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 professional artists lead the session with a comprehensive safety briefing, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the spray cans correctly. We choose well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces in Shanghai to ensure a comfortable and secure environment for your secondary school group to get creative without any worries.

Do the students need any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from total beginners to budding Rembrandts. Our professional graffiti artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'fun' in 'Graffitifun,' ensuring every student feels confident and walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about expression and trying something new in a supportive environment.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop in Shanghai usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the history of street art, practice basic can control, sketch their designs, and complete their final masterpiece on a large canvas or wall. We can also tailor the duration to fit your specific school timetable or curriculum needs if you have a tighter schedule.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We’ve got you covered! Graffitifun provides everything required for a successful street art experience. This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (suits, gloves, and masks), and the 'canvases'—which could be professional-grade plastic film, boards, or even a legal wall. You just need to bring the students and plenty of enthusiasm! We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards.

How does the payment process work for school bookings?

We believe in flexibility for schools. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. We operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis because we are confident you’ll love the experience. This takes the stress out of the school's administrative process. Simply request a quote, confirm the date, and focus on getting the students excited for their creative journey.

Where in Shanghai do the workshops actually take place?

Our workshops are highly mobile! We often host sessions at the school’s own sports fields or outdoor courts (using temporary walls). Alternatively, we can help find a suitable public legal space or gallery area in Shanghai. If the weather looks a bit 'Shanghai-standard' (unpredictable!), we have backup plans and indoor-safe options to ensure the creative flow isn't interrupted by a bit of rain.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building and boosting student morale! Our workshops encourage collaboration, as students often work together on large-scale murals. It builds confidence as they master a new, 'cool' medium and allows for unique self-expression outside the traditional classroom setting. Plus, it’s a brilliant way to explore themes like urban culture, social issues, or school identity through a visual and highly engaging lens.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Shanghai secondary school? It's more than just spraying paint on a wall—it's about building bridges and breaking boundaries! 🌉

Boost Confidence: Seeing a giant mural come to life gives students a massive sense of achievement. 💪
Teamwork in Action: Our large-scale projects force students to communicate, plan, and execute as one creative unit.
Stress Relief: There is something incredibly therapeutic and 'flow-state' about the rhythmic motion of spray painting. 🧘
Cultural Connection: Explore the history of a global art movement that is deeply relevant to modern youth culture.
Safe & Professional: With our experienced artists and top-tier gear, you get all the 'edge' of street art with 100% professional safety. 🛡️
Zero Hassle: No upfront payment and we handle everything from setup to the final sweep of the floor.

Step by step

Introduction & Culture: We kick things off with a high-energy intro into the world of graffiti, its history, and how it evolved into the global street art movement we see in Shanghai today.
Safety First: Students get kitted out in their 'breaking bad' style suits, masks, and gloves while our pros explain the golden rules of using spray cans safely.
The Skill Drill: Our artists demonstrate 'can control'—how to create thin lines, fat caps, and smooth fades. Students get their first taste of the paint on a practice surface.
Concept & Sketching: Working in small teams or individually, students brainstorm their design ideas. We help them translate their thoughts into a graffiti-style sketch.
The Outline: Time to hit the big wall! Students start by sketching their design onto the final surface using light-coloured 'ghost' lines.
Fill & Colour: The fun part! Everyone grabs their cans and starts filling in their designs with vibrant colours, learning how to layer and blend.
Cutting & Outlining: To make the art 'pop', we teach the students how to add sharp outlines and highlights—the secret to professional-looking street art.
Detailing & 3D: We show the group how to add shadows and 3D effects to give their tags depth and character.
The Big Reveal: We finish with a group gallery walk, where students can admire each other's work and grab some epic photos of their creation!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours, but we can flex to fit your school's timetable. ⏱️
Group Sizes: We can accommodate anything from a single class of 20 to an entire year group of 100+ students.
Included: All spray cans, canvases (professional foil or boards), protective suits, masks, gloves, and expert instruction.
Safety: We use low-odour paints where possible and provide full PPE. Our artists are first-aid aware and experts in group management. 🛡️
Weather: For outdoor sessions, we always have a rain-plan or can use high-quality indoor-safe techniques.

Local culture

Shanghai is a city where tradition meets a hyper-modern future, and its street art scene is no different. From the iconic (though ever-changing) walls of the M50 Art District to the hidden gems in the Jing'an lanes, 'Hu' is a playground for visual expression. While China has strict rules, the legal street art scene in Shanghai is flourishing, with international festivals and local crews turning the concrete jungle into a colourful gallery.

Fun Fact: Did you know Shanghai's Moganshan Road was once home to a 600-metre long 'Graffiti Wall' that was considered the epicentre of the city's street art for over a decade? While much of it has been redeveloped, the spirit of that wall lives on in the workshops we run today! 🏙️
