How does this training differ from typical art professional development?

Our training isn't just about drawing; it's about mastering the technical aspects of spray paint, safety protocols, and the cultural history of street art. We provide you with a structured lesson plan that integrates perfectly with Japanese educational standards while offering students a high-energy, contemporary creative outlet. You will learn how to manage large groups, handle materials safely, and encourage students who might feel intimidated by traditional fine arts.

I have never used a spray can before; is this training suitable for me?

Absolutely no previous experience with spray cans is required! We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, pressure control, and nozzle types. Our expert artists guide you through every step until you feel confident enough to demonstrate these skills to your own students. It is actually often better to start with a 'blank canvas' so you can learn our specific safety and teaching methods from scratch.

What safety measures do you teach for classroom environments?

In Yokohama, we prioritize safety above all else. We use high-quality, low-odor paints and provide all participants with professional-grade FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective suits. During the training, we teach you how to set up a safe outdoor or well-ventilated indoor workspace at your own school, ensuring that both you and your students can focus on being creative without any health or safety risks.

How long does the teacher training program take?

Standard professional development sessions in Yokohama typically last between 2 to 4 hours. However, we also offer intensive full-day masterclasses for those who want to dive deeper into mural production. We are flexible and can schedule these sessions during teacher inset days, weekends, or after-school hours to fit the busy schedules of Yokohama educators. Every session is designed to be hands-on and highly interactive.

Do I receive a certificate after completing the workshop?

Yes! Upon successful completion of the Graffitifun Teacher Training, you will receive a digital certificate of completion. This documents your new skills in street art pedagogy, safety management, and technical execution. Many teachers in Japan use this certificate to satisfy their annual professional development requirements and to show their school boards that they are qualified to lead specialized art workshops for their students.

What are the booking and payment terms for schools?

We make the process as easy as possible. There is no upfront payment required to book your training session; you only pay after the workshop is completed. We also have a 'fun guarantee' and backup artists available, so your scheduled professional development session will never be cancelled due to animator illness. We accept various payment methods suitable for both individual teachers and school institutional billing systems.
