Do I need to have previous experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is needed to join our training in Portoviejo! We designed this programme specifically for traditional art teachers and educators who want to expand their repertoire. Our expert artists will guide you from the very first spray, teaching you everything from nozzle control to complex layering. You will leave the session feeling confident enough to lead your own classroom through a successful street art project.

Is the training safe, and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective gear for every participant. During the training, we cover essential safety protocols that you can replicate in your school, including proper ventilation, fire safety, and non-toxic paint options. We make sure you know exactly how to manage a group of students with spray cans in a way that is both fun and completely secure.

How long does the teacher professional development session last?

Standard professional development sessions in Portoviejo typically last between 2.5 to 4 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, technical skills, and a collaborative mural project. However, we can also offer extended full-day masterclasses if you want to dive deeper into curriculum integration or large-scale mural production. We are flexible and can work around your school’s timetable.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, various specialised nozzles (caps), protective clothing, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your office. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty while you create your masterpiece.

Where can I apply these street art skills after the training?

The training is incredibly versatile. We’ve seen teachers apply these skills in traditional art classes, after-school clubs, youth community centres, and even as part of history or social studies projects. Street art is a fantastic tool for re-engaging students who might find classic fine arts intimidating. It’s also perfect for school mural projects where students get to leave a lasting, positive mark on their campus.

What makes Graffitifun different from other training providers?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That’s why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and have a reliable bench of backup artists to ensure your session never gets cancelled. Additionally, we provide a free Cost Calculator on our site so you can get an instant estimate, and our Workshop Quiz helps you find the perfect training format for your specific department needs.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-focused professional development session? It’s more than just paint on walls—it’s about finding new ways to connect with your students. Here’s why our training in Portoviejo is a game-changer:

Student Engagement: Street art is "cool" by default. Learn how to use this to re-engage students who might shy away from traditional art. 🔥
Skill Diversification: Master a new medium that combines elements of graphic design, muralism, and fine art.
Safe Practice: We teach you the industry-standard safety protocols so you can run your own school sessions without the stress.
Hands-on Fun: Forget boring seminars! This is a high-energy, practical session where you’ll be creating art from minute one. ✨
Community Impact: Learn how to lead school mural projects that beautify your campus and build student pride.
Zero Risk: With our "pay after" policy and backup artist guarantee, your professional development day is in safe hands.

Step by step

Introduction & History: We kick off by exploring the evolution of graffiti from underground tagging to a respected global art movement, giving you the context needed for classroom theory sessions.
Gear Mastery: Learn about the different types of spray cans, low-pressure vs high-pressure options, and which 'caps' or nozzles create specific effects like thin lines or wide flares.
Safety Protocols: We walk you through the essential health and safety setup, ensuring you can manage a group of students safely while using aerosol paints.
Basic Techniques: Get hands-on practice with 'can control'—learning how to manage distance, speed, and pressure to create clean shapes and fades.
Lettering & Styles: Dive into the geometry of graffiti letters, from basic 'bubbles' to more complex 'wildstyle' structures that your students will love.
Collaborative Mural: Use your new skills to help create a large-scale collaborative piece, experiencing the teamwork dynamics that occur during a group art project.
Curriculum Integration: We wrap up by discussing how to map these activities to your specific educational goals, providing you with lesson plan ideas and assessment tips.

Good to know
