Is the graffiti workshop safe for high school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all secondary school students in Mekelle with professional-grade protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray paints are low-odor and used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced at managing large groups of teenagers, ensuring everyone follows the guidelines while still having an incredible, high-energy creative experience. We make sure the environment is as safe as it is fun!

Do students need to have previous art experience?

No prior art skills or drawing experience are required at all! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or someone who has never held a spray can, they will leave the session with a piece of art they can be proud of. We focus on effort, expression, and having a great time together.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our standard workshops for schools in Tigray usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for secondary students as it allows for a solid introduction, a technique practice session, and enough time to complete a large-scale project or individual canvases. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your specific school schedule or extracurricular afternoon blocks if needed.

What materials do we need to provide?

Everything is included! We bring the spray cans in a wide variety of vibrant colors, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the painting surfaces (like large wooden walls or individual canvases). We also bring floor protection to ensure the school grounds stay clean. Your school just needs to provide an outdoor space or a well-ventilated area and, of course, the excited group of students ready to paint!

Can the workshop be tailored to a specific theme?

Yes, we are very flexible! We can focus the workshop on specific school themes, such as 'Unity', 'The Future of Mekelle', or even historical Ethiopian motifs. This makes the workshop not just an art class, but a tool for team-building and school spirit. If you have a specific message or school values you want to highlight, just let us know during the booking process!

What is the cost for a secondary school group?

The cost typically ranges from Br1500 to Br3500 per student. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and whether we are painting a permanent mural on a school wall or working on individual canvases. For large groups, we often offer special school discounts. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your school's specific needs and budget.

What happens if the artist is unavailable?

In the rare event that an artist is unwell or unable to make it, Graffitifun always has professional backup artists on standby. We understand that school schedules are rigid and moving dates is difficult, so we take extra precautions to ensure your workshop goes ahead as planned. Your booking in Mekelle is secure with us, ensuring no disappointment for the students on their big day.

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy kick-off, introducing the history of street art and going over essential safety rules and gear.
Basic Techniques: Students learn the 'anatomy' of a spray can, practicing lines, dots, and basic pressure control on a practice surface.
Sketching the Vision: Under the guidance of our artists, students sketch their designs on paper, focusing on lettering and composition.
First Strokes: Time to hit the wall! Students begin by outlining their main shapes using light-colored paint.
Filling & Color: This is where the magic happens. We teach students how to blend colors and create eye-catching gradients.
Adding the 'Pop': We move on to highlights, 3D effects, and the famous 'power line' to make the artwork stand out.
Character & Details: Students add final details, tags, and creative elements that make the mural uniquely theirs.
The Big Reveal & Gallery Walk: We finish by admiring the collective work, taking group photos, and discussing the creative process.
