Summer Vacation Program: Street Art and Stencil Graffiti

Are you into color, style, and street vibes? Then our graffiti workshop is just for you! Learn how to turn an idea into a real artwork with a wow effect – straight from the can! Together with real spray artists, you'll develop your own tags, sketches, and murals, learn tricks about colors, shading, and technique, and bring your personal design to the wall. Whether you're a beginner or a spray pro – creativity, teamwork, and your own style are what matter here. Street art and stencil graffiti combine art and craft in a very close way, as they require both creative expression and technical precision.

1. Artistic Aspect:
- Idea and Message: Street art is often heavily loaded with content – it can convey political criticism, societal observations, or personal stories. The design idea is the artistic core here.
- Aesthetics and Style: Artists develop individual visual languages – color choice, shapes, composition, and recognizability are central, consciously designed elements.
- Creative Context: The location where street art is applied is often part of the artwork itself. Embedding it in urban environments can create irony, surprise, or a special effect.

2. Craft Aspect:
- Mastery of Materials: In stencil graffiti, precise cutting of the stencil, accurate color applications, and a sense for layering are essential.
- Technical Skill in handling stencils, spray cans, and other tools. Mastery of the technique is important to create precise lines, shapes, and color gradients.
- Planning and Execution: For complex multi-layer stencils, an exact process is crucial, often requiring millimeter-accurate fitting between layers.
- Practical Adaptation: Craftsmanship requires the ability to deal with substrate structures, weather influences, and time pressure.
