Is the graffiti workshop safe for young students?

Safety is our absolute priority in Mercedes. We provide all students with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter fumes, as well as disposable gloves and protective suits to keep school uniforms clean. Our professional artists conduct a thorough safety briefing before any spray can is touched, ensuring a controlled, respectful, and secure environment for everyone involved throughout the creative process.

Can you host the workshop directly at our school?

Absolutely! Our school workshops are fully mobile. Whether you want to host the session on your school playground, in a sports hall, or against a specific campus wall, we bring the entire studio to you. We serve all areas in and around Mercedes, ensuring your students can enjoy this artistic experience without the logistical headache or cost of arranging external transport.

How long does a typical school session last?

We recommend allowing between 1.5 to 3 hours for a comprehensive school workshop. This timeframe allows us to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We are very flexible and can easily adapt the session duration to fit into your specific school timetable or double-period slots.

Do we need to provide any materials?

We take care of everything! Graffitifun provides premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear, and the 'canvas' (which could be large plastic film, wooden panels, or a designated wall). You just need to provide the space and a group of enthusiastic students ready to learn a new skill.

What age groups are these workshops suitable for?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for different ages! For primary schools, we focus more on simple shapes and collaborative play. For secondary students in Mercedes, we dive deeper into technical skills like shading, 'wildstyle' lettering, and the cultural impact of street art. We always tailor the complexity of the lesson to the age group we are teaching.

What if the students have no previous art experience?

Definitely not! We believe everyone has a creative side. Our professional instructors are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. Even students who claim they 'can't draw' will walk away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about building confidence and having fun with the medium.

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Mercedes school? Beyond just being heaps of fun, street art is a powerful educational tool that reaches students in ways traditional media might not. Plus, we've got the experience to make it run like clockwork! 🎤💪

Boosts Confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come to life helps students realize their own potential.
Teamwork in Action: Our collective murals require communication and cooperation to succeed.
Cultural Relevance: Connect students with a modern art form they see every day on the streets of Uruguay.
Professional Guidance: Learn from real artists who live and breathe the culture, not just teachers reading from a book.
Inclusive Art: Graffiti is a great leveller—it doesn't matter if you're "good at drawing"; everyone can contribute something awesome.
Zero Financial Risk: With our pay-after-the-event policy, your school budget is always protected. 🏆

Krok za krokom

Intro & inspiration: We kick things off with a high-energy look at the history of graffiti and how it evolved into modern street art.
Safety first: Every student gets kitted out in protective gear and learns the essential 'do’s and don’ts' of using spray cans.
Control the can: Before hitting the big canvas, we practice basic lines, dots, and pressure control to get everyone comfortable.
Sketching the vision: Students brainstorm their designs on paper, focusing on letters, characters, or a collective school theme.
The big outline: It's time to go large! We help the students scale up their sketches onto the main surface using base colours.
Fill & flow: This is where the magic happens as we add vibrant colours, gradients, and 3D effects to the artwork.
Final touches: Our pro artists show the kids how to add sharp outlines and highlights that make the pieces 'pop' off the wall.
Group photo & cleanup: We celebrate the hard work with a group gallery walk and photos before taking care of all the tidy-up.

Miestna kultúra

Mercedes, often called 'La Coqueta del Hum', is a city that breathes culture, from the Jazz à la Calle festival to its stunning murals along the Río Negro. We love bringing our workshops here because the local community truly values creative expression. 🌊✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Mercedes is home to several high-quality street art projects that decorate the city's old walls? It’s basically an open-air gallery, making your students part of a long-standing local tradition! 🏆

By bringing a street art workshop to your school, you're connecting your students to the wider artistic movement found in other Uruguayan hubs like Montevideo or Salto, all while staying right here in Soriano.

Ceny

Every school project in Mercedes is unique—some want a massive mural on a gym wall, while others prefer individual canvases for each student. Because of this, we don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. 🏷️

Prices depend on your group size, location, and the specific setup you’re after.
