Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?

Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odor and we prioritize outdoor or well-ventilated spaces. Our professional artists are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the only thing students take home is a sense of pride in their new creation (and maybe a little paint on their shoes).

Where in Los Angeles do these workshops take place?

The best part is that we come to you! We can host workshops right on your school campus, whether it's on the basketball courts, a parking lot, or an open field. If you'd prefer an off-site experience, we can help arrange a session at a local LA street art spot. We bring all the boards, plastic covering, and materials to keep your campus clean.

Do students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Our artists start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, how to control pressure, and how to create simple shapes. We guide the students through every step of the process so that even those who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' end up creating an impressive piece of street art.

What is the maximum group size for a school event?

We are incredibly flexible. We can work with small art clubs of 10 students or host large-scale events for hundreds of students divided into rotating groups. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every student gets individual attention and remains supervised throughout the creative process. No group is too big for a bit of spray paint magic!

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard educational workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final production of the group mural or individual canvases. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your specific school period schedule or after-school program requirements.

What makes this workshop more educational than a standard art class?

We believe in 'learning by doing.' Unlike a traditional art class, students get to use professional-grade tools and see immediate, large-scale results. It’s a huge confidence booster! Plus, we touch on the history of the movement and the transition from 'vandalism' to respected 'street art,' helping students understand the importance of legal creative expression and community respect.

The experience

Why bring a Graffitifun workshop to your Los Angeles school? Because art should be loud, colorful, and hands-on! Here is why schools love working with us:

Confidence Boost: There's nothing like seeing a 6-foot tall mural you helped create to make a student feel like a rockstar.
Teamwork in Motion: Students have to communicate and coordinate to make sure the "pieces" fit together perfectly.
Cultural Connection: We bridge the gap between "street culture" and "fine art," giving students a relevant context for their creativity.
Zero Hassle for Teachers: We bring everything. Literally everything. You just provide the students and the space!
Safe & Legal: We emphasize the importance of legal art spaces, teaching students that creativity doesn't have to mean breaking the rules.
Pro Artists: Our instructors aren't just teachers; they are active members of the graffiti scene who live and breathe this art.

Step by step

Introduction & History: We start with a high-energy intro covering the evolution of street art from NYC subways to LA's famous murals.
Safety First: Students get geared up with masks, gloves, and suits while we explain the "always-downwind" rule.
The First Line: Artists demonstrate basic techniques like "tags" and "throws" to get everyone comfortable with the cans.
Practice Session: Students head to the practice boards to get a feel for pressure control and nozzle distances.
The Big Design: The group collaborates on a concept, sketching out the main letters and characters on the final surface.
Color & Fill: This is where the magic happens! Students work together to fill in the piece with vibrant colors and fades.
Outlining & Detail: Our pros help students sharpen their lines and add those "pop" effects like highlights and 3D shadows.
Grand Reveal: We step back to admire the masterpiece, take group photos, and discuss the teamwork involved.
Clean-Up: We pack up every bit of plastic and empty cans, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them.

Local culture

Los Angeles isn't just a city; it's a global mecca for street art. From the legendary Great Wall of Los Angeles in the Valley to the rotating masterpieces in the Arts District, our city uses its walls to tell stories. Our workshops tap into this local heritage, showing students how LA artists transformed the landscape of modern art. We don't just teach painting; we teach students how to respect the urban environment while adding beauty to it.

Fun Fact: Did you know LA is home to one of the longest murals in the world? The Great Wall of Los Angeles stretches over half a mile! That's a lot of spray cans! 🎨

Pricing

Our school workshops are competitively priced to work with educational budgets. Because every school's needs are different, we offer flexible tiers:

Student Rate: Between $35 and $75 per person.

Total cost depends on group size, the number of artists required, and whether you want individual canvases or a giant collaborative mural. We never require upfront payment—you only pay after the masterpiece is finished!
