Do I need to be an artist to take this teacher training?

No previous experience with spray paint is necessary! Our Quebec City training is designed for educators of all skill levels. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can and control pressure—before moving into advanced mural techniques. You’ll leave feeling confident enough to lead your own classroom session, regardless of your personal artistic background. It's all about learning the process so you can teach it to others.

Is spray painting safe to do with my students?

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority, especially in a school setting. We use low-pressure, high-quality spray cans and provide all necessary PPE, including masks and gloves. Part of the curriculum specifically focuses on how to set up a safe 'graffiti zone' at your school, ensuring proper ventilation and student supervision. We'll give you a full safety checklist to use for your future lesson plans.

How long does the professional development session last?

The training typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, master basic can control, practice lettering styles, and complete a collaborative mural. For larger groups or professional development days in Quebec, we can extend the session to include more deep-dive curriculum planning and 'train-the-trainer' modules. We are flexible to fit your schedule!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! You don’t need to bring a thing to our Quebec City studio (or your school site). This includes a wide array of premium spray cans, caps/nozzles, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your art department to help integrate graffiti into your provincial curriculum.

How can I justify a graffiti workshop to my school board?

Graffiti is a powerful hook for disengaged students. Our training focuses on 'Street Art as Pedagogy,' showing you how to use this medium to teach color theory, typography, and social justice. In a city as historic as Quebec, we also explore how to balance modern urban expression with heritage preservation. It’s a great way to boost student enrollment in art electives and foster a sense of community.

Can you host the training session at our school?

Yes, we are fully mobile! While we have amazing partner spaces in Quebec City, our artists can come directly to your school or community centre. We can set up temporary 'graffiti walls' outdoors or in well-ventilated indoor areas. This allows your entire art department to train in their own environment, making it easier to visualize how you’ll implement these lessons with your own students later on.

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your professional development in the capital? Because we specialize in turning "vandalism" into a viable, curriculum-aligned educational tool. Here is why Quebec teachers love our program:

Boost Student Engagement: Nothing gets a classroom excited like the smell of (safe) spray paint and the chance to work big. 🔥
Hands-On Skill Building: You won't just watch a slideshow; you’ll be on the wall, mastering flares, fades, and cuts.
Curriculum Ready: We provide you with the vocabulary and history to link street art to social studies, English, and fine arts. 📚
Risk-Free Professionalism: With our backup artist policy and "pay after" system, your school’s budget is always protected. 🛡️
Stress Relief: Let’s be honest—teaching is tough. Letting loose on a graffiti wall is the ultimate creative therapy for educators! ✨

Collaborative Mural: Put it all together by co-creating a large-scale piece, experiencing the teamwork aspect of street art.

Local culture

Quebec City is a unique canvas where old-world charm meets modern urban expression. While the Petit Champlain looks like a storybook, neighborhoods like Saint-Roch have become the beating heart of the local street art scene. Our training draws inspiration from the Muralis initiatives and the city's growing collection of public murals that decorate the concrete overpasses and brick facades. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Quebec City is home to some of the largest "trompe-l'œil" murals in North America? These massive works of art blend perfectly with the historic architecture, proving that this city has a deep, long-standing love affair with wall-based storytelling! 🎨✨

In our workshops, we embrace this "Vieille Capitale" vibe, teaching you how to bridge the gap between traditional fine arts and contemporary urban techniques right here in the 418.

Pricing

Investment in your professional development shouldn't break the school budget. Our Quebec City training sessions are priced competitively to ensure every teacher has the chance to learn.

Standard PD Session: C$40 - C$90 per person

Note: Prices vary based on the number of participants, location (on-site vs. studio), and the amount of materials required.

We pride ourselves on providing high-impact, low-stress experiences for Quebec educators. 💸
