Is the graffiti workshop safe for school students?
Absolutely! We take safety very seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our paints are professional-grade but used in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially designated indoor spaces. Our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for teachers and students alike in Sandnes.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, sketching, technique practice, and the final creation. However, we are totally flexible! If you have a specific school schedule or a 'cultural week' project in Rogaland, we can adapt the timing to fit your lesson blocks or extend it for a full-day intensive.
What happens if it rains on the day?
While we love working outdoors to get that authentic street vibe, we have 'Plan B' solutions for the Norwegian weather! We can set up temporary plastic shielding in sports halls or use large canvases in well-ventilated indoor spaces. If the Sandnes rain gets too heavy, we’ll make sure the creativity keeps flowing under cover without any mess to the school property.
Do the students need to have prior drawing skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist-mentors guide the kids through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering basic shapes. We find that students who don't usually enjoy traditional 'fine art' often thrive in graffiti because it's more physical and forgiving. It’s a great way to build confidence in every student.
Do we need to provide any materials?
You don't have to lift a finger! Graffitifun provides everything: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps, gloves, masks, protective suits, and the 'canvases' (whether that's large wooden boards, cling-film walls, or actual school walls). We handle the set-up and the clean-up, leaving nothing behind but great memories and amazing artwork.
Can the workshop be integrated into the school curriculum?
Graffiti is a fantastic tool for exploring modern history, urban sociology, and the thin line between vandalism and art. We can tailor our introductory talk to include the history of New York subway art, the evolution of local Norwegian street art, and the importance of legal 'Hall of Fame' spots. It’s a perfect practical supplement to social studies or art history.
What is the recommended age for participants?
We work with a wide range of ages! We generally recommend the workshops for students aged 10 and up, as they have the hand strength and coordination to operate the spray cans. For younger primary students, we can offer modified workshops using paint markers or stencils. It's a hit for everything from middle school graduations to high school creative arts programmes.
