Do I need previous graffiti experience for this teacher training?

Absolutely no prior experience is required! Our Edmonton-based artists are experts at teaching people from all skill backgrounds. We focus on the 'how-to' of graffiti so you can pass those skills on. Whether you've never touched a spray can or you're an established muralist, our Art Teacher Training is designed to give you the technical confidence to manage a classroom full of students during a spray-paint session safely and effectively.

How do you handle safety in a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. Our training includes a comprehensive module on PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), proper ventilation, and nozzle control to minimize overspray. We use high-quality, low-pressure cans that are easier for beginners to control. You'll learn how to set up a safe outdoor or indoor 'spray zone' in an Edmonton school environment, ensuring both you and your students stay protected while having a blast.

Will I receive a certificate after the training session?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of completion from Graffitifun. While this isn't a government-issued teaching license, it serves as professional development proof that you've been trained in the technical application of street art and the safety protocols required for student workshops. Edmonton school boards often value this specific skill set as part of their modern arts curriculum developments.

What materials are included in the professional development session?

We provide everything! Your session includes a wide variety of professional spray cans, safety masks, gloves, protective suits, and different types of 'caps' (nozzles). We also provide the practice surfaces, which can be canvases or mobile graffiti walls. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on, even with the protective gear we provide!

Where in Edmonton do these training sessions take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the professional development session at one of our partner creative spaces in Edmonton, or our team can come directly to your school or community centre. If we come to you, we’ll just need an outdoor area or a very well-ventilated indoor space. Our mobile setups are designed for easy clean-up, so we don't leave a mess behind.

How much does the Art Teacher Training cost?

Our pricing is dynamic to fit your needs, ranging from C$40 to C$90 per person. The final cost depends on the number of teachers attending, the duration of the workshop (usually 1.5 to 3 hours), and whether we are providing extra materials like take-home kits for your classroom. We recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing for your specific Edmonton school department.

Why should our school choose Graffitifun over other art programs?

Graffitifun is a premier provider of graffiti workshops across Europe and North America, backed by years of experience. We don't just teach art; we teach the culture and the 'fun' factor. Our professional artists are passionate about their craft and have a 100% satisfaction focus. Plus, our 'pay after the workshop' policy and backup artist guarantee mean your school’s professional development day is always in safe hands.

The experience

Bringing street art into your school isn't just about paint—it's about engagement, local culture, and giving students a voice. Here is why Edmonton art teachers love training with us:

Engage 'hard-to-reach' students: Graffiti is a massive hook for students who might not thrive in traditional fine arts settings. ✨
Safety-first approach: We take the fear out of spray paint by teaching you professional safety protocols and environmental management. 🛡️
New technical skills: Master can control, fading, and 3D effects that you can immediately demonstrate in your classes. 🎨
Curriculum ready: We help you translate graffiti techniques into lesson plans that meet Alberta's Fine Arts provincial standards. 📚
Boost staff morale: PD days don't have to be boring! This is a high-energy, team-building experience for your whole department. 🚀
No upfront stress: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, your school’s admin doesn't have to worry about the logistics. ✅

Step by step

Intro to the culture: We start with a quick session on the history of street art and how it transitioned from the subway to the gallery.
Gear and safety briefing: Learn about different nozzles (caps), paint brands, and essential safety protocols for a classroom setting.
First lines: Get hands-on with the cans! You'll practice basic lines, dots, and fades to get a feel for the pressure and distance.
The 'Tag' and 'Throw-up': We teach you the fundamentals of lettering style and how to guide students in creating their own unique signatures.
Filling and shading: Master the 'fill' and learn 3D shading techniques that make graffiti letters pop off the wall.
The 'Cutting' technique: This is a pro-secret! Learn how to use a second colour to sharpen lines and fix mistakes—crucial for helping students.
Collaborative mural: Work together on a large-scale piece to understand the dynamics of managing a group project.
The 'Clean-up' protocol: Discover the best ways to manage materials and clean up a site efficiently after a school session.
Q&A and certification: We wrap up with a discussion on lesson planning and hand out your completion certificates!

Local culture

Edmonton has a sneaky-good street art scene that’s been exploding lately. From the iconic murals in Whyte Ave to the legal walls that give local artists a place to shine, the "Festival City" is the perfect place to level up your art teaching game. We draw inspiration from the city's rugged, creative spirit and the incredible murals found in the Quarters District. Our training doesn't just teach you how to paint; it connects you to the urban heartbeat of Alberta's capital.

Fun Fact: Edmonton is home to the "Free Wall" at the 63rd Avenue overpass, where street art is encouraged! It’s a great local spot to see how the city's visual landscape is constantly changing. 🎨
