Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the teacher training?

No prior experience with spray paint is necessary! Our Gwangju training is specifically designed to take educators from zero to hero. We start with basic safety and nozzle control before moving into complex lettering and mural design. You will learn the same foundational skills we teach our professional artists, ensuring you feel confident leading a classroom of students through their first masterpiece. Our goal is to make you the coolest art teacher in South Korea!

What safety measures and gear are provided during the session?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits to ensure no fumes or paint reach your skin or lungs. We also train you on how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace for your students. We follow strict European safety standardsadapted for the South Korean educational environment, making sure your future workshops are 100% risk-free and professional.

Can these skills be taught to both primary and secondary school students?

Absolutely! While the core techniques remain the same, we show you how to adapt the difficulty level for different age groups. For younger kids in Gwangju elementary schools, we focus on 'street art' techniques with stencils and paint markers. For older teenagers, we dive into the technical aspects of 'wildstyle' lettering and can control. You'll leave the session with a versatile toolkit of lesson plans suitable for all K-12 students.

How does the training incorporate Gwangju's local art culture?

Gwangju is known as the 'City of Art,' and we lean into that! Your professional development session includes an overview of how to connect graffiti to Gwangju's rich history of social expression and the Gwangju Biennale. We teach you how to frame street art within the context of democratic expression and community building, making your art curriculum deeply relevant to the local culture and the South Korean national curriculum.

What kind of materials and budget will I need for my own school workshops?

We understand that school budgets can be tight. During the workshop, we provide a comprehensive 'Starter Kit' list that includes affordable local South Korean paint brands and recycled material ideas. We also show you how to maximize one can of paint across multiple students and how to create 'practice walls' using inexpensive plastic wrap or cardboard, ensuring you can run a high-impact workshop without breaking the bank.

Why should I choose Graffitifun over other professional development providers?

Our Gwangju training is unique because it's hands-on. Many PD sessions are just lectures, but with Graffitifun, you are at the wall with a spray can for 90% of the time. We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you don't feel confident enough to teach a basic workshop after our session, we provide extra guidance. Plus, we offer backup artists if you ever plan a massive school event and need professional reinforcements!

First lines and fades: Practice basic can control—dots, lines, and smooth color gradients—before moving on to bigger shapes. 🖌️
Lettering workshop: We'll teach you the "Graffitifun Method" for sketching letters that pop, which you can easily replicate on a whiteboard for your kids.
Mural collaboration: Work together on a group piece to experience the teamwork and social-emotional benefits your students will feel. ✨
The 'Teaching' module: A specialized session on classroom management, timing, and how to handle the inevitable "accidental" paint splatters.
Project planning: We'll sit down and help you outline your first 4-week graffiti curriculum tailored to your specific school's needs. ✍️

Local culture

Gwangju isn't just any city; it's the artistic soul of South Korea. From the world-renowned Gwangju Biennale to the colorful murals of the Penguin Village in Yangnim-dong, this city breathes creativity. We love hosting our training sessions here because the local community truly understands the power of visual storytelling. Gwangju has a long history of using art to speak up and bring people together, making it the perfect backdrop for learning a medium as expressive as graffiti.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Yangnim-dong Penguin Village was transformed into an outdoor art gallery by local residents using recycled materials? It's a perfect example of the "do-it-yourself" spirit we teach in our graffiti workshops! 🐧🎨

While you're here for your training, we encourage you to explore the local street art near the Chonnam National University area to see how the next generation of Gwangju artists is making their voices heard. Let's keep that Gwangju spirit alive in your classroom! 🔥
