Our professional Art Instructor will be guiding the kids and teens to create a “tag” or stylisation of your name/nickname using bold colours, abstraction and icons of society.
Graffiti art may be created with various tools and methods. The process of making Graffiti include design and conceptualisation, drawing, and painting. Spray painting is seen as the main medium of Graffiti art or Street art.
Abound with creativity and expression, Graffiti art is often done as large mural art along streets and has also attracted much attention with the notoriety of famous artists like Banksy. Graffiti carries a rebellious and socio-political connotation, often existing on the fringes of the law.
Graffiti often involves stylized lettering, tags, and intricate designs created with spray paint cans.
Graffiti art is said to be a unique and expressive form of art that encourages freedom of expression and often uses bold colours, abstraction and icons of society.

Graffiti Spraying Demo by our Instructor
In this course, you will learn the following:
Writers (as graffiti artists are often called) employ their unique lettering styles, color combinations, and intricate designs to establish their individual identities. Techniques such as fading, shadowing, and 3D effects are commonly used to enhance the visual impact of graffiti pieces.
Spray paint artists use stencils, masking techniques, and a variety of tools to create intricate and detailed compositions on various surfaces.
Layering – This technique involves applying multiple layers of color and texture to add depth and dimension to the design. This technique can be achieved with the help of stencils or by painting several layers of paint freehand.
Stenciling – This is a popular technique for creating clean and precise designs. Use a cutting tool like a craft knife or laser cutter to make your own stencils, or buy pre-made stencils online or at an art store.
Freehand – This is the simplest technique to create graffiti art and involves using spray paint to create designs and letters freehand. This technique can be difficult to master, but allows for a high level of creativity and spontaneity.
