Basel: Graffiti & Urban Art Workshop｜Switzerland

Discover the art of graffiti and urban art in a fun and creative workshop. Learn how to create your own graffiti and street art under the guidance of professional artists.

Start with a short history of graffiti and street art, and see examples of the coolest pieces worldwide by famous graffiti artists. Then, get to know your team with an introduction and a showcase of professional past graffiti and wall painting projects.

Next, brainstorm, design, sketch, spray, and paint a large legal wall, one or more canvases (if desired, stretched on a frame), or individual graffiti panels. Learn how to design, paint, and spray a logo or values of your company.

Get involved in a way that requires team-building methods, such as a shared search for inspiration, sketching, creative and intuitive teamwork, and feedback loops. Finally, complete and sign the artwork together.

Learn a variety of graffiti, drawing, and painting techniques to create a street art piece from start to finish. Use professional materials such as Montana spray cans, nozzles, stencils, special adhesive tapes, tag and marker pens, acrylic paints, brushes, rollers, paint buckets, protective clothing, gloves, shoe covers, and graffiti masks.

Bring your own ideas for a paintable image, a favorite subject, or a current team and company theme, your company logo, or values. If you have any ideas, let the team know in advance so they can find references and create a possible concept in Photoshop that can serve as a template.
