Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned fine arts teacher or a primary school instructor who hasn't picked up a spray can before, our professional artists will guide you through the basics. We focus on teaching you the techniques and safety protocols so you can confidently pass that knowledge on to your students in Manizales.

Is spray painting safe for a school environment?

We take safety very seriously at Graffitifun. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the workshop, we teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor 'spray zone' at your school. We'll also cover the importance of using low-pressure cans and eco-friendly products that are safer for educational environments.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes! Upon successful completion of the workshop, you'll receive a Graffitifun Street Art Educator certificate. This serves as proof of your professional development and shows that you've mastered the technical and pedagogical aspects of teaching graffiti. It’s a great addition to your teaching portfolio and can help you advocate for more creative arts funding in your department.

How long does a typical training session last?

Our standard teacher training sessions in Manizales typically last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This duration allows us to cover the history of street art, technical spraying skills, and a mock lesson plan execution. However, we can also offer full-day intensive sessions or multi-day programmes if your school or institution requires a deeper dive into urban art curriculum integration.

Are materials like spray cans and masks included in the price?

The training fee is all-inclusive. We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, protective gear, caps (nozzles), and the surfaces we’ll be practicing on. You don't need to bring anything except your enthusiasm and perhaps some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on. We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards!

How can I integrate graffiti into my existing art curriculum?

Street art is a fantastic tool for engagement. We suggest starting with 'legal walls' or removable plywood boards to keep things ethical. During the training, we'll show you how to link graffiti to history, social justice, and typography. By channeller their energy into a structured project, students often feel a greater sense of ownership and school pride, which actually reduces unauthorised tagging.

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your professional development in Manizales? Because we believe that when teachers are inspired, students thrive. Here’s why our training stands out:

Expert guidance: Learn directly from active street artists who know the "real world" of muralism. 🏆
Hands-on experience: This isn't a boring lecture; you'll be spraying and creating from the very first hour.
Classroom-ready: We provide actual lesson plans and tips on how to manage 30 kids with spray cans without losing your mind! 🤯
Boost engagement: Graffiti is a "hook" that gets even the most reluctant students excited about art history and technique.
No-risk booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists ready to go, your training is in safe hands. ✨

Step by step

Theory and history: We start with a brief journey through the evolution of street art, from NYC subways to the vibrant walls of Colombia, ensuring you have the context to teach your students.
Introduction to gear: Learn about the different types of spray cans, pressures, and the all-important 'caps' that create different line widths and effects.
Safety first: We demonstrate how to correctly wear protective equipment and how to supervise a group of students safely in an outdoor classroom setting.
Basic techniques: Master the 'can control' essentials: making clean lines, dots, and smooth colour gradients without the dreaded drips.
Lettering and styles: Practice various graffiti fonts, from 'bubble' letters to more complex 'block' styles, so you can help students find their unique tag.
The mural process: Learn how to scale a small sketch onto a large wall using the 'grid' or 'doodle' method—a vital skill for school mural projects.
Pedagogical workshop: We discuss how to structure a 1-hour or 2-hour lesson for different age groups, including tips on managing paint supplies.
Final masterpiece: Collaborate on a group piece to put all your new skills into practice before we wrap up and present certificates.
