Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead with a safety-first briefing, and we use low-odor, high-quality spray paint. During the session in Kobe, our instructors maintain constant supervision to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly while having a blast.
Do we need to travel to a specific studio in Kobe?
We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises in Kobe if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area with high ceilings. Alternatively, we can arrange a professional local studio or an outdoor urban location. We bring all the protective flooring and boards, so your school's property stays clean and paint-free.
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
The ideal age is usually 10 years and up, as they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans effectively. However, we offer adapted programs for younger primary school students using water-based markers or smaller cans. We tailor the complexity of the lesson to match the age and skill level of your specific student group.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our standard school workshops in Kobe typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the safety briefing, practicing basic techniques, and completing a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have a specific school schedule to stick to, we can easily shorten or extend the duration to fit your timetable perfectly.
Do students need prior drawing or painting skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Kobe-based mentors are experts at breaking down complex street art styles into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a natural artist or has never held a spray can, they will leave the session feeling proud of what they’ve created. It’s all about the experience!
What materials does the school need to provide?
We come fully prepared! We provide all the professional spray paint, caps, safety gear, canvases or boards, and sketching materials. Students just need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that they don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). We take care of everything else, including the setup and the cleanup.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Yes, we specialize in making the art meaningful! We can center the workshop around school values, a specific environmental theme, or a local Kobe landmark. Students can work together on one large mural that represents their class identity. This collaborative approach is fantastic for team building and encourages students to think about the message behind their art.
