How it works
- Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, explaining the rules of the spray and getting everyone kitted out in protective gear. 🛡️
- The history of street art: A quick, engaging chat about how graffiti evolved from New York subways to the vibrant streets of Santiago. 🇨🇱
- Mastering the nozzle: Students learn 'can control' – how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients. 🎨
- Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, students plan their designs on paper, focusing on letter structure and flow. ✍️
- Outline and fill: Time to spray! We guide students through outlining their pieces and filling them with vibrant bursts of colour. 💥
- Highlighting and 3D: We teach the tricks of the trade, like adding 'shines' and 3D shadows to make the art pop off the surface. ✨
- The final outline: The 'power line' – adding a clean final border to make the artwork look sharp and professional. 🏆
- Group photo and cleanup: We celebrate the new masterpiece with a massive group photo before packing up our eco-friendly kit. 📸

Is the workshop safe for school-aged children?
Absolutely! At Graffitifun, 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 and ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We also use low-odour, high-quality spray paint to make the experience as comfortable and safe as possible for younger participants. We've hosted thousands of students across Europe and South America with a perfect safety record.
Can you come to our school or do we go to a studio?
We are incredibly flexible. We can host the workshop at your school premises in Santiago, perhaps on a playground wall or using large temporary wooden boards we set up. Alternatively, we can help arrange a location at one of the city's legal street art spots. Many schools prefer the convenience of us coming to them, which we are happy to do with our fully mobile setup.
How long does a typical school session last?
Our school workshops in Santiago usually range between 1.5 to 3 hours. We can tailor the duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots. For larger groups or full-day events, we can run multiple sessions back-to-back. We'll work with your teachers to ensure the timing is perfect and that every student has enough time to finish their masterpiece.
Do we need to provide any materials?
We've got it covered! We provide everything needed: professional spray paint, caps, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (whether that's a wall, boards, or individual canvases). We even bring sketches and inspiration sheets. The only thing the school needs to provide is the space and enthusiastic students. It's a completely 'plug and play' creative experience for teachers and staff.
What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?
The more the merrier! We specialise in large group dynamics. Typically, we keep a ratio of one professional artist per 15-20 students to ensure everyone gets hands-on guidance. For entire grade levels, we bring a team of backup artists to ensure the workshop runs smoothly without losing that personal touch. No group is too big for our Santiago street art team!
What age groups are these workshops suitable for?
Our workshops are designed for everyone from age 8 and up. We adjust our teaching style based on the age group. For primary school children, we focus more on fun shapes and colour blending. for teenagers, we dive deeper into tagging styles, 'wildstyle' lettering, and the social history of street art. It's a versatile educational tool for all key stages.
