Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior graffiti experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our Montreal art teacher training sessions are specifically designed to be accessible for everyone, regardless of previous street art experience. We focus on the pedagogical aspects—teaching you how to demonstrate techniques safely and effectively. You'll learn the basic 'can control' skills from scratch so you can confidently pass them on to your students in a classroom or community setting.

How do you handle safety and ventilation during the training?

Safety is our top priority, especially in an educational context. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and we only use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control. During the professional development session, we also provide a comprehensive safety briefing template that you can use with your own students to ensure a secure and enjoyable creative environment.

Can the training take place at my school or a specific location?

We are very flexible! We can host the training at one of our partner creative spaces in Montreal, or our professional artists can come directly to your school or community centre. If we come to you, we just need a suitable outdoor wall or a well-ventilated indoor space with proper protection. We bring all the drop cloths and masking materials needed to keep the site clean.

What is the typical duration of an art teacher training session?

Most of our professional development workshops in Montreal last between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of the movement, master the technical 'how-to' of spray painting, and spend significant time on lesson planning and curriculum integration. We can also customize the duration to fit into your school's PD schedule or 'ped' day.

Are there any take-home materials or lesson plans provided?

Yes! Every participant receives a digital 'Graffiti Education Kit' which includes a summary of the techniques learned, a list of recommended (and budget-friendly) supplies, and sample lesson plans aligned with creative arts curricula. You'll leave the workshop not just with a piece of art, but with a full toolkit ready to be implemented in your next project.

Why should our school board choose Graffitifun over local artists?

Choosing Graffitifun means choosing reliability. We have a deep bench of professional artists in the Montreal area, meaning we always have backup instructors available to ensure your training goes ahead as planned. Plus, with our 'pay after the workshop' policy and 100% satisfaction guarantee, there is absolutely no risk to your department's budget. We make it easy and fun!
