Street Artist Inspires Petroc Creative Arts Students with Spray Painting Workshop

Petroc Creative Arts students were treated to an unforgettable experience this month when acclaimed street artist @maumauart visited the college to share his artistic journey. Known for his bold and vibrant spray paint creations, @maumauart spoke with students about how he first discovered street art, the challenges he faced turning his passion into a profession, and the opportunities that have shaped his career.

The visit wasn’t just about storytelling, though. Students gathered to watch a live spray painting demonstration, where they saw first-hand the techniques and creative flair that have made @maumauart’s work so distinctive.

Inspired and eager to try their hand at the craft, students were thrilled when @maumauart returned the following week to guide them through creating their very own spray paint artworks. The collaborative workshops gave students the chance to experiment with colour, form, and expression in new and exciting ways, under the expert eye of a professional artist.

The results have been nothing short of spectacular. The student pieces, filled with creativity and individuality, are now proudly on display at the college, showcasing the fresh talent and imagination of Petroc’s young artists.

The visit from @maumauart has left a lasting impression, sparking inspiration and opening up new possibilities for students pursuing their own creative paths.
