How it works

  1. Introduction & Safety: We start with a briefing on how to use the equipment safely and respect the environment. āœØ
  2. The Art of Lettering: Students learn the foundations of "tags" and "throw-ups," the building blocks of street art.
  3. Can Control Practice: Our artists demonstrate different nozzles (caps) and how to control pressure for thin or thick lines.
  4. Sketching the Mural: The group brainstorms themesā€”perhaps something reflecting Alexandrian pride or school valuesā€”and sketches the outline.
  5. Filling & Fading: This is the fun part! Students start filling in the colors and learning how to create smooth gradients and fades. šŸ”„
  6. Outlining & Detailing: We add the sharp outlines and "highlights" that make the graffiti pop off the wall.
  7. The Final Group Masterpiece: Everyone steps back to see how their individual contributions created one massive, stunning mural. šŸ†
  8. Photos & Cleanup: We take group photos for the school yearbook and handle every bit of the cleanup process.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical Alexandria graffiti workshop last?

Standard workshops for secondary schools in Alexandria generally run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This timeframe is perfect because it gives students enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their letter forms, and complete a large-scale collaborative mural without losing focus. We can also adapt the schedule to fit within a double-period school block if needed!

Is the spray paint safe for secondary school students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all students with high-quality protective gear, including gloves, masks, and aprons to keep their school uniforms clean. We only use professional-grade spray paint, and our instructors are experts at managing groups to ensure everyone stays safe while having a blast. We also prefer working in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large school courtyards.

Do students need to have any artistic skills beforehand?

Absolutely! No prior drawing or painting experience is required. Our Alexandria street artists are great at breaking down complex styles into simple steps that anyone can follow. Whether a student is a natural artist or has never held a spray can before, they will walk away with a piece of art they are proud of and a huge boost in confidence.

Where in Alexandria do the workshops take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring mobile wooden walls to your school grounds, or we can work on large plastic canvases if you want something temporary. If the school has a specific wall they want to beautify permanently, we can arrange that too. We handle all the setup and cleanup, so your school premises stay tidy and professional.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to teach secondary students about teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving. Itā€™s also a great stress-reliever! In a city like Alexandria, which has such a rich history of art, it helps students connect with modern urban culture in a positive, legal, and constructive way. Plus, itā€™s an unforgettable experience that builds school spirit.

How far in advance should we book a school session?

We recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance, especially for popular times like the end of the term or school activity weeks. However, we have a large team of backup artists in Egypt, so if you have a last-minute request, give us a shout and we will do our absolute best to make it happen for your students!
