How does this training benefit my professional development as an art teacher?

Art teachers find this workshop incredibly useful because it bridges the gap between traditional fine art and contemporary street culture. You’ll learn how to manage a classroom full of spray cans safely, how to teach lettering and layering techniques, and how to integrate street art history into your existing curriculum. It’s about giving you a fresh, exciting tool to engage students who might otherwise struggle with traditional mediums.

I have never used a spray can before; is this training suitable for me?

Absolutely! While we cover advanced techniques, the training is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a confident instructor. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex 'wildstyle' elements. We focus on the 'how-to-teach' aspect as much as the 'how-to-do' aspect, ensuring you feel comfortable leading your own students later on.

What safety measures are in place during the teacher training sessions?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 masks, gloves, and protective clothing to ensure a toxin-free experience. During the training, we also teach you how to set up a safe workshop environment in a school setting, including ventilation requirements and fire safety protocols. You'll leave knowing exactly how to keep your students safe while they explore their creativity.

Do I need to bring my own materials or spray paint?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide array of professional spray cans, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gear, and large canvases or designated walls to practice on. We also provide digital resources and teaching hand-outs that you can take back to your school. Just wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on!

How long does a typical professional development session last?

The training typically lasts between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on the depth of the modules you choose. We offer intensive half-day sessions that cover the essentials, as well as more comprehensive full-day programmes for departments or groups of teachers. We are flexible and can tailor the duration to fit your school’s professional development schedule or 'studiedag' requirements.

Can this training help me engage students who are normally disinterested in art?

Definitely. Graffiti is a fantastic way to reach 'at-risk' youth or students who feel disconnected from traditional school subjects. It encourages self-expression, builds confidence, and teaches spatial awareness. Our training includes a specific module on using street art as a tool for social-emotional learning and classroom management, helping you turn a 'rebellious' art form into a positive educational force.
