Why choose us in Barranquilla?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school students? It’s more than just an art lesson—it's an adventure in confidence-building. Here’s why schools in Barranquilla love working with us:

  • Boosts creativity: Graffiti breaks the traditional rules of art, allowing every child to find their own style.
  • Encourages teamwork: Many of our projects involve creating a large mural where students must collaborate to succeed.
  • Cultural connection: Helps students engage with the urban art they see every day in the streets of Barranquilla.
  • Safe and controlled: We provide a structured environment where kids learn the difference between art and vandalism.
  • Physical activity: Being upright and moving while painting is a great way to engage kids who find traditional desk-based art difficult.
  • Inclusive fun: Street art is a 'leveller'—you don't need to be good at drawing to create something that looks amazing.

How it works

  1. Initial consultation: Reach out to us to discuss your school’s goals and the number of students participating.
  2. Design theme: We help you choose a theme for the workshop, such as 'Community', 'Nature', or 'School Values'.
  3. Safety briefing: Our artists start the day by teaching the kids how to use the gear safely and respect the environment.
  4. Technique demo: We show the students the basics—nozzles, pressure, and how to create crisp lines and soft glows.
  5. Sketching ideas: Before spraying, the children brainstorm and sketch their ideas on paper to plan their masterpiece.
  6. First sprays: Under close supervision, the students start applying their first layers of colour to the wall or boards.
  7. Collaboration: The kids work together to fill in the mural, learning about teamwork and shared creative goals.
  8. The finishing touches: Our artists help the students add outlines and highlights to make their artwork really 'pop'.
  9. Photo finish: We conclude with a group photo and a debrief where the kids can talk about what they've created.

Our professional artists are highly experienced in working with primary school children in Barranquilla, ensuring that every student follows safety protocols while having a blast. We always choose well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces for our workshops to ensure a healthy environment for everyone.

What happens if the artist is sick? Is my booking guaranteed?

We pride ourselves on being reliable. We have a solid team of backup artists in Barranquilla just in case of any last-minute emergencies. This means your school workshop will never be cancelled due to artist illness. Once you're on our calendar, you can count on us to be there, ready to inspire your students with a creative and colourful street art experience.

Do we need to provide any materials for the workshop?

You don't need to worry about a thing! Graffitifun provides all the professional equipment required. This includes a wide range of colourful spray cans, protective masks, gloves, aprons, and the canvases or surfaces for the kids to paint on. We even bring plastic sheets to protect the surroundings if we are working on your school grounds. All you need to provide is the space and enthusiastic students!

How long does a typical school session last?

A standard primary school workshop in Barranquilla usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides plenty of time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, and the actual hands-on painting session. We can adjust the duration slightly to fit into your school's specific timetable or block lessons, ensuring the children get the full experience without feeling rushed.

Do the students need to have any artistic skills beforehand?

No prior experience or 'artistic talent' is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and fun for everyone. Our artists guide the children through simple steps, from holding the can to creating cool shapes and fades. It’s all about expression and having a go. We find that even the quietest students often find a new sense of confidence through graffiti art.

How does the payment process work for Colombian schools?

We make the booking process as stress-free as possible for schools. You don't have to pay anything upfront to secure your date. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you only pay after the session has been successfully completed. After the workshop, we will send an invoice that can be settled via bank transfer, keeping things simple for your school's administration.
