How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: Our pro artist arrives at your Montevideo school and kicks things off with a high-energy intro and a quick safety chat.
  2. Sketching the Vision: The kids grab pens and paper to brainstorm their 'tags' and learn the basics of letter formation and character design.
  3. The Art of the Can: We demonstrate the 'nozzle' techniques—learning how to control pressure to create thin lines, fat splashes, and cool fades.
  4. Creating the Background: Students work together to fill in the background of their mural, choosing vibrant 'Uruguayo' colours to set the scene.
  5. Outline & Fill: This is where the magic happens! Kids take turns adding their personal designs and filling in the larger-than-life letters.
  6. Highlights & Details: We show the youngsters how to add 'shines' and 3D effects to make their artwork pop right off the wall or canvas.
  7. Grand Reveal & Photos: Once the masterpiece is finished, we peel back the tape and admire the work. It’s time for a group photo with the new crew!

Frequently asked questions

Is a graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! While we use spray paint for the final masterpieces, we always start with a safety briefing and basic techniques on paper or practice boards. Our Montevideo artist mentors are experts at helping younger children find their rhythm. We use high-quality materials and provide full protective gear, so the kids stay safe and clean while they explore their inner street artist. It is all about building confidence!

How long does a typical school session last?

Our standard workshops for primary schools in Montevideo usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their 'tag' on paper, and then move on to the exciting part—using the spray cans on a large canvas or wall. We keep the energy high the whole time so nobody gets bored!

What should the students wear for the workshop?

Don't worry about the mess; we have it covered! We provide high-quality disposable overalls, gloves, and masks for every student. While we recommend kids don't wear their absolute favourite designer clothes, our protective gear is very effective at keeping the paint on the artwork and off the uniforms. We make sure the only thing more colourful than the kids is their amazing new street art!

Do we need to travel to a studio in Montevideo?

The best part about Graffitifun is that we come to you! Whether it's your school playground in Prado or a sports hall in Pocitos, we can set up almost anywhere. If your school doesn't have a suitable outdoor space, we can also help arrange a local legal graffiti zone or use a mobile setup. We are flexible and can adapt to your school's specific layout.

How much does a primary school graffiti workshop cost?

We believe in fair and transparent pricing for schools. Because every group size is different—from a single class to a whole year group—we offer bespoke quotes. The great thing is you don't need to pay anything upfront! You can book your date with confidence and only settle the payment after the workshop has been successfully completed and the kids are beaming with pride.

Do the children need to have prior art skills?

Not at all! This isn't an art exam; it's a creative experience. Some kids might be natural illustrators, while others just want to experiment with bold colours and shapes. Our professional artists guide every child through the process step-by-step. By the end of the session, even the kids who thought they 'couldn't draw' will have contributed to a stunning piece of urban art.

Can we create a permanent mural for our school building?

Definitely! Our workshops are a fantastic way to brighten up a school. We can work with the students to create a permanent mural on a school wall that will be seen by future generations. If you prefer something less permanent, we can create large-scale canvases that can be hung in the hallway, library, or classrooms. It’s a wonderful way to give the kids ownership of their environment.
