Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous graffiti experience to join the teacher training?

Absolutely! No prior art experience is needed. Our Pretoria-based artists lead the training, focusing on the fundamentals first. We teach you how to handle a spray can, manage pressure, and create clean lines from scratch. By the end of the session, you'll feel confident enough to demonstrate these techniques to your own students, regardless of your initial skill level. 🎨

What materials are included in the professional development session?

We provide everything you need at our Pretoria locations. This includes high-quality spray cans with various nozzles (caps), safety gear like masks and gloves, and practice surfaces. We also provide digital resources and lesson plan templates that you can take back to your school to start your street art curriculum immediately. Just wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! 👕

Is the spray paint safe to use in a school environment?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade sprays and provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves. During the training, we specifically cover how to set up a safe 'spray zone' in a South African school environment, including ventilation requirements and student supervision protocols to ensure a risk-free creative experience for everyone involved. 🛡️

Are there discounts available for large groups of teachers?

Yes, we do! For larger groups of educators from the same school or district in Pretoria, we offer tiered pricing. Because our goal is to spread the joy of street art as widely as possible, we make it affordable for departments to train together. This also helps in building a unified creative vision for your school's art department! 🤝

Can the training take place at our own school in Pretoria?

While we have dedicated partner locations in and around Pretoria, we can certainly come to your school if you have a suitable outdoor space with proper ventilation. Bringing the training to your campus is a fantastic way for us to help you identify the best permanent spots for future student murals. We’ll bring all the necessary equipment to you! 🚐

How long does a typical training session last?

Our standard professional development workshops usually run between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for a solid mix of theory, safety briefings, hands-on practice, and a collaborative mural project. We can also customise the duration if you have a specific 'staff development day' schedule to stick to. ⏱️

How do we handle the 'vandalism' stigma with our students?

Graffitifun focuses on 'Street Art' as a legitimate contemporary art form. We teach the history and the transition from 'vandalism' to 'public gallery art.' Part of the training includes educating students on the legalities of art and respecting public property, ensuring they understand that their creativity belongs in designated spaces or on approved school projects. 🏫
