Is the spray paint 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 Canberra instructors are seasoned professionals who facilitate a controlled environment, ensuring all spray cans are used correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor areas or high-ceiling indoor spaces to ensure maximum airflow throughout the session. We've got the safety side covered so the kids can focus on being creative!

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding artists. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types. Your Graffitifun artist will guide the students through every step, ensuring that by the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will have created something they’re proud of. It’s all about the process!

Where in Canberra do these workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can come directly to your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at a legal street art location in Canberra to give the kids a taste of the real deal. Most schools prefer the convenience of an on-site workshop, and we bring everything needed to protect your floors and walls while we work.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually runs between 2 and 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 easily tweak the duration to fit into your school’s double-period timetable or a full-day 'immersion' program. Just let us know what works best for your schedule and we will make it happen!

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide the lot! Every booking includes professional-grade spray paint in a huge range of colours, various caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the painting surfaces (like large wooden panels or individual canvases). We even bring plastic sheeting to cover the ground. You just need to provide the students and a space to paint—we handle the messy logistics from start to finish.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Rain doesn't have to stop the fun! In Canberra, we always plan for a backup. If you have an undercover area or a ventilated gym, we can move the workshop there. If the weather looks truly dire and no indoor space is available, we have a flexible rescheduling policy or backup artists to ensure your school event still happens at a later, sunnier date. We’ll work with you to ensure no one misses out.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

We’re pretty flexible with group sizes. We usually suggest a minimum of 10 to 15 students to get a good atmosphere going, but we can handle entire year levels by bringing in multiple professional artists. For very large groups, we rotate students through different 'stations' to ensure everyone gets hands-on time with the spray cans and personal guidance from our team. No one gets left out!

The experience

Why bring a Graffitifun workshop to your Canberra high school? Because it’s the ultimate way to engage students who might struggle with traditional art forms. It’s loud, it’s vibrant, and it’s incredibly rewarding. 🏆💪

Boosts Confidence: Even "non-artsy" kids find success with spray cans, giving them a huge sense of accomplishment.
Encourages Collaboration: Mural projects require students to work together, communicate, and plan as a team.
Safe & Legal: we teach the difference between illegal vandalism and professional street art, promoting respect for the community.
Professional Guidance: Learn from real artists who live and breathe this culture every day.
Hands-on Learning: Perfectly complements the visual arts curriculum with practical, modern techniques.
Total Convenience: We bring the entire studio to you, including all the protective gear and cleanup supplies.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We kick things off with a brief history of street art and a look at different styles to get the creative juices flowing.
The safety lowdown: Students get kitted out in protective gear and learn how to handle the equipment responsibly.
Mastering the 'Can Control': Our pros demonstrate basic techniques like lines, dots, and fades on practice boards.
Sketching the vision: Students work together (or individually) to sketch out their design, focusing on layout and letter structure.
First layers: It’s time to spray! Students apply the background colours and fill in their main shapes.
Sharpening the edges: We teach the 'outline' technique, using thin nozzles to make the artwork pop and look professional.
Adding the flare: This is where we add highlights, 3D effects, and those final details that bring the mural to life.
The big reveal: We step back to admire the collective masterpiece and snap some epic group photos for the school social media.
Tidy up: We pack up all the gear and leave the space exactly as we found it (minus the awesome new art!).

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can customise this to fit your school timetable.
Group size: From small art classes (10+) to entire year levels (we bring extra artists!).
Included: All spray paint, caps, canvases/panels, masks, suits, and gloves.
Location: At your school (indoors or outdoors) or a designated Canberra street art spot.
Safety: Professional artists, high-grade PPE, and fully insured operations.
No Stress: No upfront payment required – you pay after the workshop is done!

Local culture

Canberra might be known for its museums and politics, but the street art scene here is absolutely thriving! From the legal walls in Woden to the hidden gems in the city’s laneways, the ACT has a rich culture of public art that encourages young people to express themselves creatively. Our workshops tap into this local vibe, showing students that art isn't just something found in the National Gallery—it's something they can create right here in their own backyard. 🏛️🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Free Walls" where graffiti is encouraged? It’s one of the few places in Australia where the local government actively supports street art as a way to reduce illegal tagging and beautify urban spaces!

Pricing

Our school workshops are priced per student and include all necessary materials and professional instruction. Prices generally range from A$40 to A$90 per person.

The final cost depends on the group size, the duration of the session, and whether you want individual canvases or a large communal mural. We’re all about making it work for your budget!
