Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding art stars. Our professional graffiti artists guide students through every step, starting with basic lines and building up to complex pieces. The goal is to build confidence and have a blast while learning a new medium. By the end of the session, even the most hesitant students are usually amazed at what they've created.🎨

Is it safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, and only use professional-grade spray paint. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We manage the environment carefully to ensure a controlled, safe, and positive experience for both students and staff. You can focus on the creativity while we handle the safety logistics.💪

Can we customize the theme of the workshop?

Definitely! We can tailor the workshop to focus on specific themes like New Zealand identity, local Dunedin history, environmental issues, or school values. This makes the workshop a great cross-curricular tool for Social Studies, History, or English. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll brainstorm a way to weave those themes into the graffiti art session.✨

Where does the workshop take place?

The best part about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We can come to your school and set up on the sports field or a concrete area, or we can arrange a session at a cool local spot in Dunedin. We use mobile walls or large canvases, so there’s no permanent 'vandalism' involved—unless you specifically want us to paint a legal school mural with the students!🔥

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the intro, safety brief, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, we can definitely adjust the duration to fit into a double period or a dedicated 'arts day' schedule. We’re all about making it work for you.⏱️

How do we handle the payment?

We keep it simple and stress-free for teachers. We don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you total peace of mind and makes the admin side of things much easier for your school’s finance department. We’re here to make the process as smooth as possible.💰

What do the students need to bring?

We recommend students wear old clothes that they don't mind getting a little paint on (even though we provide protective gear). Comfortable shoes are a must as well. Other than that, just bring some enthusiasm! We provide all the professional materials, including spray cans, nozzles, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. We’ve got the gear covered.👟

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Dunedin secondary school? Because it’s more than just painting—it’s about building confidence, learning a unique skill, and seeing the world through a different lens. Here’s why it works:

Engage the 'Reachable': Street art often speaks to students who might feel disconnected from traditional fine arts, giving them a voice and a style they can relate to. 🎤
True Professional Guidance: Our artists aren't just hobbyists; they are career professionals who share real-world tips and industry secrets. 🔥
Stress-Free for Teachers: We handle everything—from the gear and safety to the site setup and pack-down. You just bring the students! 🏆
Collaborative Spirit: Our workshops often focus on a large collaborative piece, teaching students how to work together and contribute to a bigger vision. 🤝
Guaranteed fun: We’ve never seen a bored student at a Graffitifun session. The energy is high, the music is pumping, and the creativity is flowing! 🎉
No-Risk Booking: With no upfront payment and our 100% satisfaction focus, you can book with complete confidence. 💪

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We kick things off with a brief look at the history of street art and how it evolved from the streets to the world's biggest galleries.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out with professional masks and gloves. Our artists demonstrate how to use the equipment safely and responsibly.
Mastering the can: We teach the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and swap nozzles for different effects like 'fats' and 'skinnies'.
Sketching the vision: Students brainstorm their designs, focusing on 'tags', 'throws', and the flow of their letters on paper before hitting the wall.
Outline & fill: The local Dunedin vibe starts coming alive as students spray their outlines and fill them with vibrant, chosen colours.
Highlighting & 3D: We show the pros' secrets for making art pop off the wall using highlights, shadows, and 3D effects.
The finishing touches: Students add 'bits', 'bubbles', and clean outlines to sharpen their work into a professional-looking masterpiece.
The big reveal: We take a step back as a group to admire the collective work, discuss the techniques used, and snap some epic photos.
Clean up: We handle the pack-down and ensure the site is left spotless, leaving only the incredible memories (and maybe some canvas art!) behind.

Local culture

Dunedin is a city that wears its heart on its walls. From the incredible large-scale murals in the heritage precinct to the hidden gems tucked away in the Vogel Street area, the 'Edinburgh of the South' has one of the most vibrant street art scenes in New Zealand. Our workshops tap into this local legacy, showing students how they can contribute to a culture that defines their city's modern identity.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to a dedicated 'Street Art Trail' featuring over 30 world-class murals by local and international artists? It’s basically one giant outdoor art gallery!

By bringing this global art form into a Dunedin secondary school context, we help students connect with their surroundings in a whole new way. We don't just teach them to spray; we teach them to see the potential in every blank surface and the power of public expression. 🎨
