Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely! Our Santo Domingo teacher training is specifically designed to cater to all skill levels. Whether you are a fine arts specialist or a primary school teacher who hasn't picked up a spray can before, we guide you through the basics. We focus on teaching you the techniques and safety protocols necessary to lead a classroom confidently, ensuring you leave with the skills to inspire your students.

What materials are provided during the professional development session?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and educational hand-outs you can take back to your school. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Is spray painting safe to do with students in a school setting?

Safety is our absolute priority, especially in an educational setting. Our training covers the correct use of respiratory protection, ventilation requirements for indoor vs outdoor spray painting, and how to manage a group of students safely with aerosol cans. We teach you how to set up a safe workspace in your own school environment in Santo Domingo, ensuring a risk-free creative experience for everyone involved.

How long does the teacher training session last?

A standard professional development workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of core techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice. We can also offer full-day intensive sessions if your department wants to dive deeper into curriculum integration and advanced mural techniques. We are flexible to fit your school's professional development schedule.

Can the training be held at our specific school or college?

Yes, we do! We can bring the entire workshop setup directly to your school grounds in Santo Domingo, or we can host your team at one of our local creative spaces. Conducting the training at your school is often beneficial as it allows us to give specific advice on where and how you can implement graffiti projects within your actual campus environment.

What is the teaching style of the Graffitifun artists?

We don't believe in 'boring' training. Our sessions are highly interactive and hands-on. After a short introduction, you'll be at the wall practicing lines, fades, and fills. We use a 'learn by doing' approach, so by the time you're finished, you'll feel the same excitement your students will. Plus, you get to create your own piece of art to take home!

Is there a minimum number of teachers required for a booking?

Not at all! You can book a private session for a small group of creative leads, or we can cater to the entire staff of an art department. We offer scalable solutions for schools of all sizes. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and time with the spray cans.
