The Bauhaus
The Bauhaus
*Founded in 1919 in Weimer and survived until 1933
*They wanted to challenge everything around them and expand to technology as well
*They had a very precise educational structure i.e. The Bauhaus wheel.
*Curriculum was divided into two section
1 instruction in craft
2 instruction in form
*Preliminary course lasts six months and after you stay if you prove yourself worthy
*It influenced furniture, teapots and architecture
*It was a school of mostly design
*Everything consisted of three shapes being a specific colour.
*Triangle = yellow, circle = blue, square = red
*Also experimented with fonts and prints
*It can be considered part of New Objectivity
It is interesting to note how everything that the Bauhaus students designed consisted of these three basic shapes, the triangle, the circle and the square. If we compare the art world of that time to our art world we can see how Weimer art played an influential role in art today. The basic three shapes they used we still use today. Also the three colours are considered the three primary colours in art. Art can then be said is pretty much made of these three basic colours and shapes. For example when drawing the human body or when drawing a house you use the basic shapes in some form. It is also interesting how they had to make it specifically three shapes. Why not four. It goes along with that period when New Objectivity was well know and when Dialectical Montage was becoming popular and the triatic ballet was being created.
