Do I need prior graffiti experience to join this training?

Absolutely! While some comfort with a spray can helps, our Los Angeles teacher training is designed for educators of all skill levels. We break down the technical aspects of graffiti—from 'can control' to 'fadework'—into easy-to-teach modules. We focus on providing you with the confidence to demonstrate these techniques to your own students, regardless of your personal artistic background. It's about the process and the pedagogy!

What safety measures are taught for classroom implementation?

We take safety very seriously. All participants are provided with high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits. During the professional development session, we specifically cover how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor 'spray zone' at your school. We also discuss eco-friendly paint options and legal considerations to ensure your future school projects are 100% safe and compliant with local regulations.

How long does the teacher training session last?

Our standard professional development workshops in LA typically run between 2.5 to 4 hours. This allows enough time for a deep dive into history, a hands-on technique session, and a collaborative mural project. If your school district or department has specific time constraints, we are happy to modularize the training to fit your schedule. We also offer multi-day intensives for those wanting a masterclass experience!

Will I receive a certificate for professional development hours?

Yes! Upon completion of the Graffitifun Teacher Training, you will receive a certificate of participation. Many LAUSD and private school teachers use this documentation to fulfill their annual professional development hour requirements. We provide a detailed syllabus of the skills learned, which you can submit to your administration for credit approval. It's a great way to boost your resume with a unique, modern skill set.

What materials are included in the workshop fee?

We provide everything you need at our Los Angeles site! This includes premium spray paint in a huge variety of colors, specialized nozzles (caps), practice boards, protective gear, and instructional handouts. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little paint on and bring your creative energy. We even provide coffee and snacks to keep the artistic juices flowing during the brainstorming phase.

How can I integrate graffiti into other subjects like History or Science?

Graffiti is a powerful hook for students! In the training, we show you how to link street art to social studies (the history of urban movements), physics (pressure and velocity), and even ELA (typography and storytelling). We provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that align with National Arts Standards, making it easy to justify bringing this 'cool' medium into your traditional academic curriculum.

What is the cost for a group of teachers from the same school?

We understand that school budgets and professional development funds vary. Our pricing in Los Angeles typically ranges from $35 to $75 per person, depending on the number of educators attending and the depth of the curriculum requested. For larger groups or district-wide training, we offer significant volume discounts. Since every school has different needs, we always recommend requesting a custom quote for the most accurate pricing!

Local culture

Los Angeles isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing gallery. From the historic murals of Chicano Park to the ever-evolving walls of the Arts District, LA's identity is etched in spray paint. Our training taps into this local heritage, showing you how to use the city itself as a textbook. We'll discuss how local legends have shaped the global scene, giving you stories that will captivate your students from Hollywood to East LA. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the "The Great Wall of Los Angeles" in the San Fernando Valley is one of the longest murals in the world? It stretches over half a mile! We teach you how to bring that kind of big-picture thinking to your school campus.

Our workshops often take place in inspiring urban settings that reflect the true grit and beauty of LA street art culture. It’s about more than just paint; it’s about understanding the pulse of the city and bringing that energy back to your students. 💪
