Do the students need to have previous drawing or art experience?

No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding secondary school students of all ability levels. We start with simple lines and shapes, building up to complex letters and characters. The workshop is designed to boost confidence and show students that everyone has a creative spark inside them. It’s all about the experience and having a go!

Is the spray paint safe for school-aged children to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are selected for their safety standards, and our workshops always take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Our instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring everyone follows the 'spray rules' while having an amazing time creating their masterpieces.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

A standard workshop for secondary schools in Cartagena typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group or individual project. We can also adjust the timing to fit specifically within your school's timetable or activity day schedule.

What materials do you provide for the school workshop?

We handle everything so you don't have to! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvas'—which could be large boards, plastic film stretched between poles, or even a dedicated wall. We also bring caps, sketches, and cleaning supplies. You just need to bring the students and plenty of enthusiasm!

Can we create a permanent mural on our school grounds?

Absolutely! We love it when schools want to create something permanent. If your school has a wall that needs a makeover, we can facilitate a 'mural day' where students collaborate on a large-scale piece of art. If you don't have a wall, we use mobile wooden panels or high-quality canvases that the students can take home or display in the school corridors.

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

Weather in Cartagena can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B! We can move the session under a large canopy, or if the rain is heavy, we can pivot to an indoor 'street art' session using water-based paint markers and design workshops. However, we have backup artists and flexible scheduling to ensure your workshop goes ahead as smoothly as possible.

Do we need to pay in advance for the school booking?

We believe in the quality of our workshops, which is why we offer a 100% satisfaction focus. We don't require any payment upfront—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the results. This allows schools to book with total peace of mind, knowing that we are committed to delivering an exceptional educational and creative experience.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your secondary school students? It’s more than just painting; it's a unique educational tool that resonates with young people in a way traditional subjects often don't. ✨

Boosts confidence: Watch as students who "can't draw" realise they can create something massive and impressive.
Team building: Collaborative murals require communication, compromise, and collective effort. 🤝
Stress relief: The physical act of spray painting is incredibly tactile and acts as a fantastic creative outlet.
Cultural connection: Connect students to Cartagena's world-famous urban art scene and local history.
Inclusion: Graffiti is the ultimate equaliser—it's accessible, non-judgmental, and focuses on individual style.
Professional kit: We use the same brands of paint used by the world's top street artists for an authentic experience. 🏆

Step by step

Intro and history: We kick things off with a cool look at graffiti culture and how it evolved into modern street art.
Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in masks and suits while we explain how to use the cans responsibly.
The first spray: Under expert guidance, everyone learns basic techniques like 'lining', 'filling', and 'fading'.
Sketching ideas: Students grab paper and markers to plan their tags or mural designs before hitting the wall.
Masterpiece creation: The main event! Students use their new skills to bring their vibrant designs to life.
Finishing touches: Our artists help students add those professional 'highlights' and 'outlines' that make the art pop.
Group photo and wrap-up: We celebrate the crew's hard work with a big group photo in front of the finished artwork!

Local culture

Cartagena is a city bursting with colour, from the colonial yellows of the Old Town to the radical street art of Getsemaní. Our workshops draw inspiration from the local 'muralistas' who have transformed the city's alleyways into an open-air museum. We encourage students to look at the vibrant Caribbean culture around them—the Palenqueras, the tropical flora, and the maritime history—and translate that energy into their own graffiti designs. 🌊

Fun Fact: The Getsemaní neighbourhood was once a gritty area, but it was saved and revitalised by local artists and residents who used graffiti to tell their stories and reclaim their streets!

Pricing

Our workshop pricing is flexible to suit different school budgets and group sizes in Cartagena:

Estimated price: $100,000 - $250,000 COP per student.
No Upfront Payment: You only pay after the workshop is finished!

Whether you're looking for a one-off taster session or a full-day mural project, we’ll create a package that works for you. 💸
