How it works

  1. Introduction & Theory: We kick off with a brief history of urban art and discuss how it fits into modern education and the local Zilina art scene.
  2. Gear Up: Safety first! You’ll get kitted out in protective gear and learn about the different types of caps (nozzles) and paint pressures.
  3. The First Line: Our pro artists demonstrate 'can control.' You'll practice basic lines, dots, and fades on a practice surface to get a feel for the medium.
  4. Lettering & Style: We dive into 'Wildstyle' and 'Bubble' letters, helping you understand the anatomy of a graffiti tag and how to teach it to students.
  5. Stencil & Technique: Learn how to create and use stencils—a great entry point for younger students or those who are less confident with freehand drawing.
  6. Collaborative Mural: The highlight of the day! As a team, you’ll design and execute a large-scale mural, putting all your new skills into practice.
  7. Educational Integration: We wrap up with a discussion on assessment, lesson planning, and how to source affordable materials for your classroom.
  8. Cleanup & Certification: We handle the mess and provide you with the confidence (and the photos!) to show off your new professional skills.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior experience with spray paint to join the training?

Absolutely! Our training sessions in Zilina are specifically designed to be inclusive. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and nozzle types—before moving into complex mural techniques. Most art teachers find that their existing knowledge of colour theory and composition gives them a massive head start, and we provide the technical 'know-how' to apply those skills to a brick wall.

What safety equipment is provided and how do we handle fumes?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respirators, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. During the professional development session, we also provide a comprehensive health and safety briefing that you can use for your own lesson planning. We teach you how to set up a safe outdoor spray zone at your school in Zilina, ensuring both students and staff stay protected while being creative.

How long does a typical professional development workshop last?

We typically recommend 2 to 3 hours for a comprehensive Art Teacher Training session. This allows enough time for the initial theory, 'can-control' practice, and the completion of a collaborative piece. If you are looking for a more intensive Masterclass, we can extend the session or split it over two days. The goal is to ensure you feel confident enough to lead your own students by the time we finish.

Will I receive any teaching materials or lesson plans to take away?

Yes, one of the most valuable parts of our training is the 'Lesson Blueprint.' We provide you with a structured guide on how to integrate graffiti into the Slovak national curriculum. This includes tips on history, technique, and even how to manage art supplies on a budget. You’ll leave the workshop not just with a piece of art, but with a full scheme of work ready to go.

Can we do graffiti at my school even if we don't have a legal wall?

While we love painting on real walls, we understand schools have different facilities. We teach you various methods: using large-scale cellophane 'walls' wrapped between pillars, painting on large MDF boards, or using canvases. This flexibility ensures that whether you’re in a city centre school in Zilina or a rural campus, you can bring street art to your students without needing a permanent legal wall.

What is the ideal group size for these teacher training sessions?

Our sessions are highly interactive and designed for groups. We find that a group size of 5 to 15 teachers works best, as it allows for collaborative mural work while still ensuring everyone gets individual coaching from our professional artists. If you have a larger department or are joining forces with another school in the Zilina region, just let us know and we will bring extra instructors!
