Creative heads: Six graders design graffiti for school birthday!

On July 19, 2025, the Heidegrundschule will transform itself into a colorful paradise for the ceremonial occasion of its 20th anniversary. In the course of a special school project, the sixth grade students demonstrated their creative skills and developed their own abbreviations, also known as "tags". These were sprayed under professional guidance by two sprayers from the Bergschlösschen on a wooden wall that was sponsored by the family business brothers Noack. The sprayers also refined the artwork with the school's lettering and gave the children a great insight into the world of hip-hop.

The anticipation for the school birthday is already noticeable, because the graffiti wall will be the heart of the celebrations. "The project is a unique opportunity to put our creative ideas into reality. It feels great to see our own designs," reports a student who is obviously proud of the results. The enthusiasm for graffiti can also be seen in the consideration of students in class 8.4 at the Walter Gropius School to also express themselves artistically with spray cans. This type of art in public space not only promotes the creativity, but also the planning ability of the students, as can be seen from the walter-gropius-schule-berlin.de.

Not only the graffiti wall causes excitement in the Heidengrundschule. All children of the school are also busy sewing pennant for a large pennant chain under the guidance of teachers and volunteers. This will decorate the school ambience during the celebrations and create a festive framework. "It's nice to see how everyone works together to create something special," explains a teacher who accompanies the project. Such community projects not only forge friendships, but also strengthen their sense of community at the school.

The importance of graffiti as an art form in public space is increasingly valued. According to the graffitiart.de, art is often perceived unconsciously, whether in the form of sculptures, monuments or street art. Graffiti as an expression forms to let their creativity run free and to express their personality visually. "Because of such a project, we can let off steam and realize ourselves!" Said a student about the positive effects of this art form.

Overall, it can be seen that projects such as the graffiti project not only promote the artistic veins of the students, but also make an important contribution to the celebration of school culture. On July 19, the Heidegrundschule will definitely set colorful accents and celebrate the success of its students.
