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

You don't need to be a professional artist to join! Our training is designed for educators of all levels. While basic drawing skills help, our professional graffiti artists focus on teaching you the technical aspects of spray painting and the pedagogical methods to teach it to others. We provide all the guidance and tools you need to feel confident leading your own street art session.

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

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. During the training, we specifically teach you how to manage a classroom of students safely, covering proper ventilation, spray technique, and equipment handling. You'll leave the workshop knowing exactly how to keep your students safe and the environment clean.

Can I integrate these graffiti techniques into my existing art curriculum?

Absolutely! A core part of our professional development is showing you how to tie graffiti art into history, social studies, and even maths. We provide you with lesson plan templates and project ideas that help students explore urban culture, typography, and colour theory. It’s a fantastic way to boost student engagement while meeting standard curriculum requirements.

What materials are provided during the teacher training session?

All you need to bring is your creativity and some clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! We provide the spray cans, caps, protective gear, canvases, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and a handbook that you can take home to refer back to when you're planning your own future lessons.

How does graffiti art help with student engagement and inclusion?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for reaching 'hard-to-engage' students. It offers a sense of freedom and modern relevance that traditional art forms sometimes lack. We teach you specific engagement strategies, how to foster a collaborative 'crew' atmosphere in the classroom, and how to use street art to build student confidence and self-expression.

Can the training be held at my school or a specific Nanjing location?

We are very flexible! We can host the training at our designated street art spaces in Nanjing, or our team of artists can come directly to your school or studio. If we come to you, we’ll just need an outdoor area or a very well-ventilated indoor space. We handle all the setup and clean-up, making it easy for you.
