Graffti Street Art

As part of our new Urban Adventure Series.. we are proud to introduce..."One Truth" Graffiti Art and Design Company founders, brothers Michael (Pase) and Tobias (Dr. Drax) Senn who are both highly recognised, talented and acclaimed professional Graffiti artists. We are incredibly stoked to have them as instructors for our Graffiti Street Art workshops. In very small groups you will work on canvases and walls with cans, sneakers and canvases with special graffiti markers and learn to foli and stencil your own T-shirts.  

5-day Graffiti Street Art Workshop:

Day 1: Once we have welcomed and introduced you to the artists studios, you will get right down to searching for your own graffiti writer name. All set with your new graffiti artist name, we will begin discussions on the history of Graffiti Art, how it developed.  We will give you background on "One Truth" and your highly sought after instructors Pase and Dr Drax. We will then take a trip to the "Rote Fabrik" (Red Factory) in Wollishofen where we will check out all of the mind-blowing, amazingly cool graffiti art that adorns the facade of the buildings. (Wait til you see the bathrooms!!!) There, we will introduce you to who the different artists are, their styles and what techniques they have used. Back at "One Truth", we will explain the safety issues for using spray paints before we get started painting. Your first project is to design your own T-shirts.

Day 2:  Today you will finish your T-shirt design. This design with then be printed on your T-shirt ready for you to take home on Friday. We will then start to prepare your sketch to customise the shoes you bring to camp. We will show you how to design using the special makers and for painting on shoes.  

Day 3: We will start the day finishing off your shoe design. Following completion, Dr. Drax will move on to introducing you to live airbrushing. You will then begin your graffiti painting for next day.

Day 4:  Following a short graffiti movie, you will make your own graffiti sketch. We will then teach you spray can techniques. Using these techniques, in two groups, you will start a graffiti on a temporary wall.

Day 5:  On our last day, you will now be able to create your own graffiti artwork on a small canvas, painting with different techniques and art media. At the end of the day you will be taking this canvas home with you, together with your T-shirt and shoes.

You are not going to want to miss this unbelievable week with Pase and Dr. Drax!

Tricking - October 17 & 18, AM Session

Tricking Workshops Camp Zurich Switzerland for kids and teens

Tricking (short for “martial arts tricking”) is the informal name of a relatively new underground alternative sport movement, combining martial arts, gymnastics, breakdance and other movements to create an “aesthetic blend of flips, kicks, and twists.” Tricking incorporates a variety of moves from different arts such as flips from gymnastics, 540 kick from Taekwondo, butterfly twist from Wushu and double leg from Capoeira. Tricking is recognizable by its flashy kicks, complex flips and twists, and its highly stylized movements which separate it from other arts. An individual who practises tricking is typically referred to as a “trickster” or “tricker”.

Program: 
Monday:  Basic jumpkicks, basic gymnastics and Capoeira basics.
Tuesday: Basic jumpkicks, basic gymnastics, Capoeira basics, beginning combintions and building a form.

Parkour Camp April 2 - 6

 

  
 
Parkour (or "le parkour" & 'pk' ) was invented in 1988 in the Lisses suburb of Paris by the legendary David Belle. After a short time he built a small crew of traceurs including Sebastien Foucan and the Yamakasi. 
 
Parkour is the art of efficient and progressive movement. The main goal is to overcome any obstacle within one`s path by adapting one`s movements to the environment. Parkour is not just physical, it also has a strong mental component.
 
Parkour requires... consistent, disciplined training with an emphasis on functional strength, physical conditioning, balance, creativity, fluidity, control, precision, spatial awareness, and looking beyond the traditional use of objects.
 
Parkour movements typically include... running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, balancing, and quadrupedal movement. Movements from other physical disciplines are often incorporated, but acrobatics or tricking alone do not constitute parkour.
 
Parkour training focuses on… physical fitness, the mental resilience, creative use of the surrounding, individual maturity, safety, longevity, personal responsibility, and self-improvement. It discourages reckless behavior, showing off, and dangerous stunts.
 
Parkour practitioners value... community, humility, positive collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and the importance of play in human life while demonstrating respect for all people, places, and spaces.
 
This camp is for students who are completely new to Parkour or have already attended any one of our Parkour Camps.  Parkour is always done at your own personal level.
 
Swiss Adventure Camp is proud to offer expert parkour intsruction by the team at ParkourONE which is based in Bern and is at the very heart of the European Parkour movement.  Watch their video above!
