Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! This training is designed for educators of all artistic levels. Whether you are a dedicated fine arts teacher or a primary school generalist, we teach you the foundations from scratch. We focus on 'can control', safety, and basic lettering techniques that you can easily pass on to your students. Our goal is to give you the confidence to lead a session, not to turn you into a gallery artist overnight.

Is spraying paint safe for my students and the school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We cover everything from the correct use of high-quality respirators and gloves to choosing well-ventilated outdoor spaces. You'll learn how to manage a group of students safely, ensuring they follow 'spray etiquette' and use the equipment responsibly. We provide a full safety checklist that you can implement in your own school or community centre immediately after the course.

How long should a typical graffiti lesson last in a school setting?

We recommend a minimum of 2 hours for a basic session, but we'll show you how to adapt the curriculum for 45-minute lesson blocks or full-day intensives. The training includes time-management tips, such as how to prep canvases or walls quickly and how to manage the 'drying time' of different paint layers so your lessons run smoothly without any bored students waiting around!

What specific materials do I need to start a graffiti program?

The course covers a comprehensive list of essentials: low-pressure spray cans (easier for beginners), various 'caps' (nozzles) for different line widths, protective gear, and surface options. We also provide a list of local suppliers in São Paulo where you can source affordable, high-quality materials. Plus, we’ll teach you 'trash-to-treasure' techniques using cardboard or recycled materials to keep your department budget under control.

Can this be integrated into the standard national curriculum?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for teaching modern history, social justice, and urban geography. During the training, we provide you with lesson plan templates that link street art to themes like identity, community, and political expression. In a city like São Paulo, the local 'pichação' and muralism movements offer incredible case studies for students to analyse and discuss in a classroom setting.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

We understand that school schedules change! That’s why we don't require upfront payment at the time of booking. You can settle the balance after the workshop is completed. Furthermore, we have a deep roster of professional artists in São Paulo, so if your lead trainer is ever unavailable, a backup artist is always ready to step in, ensuring your professional development day goes ahead exactly as planned.

Local culture

São Paulo isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing gallery. From the world-famous Beco do Batman in Vila Madalena to the towering murals of the 'Museu de Arte Urbana' (MAUC), this city defines global street art. Our training taps into this local energy, using the city's unique Paulistano style as inspiration. We don't just teach the "how"; we teach the "why" behind the vibrant colors that mask the concrete grey of the city. 🎨

Fun Fact: São Paulo is the birthplace of 'Pichação', a unique, cryptic style of vertical tagging that is legally and artistically distinct from 'Graffiti' in Brazil. It's a fascinating topic for any classroom debate!
