Frequently asked questions
Is the spray paint safe for school students to use?
Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor spots or large indoor spaces in La Paz to ensure a healthy environment for everyone involved. You can rest easy knowing the kids are in safe hands.
How long does a typical school graffiti workshop last?
We are super flexible! While we recommend 1.5 to 3 hours to get the full creative experience, we can tailor the session to fit into a double art period or a full transition day. If you have a specific schedule to meet, just let us know. We handle everything from setup to pack-down, so you don't have to worry about the logistics interfering with the school bell.
Will the spray paint make a mess of the school premises?
Don't worry, we're experts at managing the mess! We provide protective floor coverings and ensures that the 'graffiti zone' is well-defined. We also provide 'designer' protective suits for the students to keep their school uniforms paint-free. Our team takes care of all the cleanup, leaving your school grounds exactly as we found them—well, except for the amazing new artwork!
Do the students need to have any drawing skills beforehand?
No prior artistic skill is needed at all. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and encouraging for everyone. We teach the basics—from how to hold a can to creating shadows and highlights—in a way that’s easy to follow. You’ll be amazed at how students who usually shy away from art class find their voice and confidence through the bold, tactile nature of street art.
Can we choose a specific theme for the mural?
Of course! We love it when schools have a specific theme, such as 'environmental awareness,' 'local history,' or 'community values.' Integrating the workshop into your existing curriculum makes the experience even more impactful. We can help the students design a mural that reflects your school's ethos or a particular subject they are currently studying in class. It's education, but way more colourful!
What is the maximum group size for a school session?
We can comfortably accommodate small classes or entire year groups. For larger numbers, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to maintain a high level of individual attention and safety. We’ve managed large-scale events across Bolivia, so whether you have 15 students or 150, we have the experience and the 'backup artist' system to ensure the day runs perfectly without any hitches.
