How it works

  1. Intro and theory: We kick off with a brief history of street art and how it evolved from subculture to a respected global art movement.
  2. Safety briefing: Learn the essential protocols for using aerosol paint in a school environment, including PPE and ventilation.
  3. The first spray: Get comfortable with the can. You'll practice basic lines, dots, and 'fading' techniques on a practice surface.
  4. Lettering basics: We'll teach you the anatomy of graffiti letters, from simple 'throw-ups' to more complex 'pieces' so you can guide students.
  5. Teaching methodology: We discuss how to manage a class of 30 students with spray cans—logistics, pacing, and classroom management.
  6. The mural project: Work together on a collaborative piece to understand the dynamics of large-scale student projects.
  7. Stencilling and techniques: Explore alternative street art methods like stencilling, which is great for younger or less confident students.
  8. Clean-up and storage: Learn the 'boring but important' bits—how to store cans and dispose of waste properly.
  9. Review and Q&A: We wrap up by reviewing your work and answering final questions about implementing your new skills in school.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior experience with spray paint to join?

Absolutely no prior graffiti experience is required! Our Lodz training is designed specifically for art teachers who may be experts in traditional media but are new to the world of aerosol art. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and safety—before moving into pedagogical strategies. Our goal is to make you feel confident enough to lead your own classroom session by the end of the day.

What materials are included in the professional development session?

We provide everything you need to get started. This includes high-quality low-pressure spray cans (which are easier for beginners to control), various nozzles (caps) for different line widths, protective overalls, gloves, and high-standard FFP3 masks for safety. We also provide canvases or boards for your practice pieces. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on!

Is the workshop safe, and what safety protocols do you follow?

Safety is our absolute priority, especially when we are teaching educators who will be supervising others. We use low-solvent paints where possible and mandate the use of professional-grade respiratory protection. During the training, we provide a comprehensive safety checklist that you can use in your own school setting, covering ventilation, fire safety, and proper storage of materials to ensure your future classroom remains a safe creative environment.

Can you help me integrate graffiti into my existing curriculum?

Yes! We believe that street art is a fantastic tool for social-emotional learning and history. Our training includes a segment on how to link graffiti to the National Curriculum, including Art and Design, History (the evolution of social movements), and even Chemistry (pigments and polymers). We provide you with a digital toolkit of lesson plans and discussion prompts that you can adapt for different age groups in your specific school.

How long does the teacher training session last?

The training typically lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on your specific goals and the number of participants. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for covering the history, the technical skills, and the pedagogical application without getting overwhelmed. If you have a larger department or want a more intensive deep-dive into mural painting, we can extend the session or split it over two days.

Is this training officially recognised for CPD credits?

While our current focus is on providing the skills, materials, and certificates of completion, we can provide you with the necessary documentation to submit for your local CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits. Our workshops are highly regarded for their practical application and innovative approach to art education, making them a strong candidate for professional development funding within most Polish school districts and private institutions.
