Faunagraphic has never had a workshop same as the last, and is always introducing new activies that tie in with graffiti art as warm up sessions to understanding the artform
For example : Sketchbook sessions, marker pen art, fabric painting onto trucker caps and shoes, t-shirt designs sessions, graffiti letter style sessions for those who are more understanding of graffiti, and much more. All workshops vary and can be arranged to meet your groups requirements. Below is a basic overview on what Faunagraphic offers in a workshop.
- Graffiti Workshops : Introduce the history of graffiti, the variety of styles which people from all over the world create. Linking in the Hip Hop culture and breakdancing is popular and effective if working on similar projects. Faunagraphic is able to show some graffiti videos and books to help the group gain understanding and inspiration for what the may be able to create. Progression onto practising designs with spraycan, learning can control. These workshops can form into projects where the group may be creating a mural, or artwork to take home.
- Stencil Workshops : Similar to the Graffiti workshops, apart from looking at stencils and how they are used by artists, examples and interesting videos are available to show. Faunagraphic can create stencils of the groups photographs, portraits or images before the workshop. So they can get straight to learning and creating art with thier pre-made ready cut stencils which the participants can keep. Designs can also be transfered onto clothing and spray paint doesnt have to be the only medium.
- Mural Painting Workshops : Depending on the amount of time allocated, an introduction to graffiti and spray can art can be useful, planning and pre-design of a group mural can be planned in a series of workshops that Faunagraphic can advise and help progress design ideas. Mural painting workshops help groups to understand the important of sharing ideas and working together to pull thier designs together to create the finished image. If the mural is already planned, It is still advisable to give 30 minutes to understanding spraypaint and then planning the development of the wall and sketching out the design onto the surface.
