Is the paint safe for school students to use?
Safety is our absolute top priority. We use low-odor, high-quality spray paints and provide all students with professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced professionals who begin every session with a comprehensive safety briefing. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and that students are supervised at all times to make the experience both fun and completely safe. 🛡️
Do we need to have a permanent wall at our school?
While we love the raw energy of street art, we don't need a permanent wall! We can set up mobile wooden partitions or large plastic-wrapped surfaces at your school's grounds. Alternatively, we can host your class at a professional local studio in Yokohama. This flexibility means we can bring the graffiti workshop to your doorstep without any permanent marks left behind on school property. 🏫
What is the minimum age for students to participate?
Our school workshops are tailored to the age of the students. We generally recommend the experience for children aged 8 and up, as they have the hand strength to operate the spray cans effectively. For younger primary students, we focus more on stencil work and design, while older secondary students dive deep into complex lettering and technical shading. We adapt our teaching style to match their skill level perfectly. 🎨
Do the students need to have any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We believe everyone has a hidden artist inside them. Our team of professional graffiti artists guides the students through every single step—from drawing their first 'tag' on paper to mastering the spray can. By the end of the session, even the students who 'can't draw' will be amazed at the masterpiece they've helped create. ✨
How long does a typical school session last?
A typical school workshop lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, practice sessions, and the final creation of a collaborative mural or individual canvases. We are very flexible and can work with your school's timetable to ensure the session fits perfectly into your morning or afternoon schedule. ⏱️
What materials are included in the workshop price?
Everything is included! We provide the spray paint, protective masks, gloves, overalls, and the surfaces (either canvases or mobile walls). Your school only needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic students. We handle the setup and the cleanup, ensuring the area is left exactly as we found it. It’s a completely hassle-free way to bring a high-impact creative arts program to your classroom. 🏆
