How it works
- Introduction & Culture: We start with a high-energy talk about the history of graffiti and how it evolved from the streets into respected galleries.
- Safety & Gear: Every student gets geared up with masks and gloves. We explain how to handle the spray cans safely.
- The Sketching Phase: Students grab paper and pencils to brainstorm their designs and 'tags' under our guidance.
- Can Control 101: We head to the walls! Students learn basic techniques like making thin lines, thick fades, and dots.
- Applying the Base: Time to go big! Students start filling in their designs with vibrant colours.
- Detailing & Outlining: This is where the magic happens. We teach them how to make their art 'pop' with sharp outlines and highlights.
- Masterpiece Reveal: The group steps back to admire their massive collaborative mural. It is a great moment for photos!
- Clean-up & Wrap-up: We take care of the mess while the students discuss what they learned about art and teamwork.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and overalls to all students. Our professional artists are trained to supervise school groups and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly. We only use high-quality paints, and whenever possible, we conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor spaces to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone involved.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops usually last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, safety briefing, sketching, and the actual spray painting session. We can also adjust the timing to fit your specific school schedule or period breaks. Whether it is a quick intensive session or a full-day art immersion, we make sure every student gets plenty of time with a spray can in hand.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides all the professional spray cans, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether it is a temporary wall, boards, or a permanent school mural). You just need to make sure the students wear old clothes and shoes—just in case a little bit of 'creative chaos' gets on them. We handle the setup and the cleanup, so the school staff can relax and enjoy the process.
Where in Kolkata can these workshops be held?
We are very flexible with locations. We can set up mobile graffiti walls right on your school playground, sports field, or even in a well-ventilated hall. If you'd prefer to take the students on a field trip, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at one of our partner legal street art locations in Kolkata. We bring the art to you, making it super easy for teachers to organise.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our expert artists break down the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to 'filling' and 'outlining.' We find that even students who usually claim they 'can't draw' end up creating incredible pieces of street art. It is all about building confidence and having fun with a new medium.
What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?
Street art is a fantastic way to teach kids about teamwork, respect for public property (the difference between art and vandalism), and creative problem-solving. It encourages 'outside the box' thinking and can be easily linked to subjects like History, Social Studies, or contemporary Culture. Plus, it is a huge confidence booster for students who might struggle with traditional academic subjects but find their voice through visual expression.
Do we need to pay in advance for the school group?
No, you don't have to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. We want to make the booking process as stress-free as possible for schools and educational institutions. You can book your date, and we will handle the rest, ensuring a fantastic experience for your students before the final invoice is settled.
