Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience with graffiti to take this course?

This training is designed specifically for educators, including secondary school art teachers, community youth workers, and freelance creative tutors. While having a basic understanding of art principles helps, you don't need any prior experience with spray paint. Our expert artists will guide you from the very first shake of the can to advanced technical execution. We focus on transforming you from a novice to a confident street art mentor.

How do you handle safety concerns in a school environment?

We take safety incredibly seriously. During the training in Paysandú, we cover the essential health and safety protocols you'll need to implement in a classroom setting. This includes the correct use of high-quality respirators, ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas, and managing flammable materials safely. We also discuss how to select non-toxic paints and manage student allergy concerns to ensure your school workshops are 100% risk-free.

What materials do I need to bring to the training?

While we provide all the spray cans, caps, and protective gear during your sessions, we also give you a comprehensive shopping list. We'll show you the best brands for educational settings and where to source affordable materials in Uruguay. You'll leave the training knowing exactly what to buy to stock your own school art cupboard without breaking the bank on professional-grade supplies.

How long does the teacher training programme last?

Our professional development sessions are highly flexible. We offer intensive one-day workshops that last about 4 to 6 hours, as well as multi-day deep dives for those wanting to master complex mural techniques. We can host these at a local creative space in Paysandú or travel directly to your school campus to train your entire art department simultaneously. It's all about what fits your schedule.

Will I receive any teaching resources or lesson plans?

Absolutely. We don't just teach you how to paint; we teach you how to teach. You'll receive a digital pack containing lesson plans, historical context on global and Uruguayan street art, and structured exercises for different age groups. These resources are designed to be plugged directly into your existing curriculum, making it easy to start your first graffiti unit as soon as you return to class.

Why should I choose graffiti over traditional painting for my students?

Graffiti is a powerful tool for reaching students who might otherwise disengage from traditional art history. It teaches scale, colour theory, and collaboration in a high-energy way. In Paysandú, we've seen how street art projects can transform school pride and offer a voice to students. By bringing graffiti into your curriculum, you're offering a contemporary, relevant outlet that bridges the gap between 'high art' and street culture.
