Guangxi Qinzhou Qinnan District Eighth Kindergarten
Project Address: Guangxi Qinzhou No. 8 Kindergarten
Design Concept: At the heart of the kindergarten’s graffiti studio lies the vision to "protect children’s natural instincts and create an art-filled growth space that is both playful, creative, and emotionally engaging." Here, graffiti becomes a dynamic medium for kids to express their emotions, explore the world around them, and collaborate with peers—while seamlessly integrating safety, fun, and educational value.
1. Safety First, Freedom to Create: The walls are coated with child-safe, non-toxic, and easily washable graffiti paint or magnetic whiteboards, ensuring a worry-free environment. Meanwhile, soft, non-slip, and impact-resistant mats cover the floor, and all furniture and sharp edges have been rounded off. By eliminating concerns about messiness and injury, children can freely experiment with brushes, fingers, sponges, and other tools, unleashing their boundless imagination.
2. Empowering Space for Interactive Collaboration: The studio features tiered graffiti areas tailored to different age groups: low walls cater to younger toddlers who prefer standing while creating, while movable graffiti boards encourage group projects among older preschoolers. Additionally, a dedicated "collective graffiti wall" provides a perfect spot for children to collaboratively craft themed masterpieces. A complementary "art showcase area" allows kids’ creations to be displayed instantly, boosting their sense of accomplishment and fostering mutual appreciation and communication.
3. Bridging Art with Everyday Life, Sparking Inspiration: Soft furnishings and decor subtly incorporate familiar elements from children’s daily lives—such as simple animal silhouettes or organic plant motifs on the walls. Themes like "My Kindergarten," "The Seasons," or "My Family" offer relatable prompts, helping children connect their real-world experiences with artistic expression. This approach not only makes the creative process more meaningful but also empowers kids to translate their observations of life into vibrant, heartfelt works of art.
