Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Safety is our top priority for every school session in Atlanta. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep students clean and safe. Our instructors are professional artists who have extensive experience managing large groups of youth. We use low-odor, high-quality spray paint and typically conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved.
Are these workshops suitable for all ages?
Absolutely! We tailor our workshops to fit various age groups, from elementary students to high schoolers. For younger kids, we focus more on simple shapes, color blending, and creative expression. For older students, we dive deeper into the history of street art, advanced technical skills, and social commentary. We adjust our teaching style and equipment to match the developmental stage of the group.
Where do the school workshops take place?
We can host the workshop at several legal street art locations around Atlanta, or we can bring the experience directly to your school campus. If we work on-site, we use mobile wooden panels or large canvases to protect your school's property. This allows students to create a permanent mural for the school or individual pieces they can take home or display in the hallway.
How long does a typical school session last?
Most of our educational workshops last between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for an introductory session on history and safety, a practice period for mastering the cans, and the final creation of a collaborative mural or individual projects. We can easily adjust the duration to fit into your school’s standard class periods or a dedicated field trip schedule.
What materials are included in the package?
We provide everything needed for a successful art day. This includes hundreds of spray cans in various colors, specialized nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the painting surfaces. Your school only needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students. We even handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving your campus exactly as we found it.
What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?
Weather in Georgia can be unpredictable! If we have planned an outdoor session and the forecast looks bad, we can often move the workshop indoors if there is a large, well-ventilated space like a gymnasium or covered parking area. Alternatively, we can reschedule the event to a better day. Since we have backup artists available, we are very flexible with logistics and timing.
