Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our Art Teacher Training in Chania is designed for all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics of spray can control and safety. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead a class, not to turn you into Banksy overnight. We focus on the pedagogy of street art, ensuring you can guide your students through the process safely and Creatively.

How long does the professional development session last?

The workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. During this time, we cover the history of the movement, technical spray skills, and health and safety protocols. We also dedicate time to lesson planning and how to integrate these skills into your specific curriculum. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy session designed to give you maximum value and hands-on practice in a single afternoon.

What materials are included in the teacher training package?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and overall suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and educational hand-outs you can take back to your school. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your creative energy!

Is spray painting safe to do with my students back at school?

Safety is our number one priority, especially in an educational setting. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory protection. During the training, we specifically teach you how to set up a safe outdoor "spray zone" at your school, how to manage group dynamics with paint, and how to ensure proper ventilation and skin protection for your students.

Can you hold the training session at our school?

Yes, we offer flexible locations! While we love hosting teachers at our vibrant locations in Chania, we can also bring the mobile graffiti kit to your school or community centre. This is often helpful as it allows us to assess your specific space and show you exactly where and how you can set up a permanent or temporary graffiti wall on your own premises.

What specific skills will I be able to teach my students after this?

Once you complete the training, you'll be able to teach students the basics of letter construction, colour blending, and stencil work. More importantly, you'll have the framework to lead a collaborative mural project. These skills are fantastic for boosting student engagement, teaching modern art history, and providing an inclusive creative outlet for kids who might struggle with traditional fine art methods.

What is the payment process for schools and teachers?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That’s why we don't require any payment upfront. You can book your slot, get everything organised with your administration, and then pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the professional development you received before any money changes hands. It's our 'fun guaranteed' promise to you!

The experience

Why choose our street art training for your next professional development day? It's simple: we combine technical mastery with real-world classroom application. Here’s why teachers in Chania love working with us:

🔥 Instant engagement: Graffiti is a "hook" that captures even the most disengaged students.
🎨 Hands-on mastery: You don't just watch; you paint. You'll leave with the muscle memory to demonstrate techniques with confidence.
🛡️ Safety first: We teach you the exact protocols to keep your classroom safe and your school's walls (mostly) clean.
📚 Curriculum ready: We provide lesson plan templates and digital resources that satisfy modern art education standards.
🇬🇷 Local expertise: Our artists are part of the Greek street art scene and understand how to navigate the local culture.
🏗️ Zero stress: From providing all the gear to our "pay later" policy, we make the logistics effortless.

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick look at the history of street art and a vital safety rundown on using aerosol paints.
Mastering the nozzles: You’ll learn about different 'caps' and how they change the spray pattern from razor-thin lines to wide flares.
Can control basics: Practice your stance and arm movement to create clean lines, dots, and smooth fills without those pesky drips.
Lettering & style: Dive into the world of 'tags' and 'throw-ups', learning how to build stylish letters using simple geometric blocks.
Colour theory in action: Learn how to blend colours directly on the wall to create 3D effects, shadows, and vibrant highlights.
Stencil techniques: We'll show you how to cut and apply stencils, a great 'entry-level' technique for students who are nervous about freehand work.
Curriculum integration: A dedicated chat on how to link graffiti to Art, History, or Social Studies and how to manage a classroom of 30 kids with spray cans.
The final collaborative piece: Put it all together by contributing to a large-scale mural, experiencing the teamwork your students will eventually feel.
Certification & resources: Wrap up with a certificate of completion and a digital pack of resources to help you launch your first school street art project.

Local culture

Chania is a masterpiece of a city, where the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town provide a stunning contrast to the bold, colourful graffiti found in its more modern quarters. Street art here isn't just about rebellion; it's a conversation with the city’s complex history. From the Koum Kapi beach walls to the hidden corners near the Municipal Market, the local scene is thriving with Cretan spirit.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of Chania's most famous street art is inspired by traditional Cretan "Mantina-des" (folk poems)? Bringing local literature to life on the walls is a great tip we share for your own school projects! 🎨

When we run our training here, we tap into that local energy. We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you how to help your students tell their own stories through the medium of urban art, much like the artists who have transformed the exterior of the Chania Surf Club and other local landmarks.
