How it works
- Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy intro, explaining the history of graffiti and covering all the important safety rules for using spray cans.
- The Basics: Students learn 'can control'—how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and create different line widths.
- Sketching Your Tag: Every student gets to design their own unique 'tag' or nickname, sketching it out on paper before moving to the 'wall'.
- First Sprays: Under the guidance of our pros, students take their first steps on the practice surface, getting a feel for the paint.
- Technique Training: We teach advanced tricks like 'fading', 'outlining', and 'shading' to make the artwork pop and look professional.
- Individual or Group Piece: Depending on your choice, students work on their own canvases or join forces for a massive collaborative mural.
- Final Touches: Our artists help students add those sharp 3D effects and highlights that really bring the graffiti to life.
- The Big Reveal: We finish the session with a group photo and a 'gallery walk' to admire everyone's creative hard work!

Frequently asked questions
Is the paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our spray paints are low-odour and we always conduct our school workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists are experienced in managing large groups of children and teenagers, ensuring everyone follows safety protocols while having an absolute blast expressing themselves.
What is the minimum age for the Tanga school workshops?
Generally, we recommend our workshops for students aged 8 and up. This is primarily because students need a certain level of hand strength and coordination to operate the spray cans effectively. For younger primary school groups, we can adapt the session with stencils and simplified techniques to ensure everyone feels successful and goes home with a masterpiece they are proud of.
Do the students need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create simple lines. Even students who claim they 'can't draw' are usually shocked by what they can achieve within two hours. It's a fantastic confidence-builder for kids who might struggle with traditional academic subjects.
What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?
Since Tanga can get some tropical rain, we always plan for a backup. If your school has a covered outdoor area, a large shed, or a well-ventilated gymnasium with high ceilings, we can usually continue the workshop there. If the weather looks truly uncooperative, we can coordinate with you to reschedule for a clearer day to ensure the best possible experience.
Can we choose a specific theme for our school mural?
Absolutely! Graffiti is a brilliant way to explore themes like local history, environmental conservation, or school values. We can work with your teaching staff to incorporate specific slogans, colours, or symbols into the final mural. This makes the workshop not just an art lesson, but a powerful cross-curricular tool that reinforces what the students are learning in the classroom.
Does every student get to create their own piece of art?
Each student usually gets to practice their individual 'tag' and basic techniques on their own practice surface. For the grand finale, we often have the group collaborate on a large-scale mural or individual canvases that they can keep. In Tanga, many schools love the collaborative mural option as it creates a lasting piece of art that beautifies the school grounds for years to come.
What materials does the school need to provide?
We bring everything! Graffitifun provides the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles), gloves, masks, protective clothing, and the surfaces to paint on (whether that's plastic film or canvases). The only thing your school needs to provide is an outdoor space and enthusiastic students ready to get creative. We take care of all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.
