How it works

  1. The big reveal: We arrive at your Cartagena school and set up the 'graffiti zone' with canvases, drop cloths, and all the gear.
  2. Artistic inspiration: Our pro artists give a short, high-energy talk about the history of street art and the vibrant mural culture of Colombia.
  3. Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear—overalls, masks, and gloves—while we explain the 'can-rules'.
  4. Mastering the nozzle: Kids start with 'shadow-painting' or practicing on practice boards to get a feel for how the spray pressure works.
  5. Sketching the dream: Students brainstorm their designs, choosing their 'tag' name or a symbols that represents their personality.
  6. Colour explosion: The real fun begins! Under expert guidance, the children begin layering colours and creating their designs on the final boards.
  7. The finishing touch: Our artists help the kids add sharp outlines and 'highlights' to make their artwork pop and look professional.
  8. The gallery walk: We finish with a showcase where students explain their art to their peers, building confidence and public speaking skills.
  9. Easy clean-up: We pack everything away, leaving your school grounds spotless but with a collection of incredible new art pieces!

Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, non-toxic spray paints specifically designed for use in school settings. Every child is provided with a high-quality mask, gloves, and a protective overall to keep their school uniforms clean. Our professional artists have years of experience supervising young children and ensure that the 'creative chaos' remains entirely safe and strictly on the designated canvases or walls.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our primary school workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy levels without the kids getting tired. We typically start with a short history and safety briefing, move on to sketching and practicing on 'practice walls', and transition into the final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or morning break sessions.

What do we need to provide as a school?

We bring everything needed for the ultimate street art experience! This includes a vast rainbow of spray cans, protective gear (overalls, gloves, and masks), caps, and the canvases or boards the kids will be painting on. The only thing the school needs to provide is an outdoor or well-ventilated space and plenty of enthusiasm. We even bring plastic sheeting to make sure the school grounds stay exactly as we found them.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist-mentors guide the children through the basic 'can-control' techniques, showing them how to make dots, lines, and fades. We focus on the process of creation rather than technical perfection. It is amazing to see how quickly even the youngest students gain confidence with the spray can and start producing vibrant, impressive work they are proud of.

Can the workshop help with social development and teamwork?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for team building! We often set up large-scale mural projects where students have to work together to decide on a theme, a colour palette, and how their individual tags fit into the bigger picture. It encourages communication, compromise, and collective pride. There is nothing quite like the 'wow' moment when the kids step back and see what they have achieved as a group.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Cartagena's weather is usually glorious, but we always have a plan B! If rain occurs, we can move the workshop under a pavilion, a large marquee, or into a very well-ventilated indoor hall using our special low-pressure cans. We also have a network of backup artists ready to jump in, so your event is never cancelled due to staff illness. You can book with total peace of mind.
