The experience

Why choose a graffiti-focused PD session in the heart of Toa Payoh? Because your students are already looking at these walls—why not teach them how it's done right? ✨

  • Boost Student Engagement: Street art is inherently "cool." Learning these techniques helps you connect with students who might be less interested in traditional fine arts. 🚀
  • Hands-On Skills: This isn't a boring lecture. You’ll be holding a spray can within the first 20 minutes, learning real-world mural skills. 💪
  • Safe Practice: We teach you the official protocols, so you can guide your students on where and how to paint legally and safely in Singapore.
  • Modernize Your Curriculum: Stay ahead of the curve by incorporating urban art history and contemporary techniques into your syllabus. 📚
  • Stress Relief: Honestly? It’s just really fun! It’s a great way for a teaching team to bond and decompress while learning something new. 🎨
  • Professional Guidance: Learn from working artists who live and breathe street culture, not just from a textbook. 🎤

Step by step

  1. Introduction to Street Culture: We start with a brief history of graffiti and how it evolved into a respected contemporary art form, giving you the context needed for classroom discussions.
  2. Gear and Safety Briefing: Learn about different nozzles (caps), paint types, and the essential safety gear required to keep your students safe while they create.
  3. Can Control Basics: Master the fundamental movements, from 'dusting' and 'fading' to creating clean lines and sharp edges with a spray can.
  4. Lettering and Form: We guide you through the construction of graffiti letters, focusing on flow, weight, and style so you can teach students how to find their own 'tag'.
  5. Color Theory and Filling: Discover how to use high-contrast palettes and blending techniques to make artwork pop off the wall or canvas.
  6. Stencil Integration: Learn how to combine freehand work with stencils, a great entry point for younger students or those who are less confident in their drawing skills.
  7. Collaborative Mural Planning: We show you how to manage a large-group project, including scaling sketches and coordinating multiple students on a single wall.
  8. Assessment and Feedback: Finally, we discuss how to evaluate street art projects in a school setting, focusing on effort, technique, and creative expression.

Local culture

Street art in Toa Payoh

Toa Payoh is a district that perfectly blends heritage with modern urban life, making it a fantastic backdrop for street art exploration. Known for its iconic dragon playground and rich HDB history, this neighborhood has a unique "heartland" energy that resonates through its public spaces. While Singapore has strict regulations on street art, the local scene is thriving in designated zones and through community-led mural projects. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Toa Payoh was the first town entirely designed and built by the HDB? Its organized layout actually provides some of the best textured walls and community spaces that are perfect candidates for sanctioned mural projects! Bringing street art training here feels like a bridge between the town's storied past and its creative future. 🏙️

Pricing

Our teacher training sessions are competitively priced to fit within school department budgets. Costs generally range from S$45 to S$100 per person, depending on the number of participants and whether you want us to come to your location or host you at ours. 💰

We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed! This makes the admin side of things much easier for schools and organizations. 🎉
