our pro artists.
Cutting & detailing: We teach the 'secret' pro techniques, like using highlights and 3D shadows to make the artwork pop off the surface.
The final mural: The students step back to see their collective work—a massive, vibrant street art masterpiece that represents their group identity.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can flex to fit your school's bell schedule.
Group Size: We cater to everything from small art collectives (10+ students) to entire year groups.
Included: Premium low-pressure spray paint, caps, canvases or boards, masks, gloves, and protective suits.
Location: We can come to your Auckland school grounds or host you at a specialized location.
Safety: Full health and safety protocols, including specialized respiratory protection.
No Stress: We have backup artists ready to go, so your workshop is 100% guaranteed to happen. 🏆

Local culture

Auckland is a city that breathes street art. From the iconic murals in Karangahape Road to the hidden gems in the Ponsonby backstreets, Tāmaki Makaurau has a rich history of public expression. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students that the art they see on their morning commute is a legitimate and powerful career path. We focus on the distinction between vandalism and street art, fostering respect for our beautiful city while encouraging creative freedom. 🌿

Fun Fact: Did you know Auckland hosts some of the Southern Hemisphere's most renowned street art festivals? Your students could be the next generation of Kiwi artists featured on a city wall!
