How it works
- Intro & History: We kick things off with a cool look at the evolution of street art from NYC subways to the streets of Algiers. 🔥
- The Masterplan: Students brainstorm ideas and sketch out their designs on paper, learning about layout and 'flow'.
- Gear Up: Safety first! Everyone gets fitted with their protective suits, gloves, and professional masks.
- Can Control: Our artists demonstrate essential techniques, from 'fat caps' for filling to 'skinny caps' for sharp outlines.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Students get a feel for the pressure of the spray can by practicing lines and shapes on their own section. 🎨
- The Big Mural: Working together as a team, the students start applying their design to the main boards or wall.
- Add the Details: This is where the magic happens—adding highlights, 3D shadows, and those final 'pops' of colour.
- Final Touches & Cleanup: We tidy up the area while the students admire their handiwork and snap some photos. 📸
- The Big Reveal: A final group presentation where students explain their creative choices and celebrate their collective masterpiece.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We also use low-odour professional paints and choose well-ventilated outdoor spaces or suitable indoor areas to ensure a healthy and secure environment for all participants.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
The beauty of street art is that it's for everyone! No previous drawing or painting experience is necessary. Our artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps that anyone can follow. We focus on the 'fun' element of creativity, encouraging students to express themselves without the pressure of being 'perfect.' You'll be amazed at the high-quality murals students can produce even on their first try!
How long does a typical school session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural. However, we are incredibly flexible and can adapt the duration to fit into your specific school timetable, whether it’s a short double-period session or a full day of arts.
What materials are provided by Graffitifun?
We take care of everything so you don't have to! Our team brings all the necessary professional spray cans in a wide variety of colours, specialized caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be large boards, plastic wrap, or a designated wall). We even provide sketches and inspiration boards. All we need from the school is a suitable workspace and some enthusiastic students ready to get messy!
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Yes, we can! We love integrating educational themes into our workshops. Whether you want to focus on local Algiers history, environmental awareness, anti-bullying, or school values, our artists can help students design a mural that reflects those specific messages. It’s a fantastic way to combine physical art skills with social studies, literature, or citizenship classes, making the learning experience truly multi-dimensional.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We recommend a minimum of 10 students, but we can cater to very large groups as well. For larger cohorts, we simply bring in more of our professional background artists to ensure every student gets personal guidance and support. Whether it's a single class or an entire year group, we have the logistical capacity and the backup staff to make sure the event runs smoothly without any hitches.
What happens if it rains on the day?
If the workshop is held outdoors and the weather isn't cooperating, we have several options. We can often move the session to a covered outdoor area or use an indoor space with appropriate ventilation and floor protection. Because we have local backup artists and a flexible schedule, we can also look at rescheduling to a better day. We always work closely with the school to ensure the workshop happens safely.
