Is the workshop safe and clean for secondary school students?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure every student stays clean and safe. Our water-based spray paints are low-odour and user-friendly, making them perfect for secondary school students. We lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring that the only thing getting messy is the canvas or wall we are working on. Just wear comfortable shoes and leave the rest to us!

How does this benefit my students' development?

The workshop is a fantastic way to build confidence and teamwork. Students start by learning basic techniques before collaborating on a large-scale mural. This encourages communication, problem-solving, and mutual respect as they 'layer' their work together. It’s a brilliant way to break down social barriers and allow students who might struggle in traditional academic settings to shine in a hands-on, creative environment. It’s high-energy, inclusive, and incredibly rewarding.

Do students need to have any prior drawing or art skills?

No talent? No problem! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our professional artists break down the 'anatomy' of a graffiti tag into simple shapes and steps. We focus on the 'fun' aspect rather than perfection. You'd be amazed at what students can produce with just a little bit of guidance. By the end of the session, even the most hesitant students are usually the ones who don't want to put the spray can down!

Where does the workshop take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at your school (on a wall, boarding, or large plastic sheets) or we can arrange for the group to visit an authentic street art location in Medellin. If you choose to have it on-site, we take full responsibility for protecting the surroundings so no 'accidental' art ends up on the school buildings. We bring everything needed to transform your playground into a temporary studio.

How long is a typical session?

Usually, our secondary school workshops last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction to the history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final group masterpiece. This timeframe fits perfectly into a morning or afternoon school session without feeling rushed. If you have a specific curriculum schedule to stick to, we can definitely adjust the timing to suit your needs.

What kind of designs will the students be making?

We believe in freedom of expression, but we do keep it 'school-appropriate.' We encourage students to brainstorm themes like 'Identity,' 'Community,' or 'Sustainability.' Our artists guide the creative process to ensure the final mural is something the school can be proud of. If students want to create individual pieces on cardboard or canvas to take home, we can also incorporate that into the session so everyone has a personal souvenir.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy look at the history of street art and how it transformed Medellin into a global cultural hub.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the golden rules of using spray cans responsibly.
Mastering the nozzle: Our pros teach the 'can-control' basics—how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients. 🎨
Sketching the vision: Students grab markers to plan their tags or mural elements on paper before moving to the big stage.
First strokes: Time to hit the wall! Students practice their outlines and get comfortable with the pressure of the spray can.
The filling phase: This is where the magic happens as we add vibrant Medellin-inspired colours and 3D effects to the piece.
Sharp outlines: We teach the secret of 'cutting'—using a final outline to make the graffiti pop and look professional.
The final reveal: The group steps back to admire their massive collaborative mural. It’s a proper 'wow' moment for everyone involved! 🏆
Clean up: We pack up all the gear, ensuring the site is spotless and the students are ready to head back to class with huge smiles.

Local culture

Medellin isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing art gallery. From the incredible escalators of Comuna 13 to the hidden alleys of El Poblado, street art is the heartbeat of the 'City of the Eternal Spring.' Our workshops draw inspiration from this local transformation, showing students how art can change communities for the better. 🎨

Fun Medellin Fact: Did you know that Medellin holds an annual 'Graffitour' that attracts thousands of visitors? It’s a testament to how the city used street art to reclaim its identity and foster peace! ✌️

We love weaving these local stories into our sessions, giving students a sense of pride in their city’s unique cultural heritage while they perfect their 'wildstyle' or 'bubble' letters.
