How it works
- Introduction & History: We start with a high-energy intro, talking about the roots of graffiti and how it evolved from the streets of New York to the vibrant walls of Cartagena.
- Safety & Gear Up: Students get fitted with their protective masks, gloves, and suits. We explain how to use the equipment safely and respectfully.
- Technique Demo: Our pro artists show the basics – from "fat caps" for filling to "skinny caps" for those sharp outlines and details.
- Sketching Your Vision: Before the paint flies, students brainstorm their ideas on paper, planning their tags, characters, or school-themed designs.
- Mastering the Can: Students head to the canvas to practice distal control, learning how pressure and distance change the spray.
- The Main Event: The big creative phase! Students work together to bring their collective vision to life on large canvases or temporary walls.
- Refining & Outlining: Our artists help the kids add those final "pops" – highlights, shadows, and clean edges that make the art truly stand out.
- The Big Reveal: We finish with a group photo and a "gallery walk" where students can explain their work and celebrate their classmates' creativity.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly do the workshops take place?
While street art is usually done on walls, for school groups in Cartagena, we typically use large professional canvases or mobile partitions. This means the school keeps a permanent artwork to display in the hallways or playground! If your school has a specific wall you'd like us to paint permanently, we can certainly discuss mural options as well. It's a great way to revitalise old school buildings with fresh, student-led designs.
Is it safe for students to use spray paint?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to every student to ensure they don't inhale any fumes. We also provide gloves and protective suits to keep those school uniforms clean! Our graffiti artists are experienced in managing large groups and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly. We always recommend choosing an outdoor or well-ventilated area on the school grounds for the best experience.
What if the students have no artistic experience?
Absolutely! Our workshops are designed for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. Our professional artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps—from holding the can correctly to mastering basic shapes. Most students are amazed at what they can create in just a couple of hours. It’s all about building confidence and showing that everyone has a creative side waiting to be unleashed. Fun is the main goal!
Can you accommodate large school groups?
We are very flexible with group sizes. We can host intimate sessions for a small art class or large-scale events for an entire year group. For very large schools in Cartagena, we often rotate groups throughout the day or have multiple artists working simultaneously. Just let us know your student count, and we will tailor the numbers of tutors and materials to ensure every child gets plenty of hands-on painting time.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Standard school workshops in Cartagena usually last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This provides enough time for the safety briefing, sketching, and the actual painting session. However, we can also offer half-day or full-day programmes if you want to dive deeper into street art history or create a more complex mural. We’ll work around your school timetable to make sure the workshop fits perfectly into your day.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school workshop?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is that you don't have to worry about upfront costs. You only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy with the results. We believe in the quality of our service and want schools to feel 100% confident when booking with us. We accept various payment methods and will provide a full invoice for your school's accounts department.
Can the workshop follow a specific theme or lesson plan?
Yes, we love incorporating specific school values or curriculum topics! Whether you want to focus on Colombian history, environmental awareness, or school spirit, our artists can help students design a piece that reflects these themes. It’s a brilliant way to make the workshop more educational and meaningful. Just mention your ideas when you get in touch, and we’ll brainstorm some creative ways to bring them to life!
