The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your school in the City of Gold? It’s more than just spraying paint; it’s about building a community within your classroom. Here’s why we’re a hit with Johannesburg educators:

  • Boosts Confidence: Even students who think they "can't draw" find their flow with a spray can in hand. 🚀
  • Teaches Teamwork: Creating a collaborative mural requires communication, compromise, and collective pride.
  • Urban Roots: We celebrate Jozi's unique street culture, making art relatable to modern South African youth. 🏙️
  • Zero Stress for Teachers: We bring everything! We set up, run the show, and clean up afterwards. No admin headaches for you.
  • Safe & Professional: We use top-tier safety gear and professional artists who know how to keep things fun but disciplined. 💪
  • Curriculum Friendly: Our workshops can be tailored to meet Creative Arts outcomes for various grades.

Looking for something different? We also do festivals, kids parties, company events, brand activations, and even bachelor parties! 🎤

Step by step

  1. Intro and Safety Briefing: We start with a high-energy intro about street art history and a vital safety demo on using the gear properly. 🛡️
  2. The Art of the Tag: Students learn the basics of lettering and how to create their own unique "tag" or signature.
  3. Can Control Basics: Learners get hands-on with the spray cans, practicing lines, dots, and filling techniques on practice surfaces.
  4. Concept Sketching: Working in teams, students brainstorm themes and sketch out a rough design for their collaborative mural. ✍️
  5. Outline and Fill: The real fun begins! Students start applying their designs to the main surface, learning about colour blending and layers.
  6. Detailing and 3D Effects: Our pros show the kids how to add highlights, shadows, and sharp outlines to make their art pop.
  7. The Big Reveal: We step back to admire the finished masterpiece. It’s a huge "wow" moment for the whole school! 📸
  8. Clean-up and Wrap-up: We ensure the site is tidy and have a quick chat about what the students learned about teamwork and creativity.
