Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the training?

Absolutely not! Our art teacher training in Utrecht is designed for educators of all skill levels. Whether you are a stick-figure specialist or a seasoned oil painter, our professional artists will teach you the fundamental spray can techniques from scratch. The focus is on pedagogy and safety, ensuring you feel confident enough to demonstrate these skills to your own students regardless of your personal artistic background.

How do you handle safety and equipment?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls. During the session, we cover essential safety protocols for using aerosol sprays, proper ventilation requirements, and how to manage a group of students safely in an outdoor or well-ventilated indoor environment. You'll leave with a clear safety checklist for your own future lessons.

What does the curriculum of the teacher training involve?

We believe in 'learning by doing.' The training starts with a brief history of street art, followed by intensive hands-on practice. You'll learn nozzle control, fading, outlining, and 'filling.' We then transition into the educational side: lesson planning, curriculum integration, and classroom management for high-energy creative activities. It is a comprehensive blend of technical skill and professional development.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes! Upon successful completion of the workshop in Utrecht, every participant receives a Graffitifun certificate. This serves as proof of your professional development and confirms that you have been trained in graffiti techniques and safety protocols by professional artists. It’s a great addition to your professional portfolio and school accreditation records.

How long does the training session last?

Our training sessions typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time to master the basic spray techniques, experiment with different caps, and discuss the theoretical aspects of teaching street art. If you have a larger group of staff members, we can adjust the timing to fit your school’s professional development schedule or 'studiedag' requirements.

Can the training take place at our school?

We are very flexible! We can host the training at one of our vibrant legal graffiti locations in Utrecht, such as the Berlineplein, or we can bring the entire setup to your school premises. If we come to you, we use mobile wooden walls or plastic sheeting to ensure your school buildings remain clean while providing an authentic spray-painting experience for your staff.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide every single thing you need. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, different types of nozzles (caps) for various effects, protective gear, and practice surfaces. We even provide sketches and inspiration boards. You only need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!
