Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our top priority for secondary school students. Every participant is equipped with professional protective gear, including quality nitrile gloves, face masks with filters, and aprons to protect clothing. We use low pressure spray cans which are much easier for teenagers to control. Our artists provide a detailed safety briefing before any paint is sprayed, ensuring everyone understands how to use the equipment responsibly and respectfully.

Do the students need to have prior artistic skills?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed to take students from absolute beginners to creating something they are proud of in just a few hours. Your lead artist will guide the group through basic techniques like can control, outlines, and filling before they start on the main project. Most teenagers find they have a natural flair for it once they get the spray can in their hand.

Do you teach about the history and ethics of graffiti?

Absolutely. While we focus on the fun of street art, we also teach the students about the difference between illegal vandalism and commissioned street art. We discuss the history of the movement and how it has evolved into a respected global art form. It is a fantastic way to encourage respect for the local Tijuana community while providing a healthy creative outlet for their energy.

What should students wear to the workshop?

We recommend that students wear old clothes and sneakers that they do not mind getting a bit of paint on. Although we provide protective aprons and gloves, graffiti can be messy and stray droplets of paint sometimes find their way onto shoes or sleeves. It is best to come prepared so the kids can focus entirely on being creative without worrying about their outfit.

Where does the workshop take place in Tijuana?

We are very flexible with locations. We can host the workshop directly at your secondary school in Tijuana if there is a suitable outdoor space or a well ventilated undercover area. Alternatively, we can help arrange a professional studio space or a legal urban wall location nearby. This flexibility makes it easy to fit the workshop into your existing school schedule or a special field trip.

What is the minimum or maximum group size for a school booking?

We have no strict minimum group size, though our workshops are most cost effective for larger school groups. We can accommodate everything from a single class of 20 students to an entire year group of over 100 people by bringing in multiple professional artists. This ensures every student gets personal attention and guidance throughout the process. We also have backup artists ready to go in case of illness.

How long does a standard workshop session last?

Our typical secondary school sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the completion of a large scale mural or individual pieces. If you have a shorter time slot available or want to turn it into a full day art immersion, we can easily customise the programme to match your specific school timetable.

The experience

Why choose an urban art experience for your teenagers? It is about more than just paint on a wall. It is about giving young people a voice and a sense of accomplishment. Here is why our workshops are a hit in Tijuana:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a large scale piece of art they created themselves gives students a massive sense of pride. 🔥
Team building: Working on a shared mural forces students to communicate and collaborate in ways they never do in a classroom. 🤝
Inclusive art: Graffiti is the great equaliser: you do not need to be a "fine artist" to create something that looks incredible. ✨
Stress relief: The physical nature of spraying paint is a fantastic way for secondary students to decompress and have fun. 🎈

Safety and gear up: Every student gets kitted out with gloves, masks, and protective overalls to keep things clean and safe.
Mastering the can: We start with basic exercises to learn can control, including how to make thin lines, fat dots, and smooth fades.
Sketching the vision: Students work together or individually to sketch out their ideas on paper before moving to the "canvas".
First outlines: The excitement builds as the first layers of paint hit the surface, creating the framework for the masterpiece.
Filling with colour: This is where the magic happens as the students use their creativity to fill in their designs with vibrant hues.
The finishing touches: We teach techniques for highlighting and shadowing to make the graffiti art really pop off the wall.
Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the finished art and pack away all materials.
