Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Not at all! Our art teacher training in Penang is designed for all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts specialist or a primary teacher who has never touched a spray can, we provide a supportive environment. We focus on teaching you the foundational techniques and safety protocols so you can confidently demonstrate them to your students later. It is all about learning by doing!

Is using spray paint safe for a school environment?

We take safety very seriously. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gloves. Our Penang workshops are often held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. We also teach you how to set up a 'safe zone' in your own school environment to ensure your students remain protected while they create.

Can I integrate this into my existing art curriculum?

Absolutely! One of the core goals of our PD sessions is to show you how graffiti aligns with the Malaysian National Curriculum. From exploring 'Street Art' as a contemporary movement to discussing the physics of spray pressure or the social impact of public art, we help you build a robust, multi-disciplinary lesson plan that satisfies educational standards while thrilling your students.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training sessions typically last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of the movement, experiment with various caps and nozzles, and finish a collaborative mural. We find this timeframe is perfect for teachers to absorb the skills without feeling rushed, while still fitting into a busy professional development schedule.

Are all materials provided in the training?

Yes! Everything you need is included in the price. We provide the spray paint, a wide variety of nozzles (caps), safety gear, and the surfaces we paint on. You don't need to bring anything except your enthusiasm and perhaps some old clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'colourful' during our Penang street art session!

What is the maximum group size for a training session?

Our teacher training is highly flexible. We can host small groups of 5 teachers for an intimate coaching session or larger groups of up to 30 for a school-wide professional development day. If you have a very large faculty, we can even provide multiple Graffitifun artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one guidance and aerosol practice.

Why should I choose graffiti art for my students?

Penang is the street art capital of Malaysia! By bringing graffiti into your classroom, you are connecting your students to their local culture. It encourages visual literacy, improves fine motor skills through 'can control', and provides a powerful outlet for self-expression. Plus, it is a fantastic way to engage students who might find traditional 'brushes and canvas' art less appealing.
