- Can control: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, how to swap nozzles (caps), and how to control the pressure for different effects.
- Sketching the vision: Students grab markers and paper to brainstorm their designs, focusing on bold letters and vibrant colour schemes. 🎨
- First lines: Time to hit the surface! Students practice basic shapes and lines to get a feel for the spray paint’s flow.
- Filling & fading: We teach the secrets of 'filling in' and creating smooth gradients (fades) to make the artwork pop with depth. 🔥
- The outline boost: Watch the art come to life as we show students how to add sharp outlines and high-contrast 'highlights'.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints that are low-pressure and easy for students to control. Every participant is provided with a protective suit, gloves, and a professional-grade mask to ensure no fumes or paint get where they shouldn't. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a secure and creative environment for everyone involved.
Where in Kisangani do the workshops take place?
We are very flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds in Kisangani if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. Alternatively, we can help arrange a local creative spot in the city. Most schools prefer the convenience of having us come to them, as it saves on transport logistics and allows the students to create art in their own familiar environment.
Can we choose a specific theme for the artwork?
Absolutely! Many schools in the DR Congo use our workshops to highlight specific educational themes like environmental awareness, history, or team building. Just let us know your goals in advance, and our artists will tailor the introductory talk and the final mural design to reflect those topics. It’s a fantastic way to make curriculum subjects more engaging and memorable through visual storytelling and hands-on participation.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our standard school workshops typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for a solid introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. However, we can adapt the timing to fit your school's specific timetable. We offer both half-day intensive sessions and shorter, introductory modules depending on your curriculum needs and the number of students participating.
What materials do we need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional spray paint, caps, protective clothing (overalls, masks, and gloves), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s large canvases, wooden boards, or a designated school wall. You don’t need to worry about a thing. We even bring plastic sheeting to protect the ground, ensuring that the only thing getting a makeover is the artwork itself.
How much does a school workshop in Kisangani cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of students and the duration of the session, but prices generally range from FC50,000 to FC120,000 per person. Larger school groups often benefit from a lower per-student rate. Because every school project in Kisangani is unique, we recommend hitting the 'request a quote' button so we can give you a precise estimate tailored to your specific group size and requirements.
Do students need previous art experience to participate?
No artistic experience is required at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who think they can't draw a straight line to budding young artists. Our instructors guide the students through every step, starting with basic 'tagging' and moving up to complex 'pieces'. It’s all about building confidence, encouraging expression, and having a great time while learning a new contemporary urban skill.
