The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your high schoolers? Because we turn "I can’t draw" into "Look what I made!" in under two hours. Here’s why Sydney schools love working with us:

  • Expert Mentors: Our artists aren't just talented; they're great with teens, encouraging even the shyest students to get involved. 🎤
  • Curriculum Aligned: We can tailor the session to cover specific art movements or techniques relevant to the NSW syllabus.
  • Total Safety: We provide professional-grade PPE and use low-toxicity paints to keep everyone safe and healthy. 🛡️
  • Zero Stress: From setting up the plastic drop sheets to taking away the empty cans, we handle everything. You just provide the space!
  • Interactive Tools: Students can use our online Tag Creator before we arrive to get their ideas flowing. ✨
  • Reliability: We always have backup artists on standby, so your school event is never cancelled at the last minute. 🏆

Step by step

  1. Intro and street art history: We kick things off with a high-energy look at how graffiti evolved from subway cars to world-class galleries.
  2. Safety briefing: Students get kitted out in protective gear and learn the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely.
  3. First lines and 'can control': Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, use different caps, and manage pressure for thin or thick lines.
  4. Sketching the concept: Students map out their ideas on paper or directly onto the surface, focusing on letter structure and 'flow'.
  5. Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach teenagers how to blend colours and create smooth gradients.
  6. Outlining and details: Students learn the discipline of 'cutting back' to make their artwork pop with sharp edges.
  7. Highlights and 'bits': We add the finishing touches—shine, 3D shadows, and those little details that make a piece look professional.
  8. The big reveal: The class steps back to admire their collective work, often taking photos for the school newsletter or portfolios.
  9. Tidying up: We handle the pack-down, leaving your Sydney school site as clean as we found it.

Local culture

Street art in Sydney

Sydney has a legendary street art history, from the iconic murals of Newtown and Enmore to the legal walls spread across the suburbs. We tap into this local heritage, often referencing famous Sydney spots like the 'I Have A Dream' mural to inspire students. Street art in Sydney isn't just about paint; it's about the city's pulse and diverse identity. 🎨

Fun fact: Did you know Sydney is home to some of the longest-running legal graffiti walls in Australia? These spots have acted as an 'open-air gallery' for decades, evolving every single week! 🇦🇺

By bringing a workshop to your school, you're connecting your students with a movement that has shaped the visual landscape of Sydney for generations. We make sure they understand the difference between artistic expression and vandalism, fostering a respect for the city's public spaces.
