How it works

  1. Introduction & Theory: We start with a brief history of graffiti culture in Zagreb and the evolution from 'vandalism' to recognized contemporary art.
  2. Gear Up & Safety: Learn about the different types of spray cans, caps, and essential safety gear required for a classroom setting.
  3. Mastering the Can: Get hands-on with basic techniques like lines, dots, and fades. You'll learn the 'muscle memory' needed to teach others.
  4. Lettering & Flow: Dive into the anatomy of graffiti letters. We’ll show you how to help students move from simple sketches to bold 3D styles.
  5. Lesson Planning: We sit down to discuss how to integrate these skills into the Croatian national curriculum or your specific school goals.
  6. The Collective Mural: Put your skills to the test by collaborating on a large-scale piece, simulating the dynamics of a group project.
  7. Evaluation & Feedback: Discuss how to grade and provide constructive feedback on street art without stifling student creativity.
  8. Certification: Wrap up with a Q&A session and receive your professional development certificate and digital resource pack.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist already to take this training?

Absolutely no prior experience is needed! Our Zagreb training is designed to take you from a complete novice to a confident street art educator. We start with the basics of spray can control and safety before moving into complex mural design. Our goal is to give you the skills and the confidence to lead your own classroom sessions, regardless of your current artistic background. ✨

Is it safe to bring spray paint into a school environment?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and we provide all necessary PPE, including FFP3 masks and gloves. During the workshop, we teach you how to set up a safe 'spray zone' in a school environment, ensuring proper ventilation and distance, so you can replicate this safely with your students back at your own institution. 🛡️

How long should a typical graffiti lesson last for my students?

We recommend a minimum of 1.5 to 2 hours for a standard student session. During our teacher training in Zagreb, we’ll show you how to structure these blocks effectively—covering everything from the introductory 'tagging' practice to the final' piece' creation. This ensures your students stay engaged and you don't feel rushed while managing the creative process. ⏱️

Will I receive a certificate or teaching materials after the course?

Yes, every participant receives a Graffitifun certificate of completion! In addition to the physical certificate, you’ll leave with a digital toolkit containing lesson plans, supply lists, and safety checklists. This is perfect for your professional development portfolio and proves to your school board or principal that you are qualified to lead street art activities safely. 🏆

What happens if it rains on the day of my training?

While we often work at amazing outdoor locations like the Student Centre or Branimirova, we have reliable indoor backup options for rainy days. This means your training session in Zagreb is guaranteed to go ahead regardless of the weather. We use specific techniques and materials suited for indoor practice if the Croatian clouds decided to open up! 🌧️

What are the most important technical skills I will learn?

Gravity and pressure! We’ll teach you how to choose the right 'caps' (nozzles) for different effects and how to manage the distance from the wall to prevent drips. You’ll learn how to teach these specific 'can-control' skills to your students so they feel successful immediately. It’s all about the wrist technique and finding the right flow, which we'll practice extensively. 🎨
