Why choose us in Antwerp?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school students in Antwerp? It's a unique way to bridge the gap between traditional art and modern culture. Here are just a few reasons why schools love working with us:

Inclusivity: Graffiti is a 'level playing field' where children who struggle with traditional drawing often find they have a natural talent.
Team Building: Many of our projects involve creating a large mural together, teaching kids the value of cooperation and shared goals.
Confidence Booster: Seeing a giant, colourful piece of art they helped create gives pupils an immense sense of pride and achievement.
Professional Security: We have backup artists ready to go, so your school event is never cancelled due to illness.
Zero Risk: With no upfront payment, you can book with total peace of mind, knowing we are committed to delivering a top-tier experience.
Cultural Connection: Antwerp has a rich street art scene; this workshop connects students to the contemporary heartbeat of their city.

How it works

Introduction and inspiration: Our professional artist starts by showing the kids real-world examples of street art and explaining the history of the craft.
Safety briefing: We kit everyone out in protective gear and explain the essential 'do's and don'ts' of using spray cans safely.
Sketching the vision: Pupils start by drawing their ideas on paper, planning out colours and shapes before they touch the wall.
The first spray: Kids learn 'can control'—practising how to make dots, thin lines, and thick strokes on a practice surface.
Lettering basics: We teach the class how to transform simple letters into 3D graffiti styles, which is always a big hit with primary ages.
Filling and fading: The artists guide students through techniques like 'fills' and 'fades' to add vibrant colour gradients to their work.
Collaborative masterpiece: The whole class works together on a large-scale mural, combining their individual styles into one epic piece of art.
Final outlines: We help the kids add those sharp black outlines and white highlights that make their graffiti truly 'pop' off the wall.
Group photo and cleanup: We wrap up with a celebratory photo in front of the art and ensure the site is left spotless.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide every student with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our spray cans are low-pressure and user-friendly, specifically chosen for younger hands. Additionally, our professional artists are trained to supervise children, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast painting in Antwerp.

What is the ideal group size for a school workshop?

Ideally, we work with groups of 15 to 25 pupils per artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention. However, we are very flexible and can accommodate entire grade levels or the whole school by rotating groups or bringing in multiple artists. For larger school events in Antwerp, we always ensure we have enough backup staff to keep things running smoothly.

Where in Antwerp do the workshops take place?

We can host the workshop at your school premises if you have a suitable outdoor wall or open space, or we can arrange a session at one of Antwerp's designated legal graffiti zones. If we paint at your school, we take care of all the protection (tarps and plastic) to ensure the surrounding area stays clean and paint-free.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a short introduction, some practice runs, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the duration to fit your school's specific timetable or broaden the session into a full-day creative arts program if requested.

What materials do we need to provide?

You don't need to worry about a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for the session. This includes various colours of professional spray paint, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we paint on (unless we are decorating a permanent school wall). We just ask that the children wear old clothes and shoes, just in case!

Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics, showing the kids how to hold the can and create simple lines. Our goal is to build their confidence and show them that everyone can be an artist. It's about self-expression and having fun, not about being perfect from day one.

How does the payment process work for schools?

To keep things stress-free for your school administration, we don't require upfront payments. You can book the date, and the payment is only settled after the workshop has been successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we've delivered to your pupils before any money changes hands.
