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

Absolutely! While we love working with art specialists, our Houston professional development sessions are designed for educators of all subjects. We teach the fundamental techniques of can control and safety from the ground up. Whether you are a history teacher looking to visualize timelines or a math teacher exploring geometric spray patterns, you will leave with the skills and confidence to lead a successful creative session.

Is spraying paint safe for a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective gear for all participants. During the training, we cover essential safety protocols for the classroom, including proper ventilation, non-toxic paint options, and how to manage a large group of students with spray cans. You will learn how to create a controlled, mess-free environment that meets school safety standards.

Will I receive a certification or professional development credits?

Yes! Every participant receives a certificate of completion that outlines the skills learned and the hours spent inessional development. Many Houston-area teachers use these certificates to fulfill their annual continuing education requirements. We focus on 'each one, teach one' principles, ensuring you are pedagogically prepared to transfer these artistic skills to your specific student demographic.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get your hands dirty! This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colors, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective suits, gloves, and professional-grade respirators. We also provide the practice surfaces, whether that is large-scale plastic film or wooden panels. Just show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!

How long does the training session usually last?

Our standard teacher training sessions in Houston typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows for a deep dive into the history of the movement, plenty of hands-on practice time, and a concluding session on how to integrate these lessons into your existing curriculum. If you have a specific time constraint, let us know—we are happy to customize the duration for your staff.

Can you host the training directly at our school?

While we can host groups at our local partner spots, we love coming to your campus! We can set up temporary 'graffiti walls' using stretch wrap between pillars or trees, which means no permanent marks on your school property. This 'pop-up' style is actually a great technique to teach you, as it shows how easily you can bring street art to your own students.
