How it works
- Introduction & History: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, exploring the evolution of street art from NYC subways to the vibrant streets of PJ.
- Safety Briefing: Students get kitted out in protective gear while learning how to use the equipment responsibly and safely.
- Can Control: Our pros demonstrate basic techniques—dots, lines, and fades—and let the students get a feel for the pressure of the nozzle.
- Sketching the Vision: In groups, students brainstorm their concepts and sketch out their 'tags' or 'pieces' on paper before moving to the wall.
- Outlining: The exciting part! Students take their cans to the wall to lay down the first outlines of their collaborative mural.
- Filling & Shading: We teach them how to blend colours and add depth, bringing their two-dimensional sketches to life with vibrant fills.
- The Final Flourish: Adding highlights and 'force fields' (outer glows) to make the artwork pop and give it that professional street art finish.
- Feedback & Photos: We wrap up with a group gallery walk to celebrate the hard work, followed by a professional photoshoot of the masterpiece!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for every school session in Petaling Jaya. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all students with protective gloves, masks, and aprons. Our professional artists are experienced in working with children and teenagers, ensuring a supervised, controlled, and tidy environment where everyone can express their creativity without any risks. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spots to keep the air fresh.
Do students need any previous art experience?
No prior artistic skill is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and beginner-friendly. We guide the students through the very basics—from how to hold a spray can to creating simple shapes and shadows. Whether a student is a natural-born illustrator or someone who usually struggles with a paintbrush, they’ll find success and pride in the bold, vibrant results of spray art. It’s all about the experience!
How long does a typical school workshop last?
We recommend a session length of between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different spray techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period schedule or turn it into a full-day 'art takeover' event. The goal is to ensure no one feels rushed while keeping the energy high.
Do we need to provide any materials?
We’ve got you covered! We provide everything needed for a successful creative session. This includes all spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective gear (gloves, masks, and overalls), and the 'canvas' (which could be large boards, cellophane walls, or even a designated school wall). Our team handles the setup and the heavy cleaning afterwards, so the teachers can simply relax and enjoy the transformation.
What are the educational benefits of the workshop?
Street art is a fantastic tool for team building and boosting confidence. In our Petaling Jaya school workshops, students often work in small groups to create a large-scale mural. This requires communication, negotiation over design choices, and collaborative problem-solving. It’s a brilliant way to break down social barriers and help students see their peers in a new, creative light while working toward a common goal.
Where in Petaling Jaya does the workshop take place?
We are very flexible! If your school has a suitable outdoor area, courtyard, or undercover car park, we can come directly to you. If not, we can arrange for the workshop to take place at a creative space in Petaling Jaya. We use mobile graffiti walls (cellophane stretched between poles) which are eco-friendly and leave zero permanent marks on your school premises, making it a hassle-free experience for the facilities team.
What is the ideal age range for the students?
Our workshops are most effective for students aged 10 and up (Upper Primary and Secondary). At this age, they have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans and the maturity to follow safety instructions. For younger students, we can adapt the workshop using water-based markers or chalk-based sprays, ensuring that the 'Graffitifun' experience is accessible and age-appropriate for your specific group of learners.
