How it works
- Introduction & safety: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to street art culture and a vital safety briefing on how to use the gear correctly. 🔥
- The tag creator: Students start by sketching their ideas on paper, learning how to structure letters and develop their own unique 'tag'.
- Can control 101: We move to the practice wall where our artists show the kids how to handle the spray cans, nozzle types, and different spraying techniques.
- First lines: Time to get messy! Students start applying their first layers of paint, focusing on 'filling' and getting a feel for the medium.
- Developing the piece: We guide the group through adding shadows, highlights, and the all-important 3D effects to make their work pop. 🎨
- The outline: This is where the magic happens. We teach them how to do a clean 'final outline' to sharpen the artwork.
- Character & flair: Students add final details, splashes, or backgrounds to give their masterpiece individual personality. ✨
- Group gallery walkthrough: We finish with a grand reveal where students present their work to the class and celebrate each other's creativity. 🏆

Frequently asked questions
What equipment do we need to provide for the workshop?
We provide everything! Your students will have access to high-quality low-pressure spray cans (which are easier for beginners to control), protective overalls, gloves, and high-standard FFP3 respiratory masks. We also provide the canvases or boards for the final masterpieces. All you need to bring is plenty of enthusiasm and clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We handle the setup and the cleanup!
Is it safe for children and teenagers to use spray paint?
Safety is our absolute number one priority. We use high-quality safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our artists are highly experienced in managing large groups of students and provide strict safety briefings before anyone touches a spray can. We also ensure the workspace is well-ventilated. In Xi'an, we often work in open-air spaces or large halls to ensure maximum airflow and safety for everyone involved.
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. Our professional artists guide the students through every single step. By the end of the session, even students who claim they 'can't draw a stick figure' are usually amazed by the vibrant, professional-looking street art they've created.
How long does a typical school workshop last?
Flexibility is our middle name. While most school workshops last between 1.5 to 3 hours, we can tailor the duration to fit your specific school timetable. Whether you want a quick taster session during an art class or a full-day intensive creative takeover, we can make it work. Just let us know your schedule, and we will build the perfect graffiti programme to fit your needs.
Can we paint on the actual school walls?
While we love the idea of painting a permanent mural, it usually requires specific permissions. Most of our school workshops are done on large individual canvases or specialized 'graffiti walls' that we bring along. This way, the students can actually take their artwork home or display it in the school hallways. If your school has a specific wall you'd like to permanently decorate, let us know and we can discuss the requirements!
Can the workshop be linked to our current school curriculum?
Yes, absolutely! We can easily incorporate your current curriculum topics into the art session. Whether you're studying history, environmental issues, or local Xi'an culture, we can make that the 'theme' of the graffiti pieces. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce classroom learning through a physical, creative medium. The students won't even realise they are 'studying' because they'll be having too much fun with the spray cans!
Is this activity suitable for students with special educational needs?
We believe everyone should have the chance to be creative. Our workshops are highly inclusive and can be adapted for students with various learning needs or physical disabilities. Because graffiti is a very physical and visual medium, it often resonates deeply with students who might struggle in a traditional classroom environment. Please let us know ahead of time about any specific requirements so we can ensure the best experience for everyone.
