I offer spray painting workshops for schools from the 5th grade on. To ensure optimal supervision for the students and participants there is a maximum capacity of 20 participants per workshop. Within 1-2 days the students learn some easy spray painting techniques.
Due to the structured guidance throughout the workshop, great results can be achieved after only one day. The workshop has to take place outside. Apart from commonly used spray paints, there is also the possibility to use spray paints that are water-based. These are more environmentally-friendly and not harmful to health. The workshop is split into two parts:
1. part: In the morning the participants learn the necessary techniques and have enough time to practice them.
2. part: In the afternoon they will all get the opportunity to spray their own individual painting and to take it home.
For the students this workshop offers the opportunity to take a break from the school routine and to let their creativity run freely. Even with simple techniques, the results are very beautiful. This has a positive impact on students’ self-esteem and self-determination.
Past workshops have proven that the students take great pleasure in their own creative work. They had a good time within class and received the opportunity to be fully immersed in the world of spray painting.
The spray-painting workshop can be integrated into different school subjects and classes. For example, students can express their favorite poem, song lyrics or interpretation of a painting through spray paint. In a past workshop a class of high school students expressed their favorite poems through their paintings.
The students had the task to write a short version of their favorite poem and to express it by creating a spray painting. The subject of the poem had to be apparent in the picture. Through the exercise the students got to experience a different type of german class. For more inspiration you can check out the day-programs of other workshops I’ve led in the past. They are at the end of this page.
During the workshops, the students are sensitized to the illegality of spraying on public walls and to the fact that it is not tolerated. Additionally, the students can learn to unleash their creativity through spray painting on paper.
On request, I offer workshops for youth-meetups or would be happy to organize your next private or corporate event. The workshops contain different easy techniques that let you create your own paintings on paper or walls. For further information please contact me.
