How does this training differ from standard art education courses?

Our training stands out because it is taught by active professional graffiti artists. Instead of just theory, you get hands-on experience with equipment, techniques, and the cultural history of the movement. We focus on the practicalities of classroom management during a high-energy art session, ensuring you walk away with the confidence to lead your own students through a successful spray paint project.

Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely! While we cover advanced techniques, the core of the course is designed to take you from a complete novice to a competent instructor. We start with the basics of 'can control,' nozzle types, and safety protocols before moving on to style and design. By the end of the day, you'll be amazed at the high-standard work you can produce and teach.

What safety equipment is provided during the training session?

Safety is our biggest priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respirators, nitrile gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. During the training, we also teach you how to set up a safe workspace for your students, including ventilation requirements, environmental considerations, and how to manage the 'hot zone' where spraying takes place to prevent accidents.

What is the policy on 'legal' vs 'illegal' street art in schools?

Hangzhou is a city that values its beauty, so we focus on 'legal art' and community-sanctioned spaces. We teach you and your students the importance of respecting public property and only painting in designated zones or on mobile walls. This ethical approach ensures that your school's art programme remains a positive contribution to the local Hangzhou community.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the development programme?

Yes! Every teacher who completes our Art Teacher Training in Hangzhou receives a Graffitifun certificate of completion. This serves as a great addition to your professional development portfolio, proving you have been trained in specific street art safety, technical spray skills, and creative workshop facilitation by a professional organisation.

Can the training take place at my own school in Hangzhou?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the training at one of our partner creative spaces in Hangzhou, or our artists can come directly to your school or campus. If your school has an outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall, we can set up mobile plastic-wrapped walls to ensure a mess-free and professional training environment for your staff.

Local culture

Hangzhou is world-renowned for its serene West Lake and ancient tea culture, but look closer and you'll find a buzzing contemporary art scene. As a hub for tech and innovation, the city’s schools are increasingly looking for ways to engage students with "edgy" yet structured creative outlets. Street art fits this bill perfectly! Our training sessions often draw inspiration from the city's natural beauty, blending classic Hangzhou motifs with modern spray-paint aesthetics. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Hangzhou is home to the China Academy of Art? The city is a literal magnet for artists, making it the perfect place to push the boundaries of what 'traditional' art education looks like!
