Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! This training is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts graduate or someone who hasn't touched a spray can since secondary school, our professional artists will teach you the fundamentals. We focus on 'train the trainer' techniques, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate basic strokes and safety protocols to your own students by the end of the session.

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

We take safety very seriously. Your training includes a comprehensive module on health and safety, covering the correct use of high-quality respirators, skin protection, and site ventilation. We also provide guidance on how to manage a group of students safely, ensuring that your future classroom environment remains creative, controlled, and risk-free for everyone involved in the art-making process.

How long does the professional development session last?

Our standard Art Teacher Training sessions in Merida typically last between 2.5 and 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, technical spray skills, and the pedagogical side of teaching street art. If you have a larger faculty group or want a more deep-dive 'Masterclass' experience, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need to get started! This includes premium low-pressure spray paint cans (which are easier to control), a wide variety of nozzles (caps), safety gear like FFP3 masks and gloves, and large canvases or mobile wall boards. You'll also receive a digital handbook packed with lesson plan ideas and technical tips to refer back to when you're in the classroom.

Can you host the training at our school or facility?

Yes, we do! While we love hosting sessions at our local street art spots in Merida, we are fully mobile. We can bring the entire workshop setup—including temporary boards if you don't have a legal wall—directly to your school or community centre. This allows you to train in the environment where you'll actually be teaching, making the experience even more practical and relevant.

How does the booking and payment process work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in stress-free booking. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We operate on a 'pay after the workshop' basis, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the training before the invoice is settled. This makes it much easier for schools and institutions to manage their professional development budgets without the hassle of immediate prepayments.

The experience

Why choose graffiti for your professional development in Merida? Besides being incredibly fun, it offers a range of benefits for your career and your students:

Instant student engagement: Graffiti is one of the few art forms that students are already passionate about—meet them where they are! 🔥
Technical mastery: Learn a whole new medium that you can add to your professional portfolio and CV.
Inclusive creativity: Street art is a 'low barrier' entry point for students who struggle with traditional drawing or painting.
Risk-free booking: With no upfront payment, your school’s budget is always safe with us. 🏆
Team building: There’s no better way to bond with your colleagues than by creating a massive mural together!
Curriculum integration: We don't just teach art; we show you how to link graffiti to history, politics, and social justice.

Step by step

Introduction & street art history: We kick things off with a brief look at the evolution of graffiti, from underground subculture to global gallery art, giving you the context to teach it.
Safety first: Get kitted out in professional gear. We’ll teach you how to set up a safe workspace and how to properly use respirators and gloves with your students.
The anatomy of the can: Learn about different nozzles (caps) and how they change the line weight, as well as the 'low-pressure' technique for maximum control.
Basic strokes & lettering: Practice the fundamentals—lines, dots, and fills. We’ll show you how to guide students through creating their first 'tag' and 'throw-up' styles.
Advanced techniques: Master fading, shading, and highlights to give your work a 3D effect. These are the 'wow' factors that will truly engage your classroom.
Lesson planning workshop: We discuss how to integrate graffiti into your specific curriculum, aligning it with art history, social studies, or design units.
Collaborative mural: Work together with fellow teachers to create a large-scale piece, experiencing the teamwork and communication skills that street art promotes.
Feedback & cleanup: We wrap up with a critique session and show you the most efficient ways to manage supplies and clean up a 'messy' medium like spray paint.

Local culture

Merida, known as the 'City of Gentlemen' and the student capital of Venezuela, is the perfect backdrop for professional artistic development. Nestled in the Andes, the city has always had a rebellious and creative spirit, largely thanks to the influence of the University of the Andes (ULA). Street art here isn't just decoration; it's a conversation. From the colourful murals near the Plaza de Toros to the hidden gems in the Chorros de Milla area, the city’s walls tell a story of mountain life and modern aspirations. We tap into this local energy to ensure your training feels relevant to the Merideño context. 🏔️

Fun fact: Did you know that Merida is home to some of the highest-altitude street art in the country? The thin mountain air actually affects how the paint dries, making the local texture truly unique! ✨

Pricing

We believe that every school and community project is unique. Because our art teacher training in Merida is fully customisable—from the number of participants to the location and duration—we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Whether you're a small primary school faculty or a large regional education board, we’ll work with you to create a package that fits your budget perfectly.

The best part? You don't pay a penny until the training is finished. No upfront costs, no risk—just pure creative growth.
