How it works
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro about street art culture and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear correctly.
- First lines: Students grab their first cans and practice basic pressure control by painting lines, dots, and simple shapes on practice boards.
- The tag: Every student learns to design their own unique 'tag' or nickname, focusing on flow and letter structure.
- Concept sketching: Whether it's a individual canvas or a group mural, we help the kids sketch out their grand vision using chalk or light paint.
- Filling and fading: This is where the color happens! We teach the techniques for smooth fills and cool color gradients (fades).
- Outlining: The 'pro' step. Students learn to refine their work with sharp outlines that make the colors pop off the wall.
- Detailing and highlights: We add 3D effects, 'shines', and final flourishes to give the artwork that authentic street art look.
- The big reveal: We step back as a group to admire the collective work, take photos, and discuss the creative journey.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school event in Gwangju. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all students. Our spray paints are selected for their safety profile, and our instructors are professionally trained to manage groups in a controlled, safe environment. We always ensure proper ventilation and clear safety briefings before a single can is shaken.
Can you host the workshop at our school?
We are very flexible! While we love hosting workshops at local Gwangju creative spots, we can also bring the entire setup to your school campus. We use mobile graffiti walls or large canvases to protect your school's property. This makes it incredibly easy for teachers to organize the day without worrying about transportation logistics for large groups of students.
What materials are included in the school package?
Everything is included! We provide the spray cans, caps, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface to paint on (canvases or mobile walls). Our professional street artists guide the students from start to finish. You only need to make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes—just in case a little bit of 'art' wanders off the canvas!
Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. Most students in Gwangju have never held a spray can before, and that’s part of the magic. We start with basic techniques like making dots and lines before moving on to letters and filling. Our artists are there to coach every student, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
A typical school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school's period schedule. Shorter sessions focus more on the 'experience' and basic tagging, while longer 3-hour sessions allow students to plan and execute a more detailed, collaborative mural or individual canvas project.
What is the maximum group size for a school event?
We don't have a strict maximum because we work with a large team of backup artists. Whether you have a small art club of 15 students or an entire grade of 100+, we scale our staff to ensure every student gets personal attention. For very large groups, we often rotate students through different creative stations to keep the energy high and the learning focused.
