Bauhaus examples

1919-33

Bauhaus was created with the idea of bringing all arts together as one. There would be no distinction between the fine arts and applied arts. It sought a new way of teaching where 'handcrafted' work was the emphasis, artists and craftsmen teaching together. This is a very practical teaching method.

Teachings that took place at the Bauhaus were wide and varied in the arts. The idea was to teach pupils in many disciplines so as to bring the arts unity. This concept had a profound impact on modernist art and art theories. Much of early Bauhaus teachings were influenced by the constructivist period, hence the typology and design that came out of the school were clear, geometrically focused and very bold.
