Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

No prior experience with spray paint is required! Our Kisumu training is designed for art educators of all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics of can control and safety before moving into advanced mural techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the rhythm of the spray, and our professional artists are there to guide your hand every step of the way. We focus on 'teaching you how to teach' the medium.

Is the spray paint safe to use in a classroom environment?

Safety is our top priority, especially in a school setting. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits. During the training, we exclusively use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and produce less fumes than standard hardware store paint. We also teach you how to set up 'safe zones' for your students, ensuring that your future classroom workshops are both breath-taking and completely secure for everyone involved.

Can this training be integrated into the standard school curriculum?

Absolutely! We don't just teach you how to paint; we show you how to link street art to the Kenyan national curriculum and international art standards. We cover topics like colour theory, art history (from cave paintings to modern murals), social justice through art, and collaborative project management. You'll leave with a ready-to-use toolkit of lesson plans that will make your art department the most popular spot in the school.

How long does the teacher professional development session last?

The session typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the number of participants and the complexity of the mural project we tackle. This timeframe allows us to cover the theoretical background, technical practice, and a final collaborative piece. If you have a larger group of teachers from across Kisumu, we can also arrange full-day 'intensive' sessions to dive deeper into specific urban art styles and history.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We take care of everything! All premium spray paint, protective gear (suits, gloves, masks), and practice surfaces are included in the package. We even provide sketches and design templates to help get the creative juices flowing. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We bring the studio to your school or chosen venue in Kisumu.

How does the payment process work for schools?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be complex. That’s why we offer a 'book now, pay later' policy. You can secure your date in the diary today, and the final payment is only due after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the training before any funds change hands, making it a risk-free professional development choice for your institution.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-focused professional development session in Kisumu? Because traditional art classes can sometimes feel a bit "boxed in." Street art breaks those walls down (metaphorically and literally!). Here’s why your team needs this:

Instant Student "Cool" Factor: Nothing bridges the generational gap like showing your students you’ve mastered the art of the spray can. 🔥
Collaborative Spirit: Unlike individual painting, large-scale murals require communication and teamwork—skills you can pass directly to your pupils. 🤝
Total Safety Assurance: We teach you the professional standards so you can run student sessions with 100% confidence and zero accidents. 🛡️
Mental Health & Expression: Graffiti is a physical, cathartic medium that helps students (and teachers!) process emotions through bold, bright colours. ✨
Curriculum Boost: We show you how to weave street art history and technique into the Kenyan CBC, making your lessons unforgettable. 🏆
Beautify Your Campus: Why have grey walls when you can have masterpieces? Learn how to lead school mural projects that everyone is proud of. 🦁

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off at your Kisumu location with a quick run-through of the gear. You'll get suited up in protective kits and learn the "golden rules" of spray can safety.
Mastering can control: Before hitting the big wall, we practice the basics. You'll learn how to create thin lines, fat caps, and smooth gradients—the building blocks of any great mural.
Lettering and style: We dive into the "alphabet" of street art. Our mentors show you how to help students develop their own unique tags and "throw-up" styles while maintaining artistic discipline.
The layering technique: Learn the secret to professional-looking street art: layering. We teach you how to go from background "buff" to foreground highlights without making a muddy mess.
Collaborative mural production: Put your new skills to the test! Together with your fellow teachers, you'll execute a large-scale piece, experiencing the teamwork dynamics your students will face.
Curriculum integration workshop: We wrap up the physical work and sit down to discuss how to translate this into your lesson plans, focusing on Kenyan CBC requirements and student engagement.
Cleanup and certification: We show you the eco-friendly way to manage caps and cans. Every participant leaves with a certificate of completion and a digital pack of teaching resources!

Good to know

Local culture

Kisumu is a city defined by its vibrant energy and the shimmering blue of the Winam Gulf. While Nairobi often takes the spotlight for urban art, the "Dala" (home) of the Lake Victoria region is rapidly becoming a sanctuary for creative expression. From the bustling pathways of Kibuye Market to the serene vibes of Dunga Hill Camp, the visual culture here is rich with stories of heritage and fish-trade hustle. Our art teacher training in Kisumu taps into this unique spirit, encouraging educators to find local inspiration for their murals.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kisumu’s name comes from the Luo word "Sumo", which means "a place of barter trade"? Much like a busy market, street art is a trade of ideas—and we can't wait to see what creative "deals" you’ll strike on the canvas!

We love working in Kisumu because the light here—especially at sunset—makes every spray-painted colour pop with an intensity you won't find anywhere else. Let's bring that lakeside inspiration into your school halls! 🎨
