Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, for every student. Our spray paints are selected for their safety standards, and our experienced artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We maintain a controlled environment where students can explore their creativity without risks, making it a worry-free experience for teachers and parents alike across Manaus.
Where in Manaus do these workshops take place?
We can host the workshop almost anywhere! If your school has a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated indoor space in Manaus, we can come to you. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at some of the city's vibrant local street art spots or a private studio. We bring all the protective floor and wall coverings needed to ensure the site remains clean and tidy after we leave.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Our school workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfect for a deep dive into graffiti history, a hands-on technique practice session, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We are also happy to adapt the schedule to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots. If you have a larger group, we can rotate classes throughout the school day.
Do students need prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels. Whether a student is a natural-born artist or has never held a spray can before, our professional artists guide them every step of the way. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring every participant feels proud of what they create. It’s about expression and teamwork, not just technical perfection. Every student in Manaus will leave feeling like a pro!
What materials are included in the workshop package?
We handle everything! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional spray paint, caps, gloves, masks, and protective overalls. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s individual boards for students to take home or a large communal wall for a collaborative school mural. You just need to show up in some old clothes and bring your enthusiasm. We even take care of the setup and the cleanup afterwards!
How does this workshop fit into the school curriculum?
Graffiti is a fantastic medium for teaching contemporary art history, colour theory, and typography. Beyond art, it’s a powerful tool for discussing social issues, urban renovation, and community identity. Many Manaus schools use our workshops to foster teamwork and boost confidence. We can even tailor the theme of the workshop to align with specific subjects like geography, history, or Portuguese literature to make it a truly interdisciplinary experience.
