Frequently asked questions
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Absolutely. Safety is our main priority during every school session in Cancun. we provide high quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also choose outdoor or well ventilated areas to make sure the environment stays fresh and safe for all participants.
How long does a typical workshop last?
Most of our school workshops last between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching, and the actual painting process. If you have a specific school timetable to stick to, just let us know. We are very flexible and can adjust the pace to ensure your students get a full experience within your lesson blocks.
Do we need to provide our own materials?
Dont worry about a thing. We provide everything needed for a successful art day. This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective gear like masks and gloves, and the surfaces to paint on. We can bring large wooden boards or canvases, or even paint a designated school wall if you have one ready for a permanent mural.
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
We can accommodate almost any group size. For schools, we often work with single classes of 20 to 30 students, but we can also handle entire year groups by bringing in multiple artists. We keep our student to instructor ratio low to ensure everyone gets personal guidance. If you have a large group in Cancun, we will scale our team accordingly.
Can the workshop take place indoors?
Definitely. While we love working outdoors in the Cancun sun, we have plenty of indoor solutions too. We use low odour paints and set up protective floor coverings to keep your sports hall or art studio clean. However, if the weather is great, we always recommend an outdoor session for that authentic street art atmosphere and maximum ventilation.
Can you tailor the workshop to a specific educational theme?
Yes! Many schools ask us to focus on specific themes like environment, teamwork, or local Cancun history. Our artists can tailor the introductory talk and the final mural design to align with your current curriculum or school values. It is a brilliant way to make a theoretical subject come to life through a massive, colourful piece of art.
What age range is suitable for these workshops?
We generally recommend our workshops for students aged 8 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to handle the spray cans and the focus to follow safety instructions. For secondary schools and colleges, we dive deeper into advanced techniques and the history of the global street art movement, making it a sophisticated art lesson.
