Why choose us in La Paz?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school? It’s not just about making a mess (though we do that safely!). It’s about teaching kids that their voice matters and that creativity has no limits. Here’s why schools in La Paz love us:

  • 🔥 Confidence Boost: There are no mistakes in street art—only new directions. It's great for kids who struggle with traditional 'perfect' drawing.
  • ✨ Teamwork: Many of our projects involve collaborative murals where pupils must communicate and work together to finish the piece.
  • 🎨 Professional Artists: Your students won't just be taught by anyone; they'll learn from real street artists who live the culture.
  • 💪 Zero Stress: We handle everything. From setting up the protective plastic to clearing away the cans, we leave your school tidy.
  • 🏆 Memorable Learning: This isn't just another art class. It's a day the kids will be talking about at the dinner table for weeks!
  • 🚀 Interactive Tools: Use our Tag Creator to prep designs before we even arrive!

How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a fun talk about the history of street art and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear.
  2. The Sketching Phase: Before touching a can, students brainstorm ideas and sketch their designs on paper to plan their masterpieces.
  3. Nozzle Knowledge: Kids learn about 'caps'—the different tips that control the spray—and practice spraying lines and dots on a practice board.
  4. Outline Creation: Our artists help the children spray the main outlines of their chosen design using light, easy strokes.
  5. Fill-In Fun: This is the best part! Students choose their favourite vibrant colours to fill in their art, learning about gradients and blending.
  6. Adding the 'Pop': We teach the kids how to add a 'second outline' or highlights to make their artwork stand out and look three-dimensional.
  7. Final Details: Using slim caps, students add the finishing touches, dots, and 'shines' to perfect their street art.
  8. The Big Gallery: We finish with a group photo and a 'gallery walk' where everyone cheers for each other's creative hard work!

Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are specifically trained to supervise primary-aged children, ensuring they handle the equipment correctly while having a blast in a controlled, secure environment.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard primary school workshop in La Paz usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for keeping younger children engaged without them getting tired. We spend the first part on history and technique, and the majority of the time on the actual painting. However, we can adapt the duration to fit your specific school timetable or special event needs.

Will the children's school uniforms get stained?

Don't worry about the mess! We provide full-body protective suits and gloves for all participants. While the suits do a great job, we always recommend that students wear 'play clothes' or older school uniforms on the day, just in case they get a little extra creative. We also use drop cloths to protect the school grounds and ensure the area is left tidy.

Do the kids need to have prior drawing skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists are expert teachers who break down the techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We focus on 'controlled doodling' and basic shapes first. You'll be amazed at how quickly a 7-year-old can learn to create a vibrant, professional-looking piece of street art with just a little guidance.

What surfaces do the children actually paint on?

We are very flexible! We can paint on large temporary wooden panels, individual canvases that the children can take home, or even a designated school wall if you want a permanent mural. Most primary schools love the canvas option because it gives each child a sense of pride and a physical souvenir of their creative achievement to show their parents.

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

While we love the sunshine of the Altiplano, we always have a Plan B. If the weather in La Paz turns sour, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or a very well-ventilated indoor hall using water-based paint markers or specialized low-pressure cans. With our backup artist system, we guarantee your workshop goes ahead regardless of minor hitches.
