The Bauhaus Movement

"The origins of the Bauhaus movement of modern art and architecture date back to the controversial new school of arts and crafts which was established in Weimar in 1902 by the Belgian artist Henry van de Velde. Another art school had already been founded in 1860 which was also the subject of disputes."

 

The Bauhaus was the first model of the modern art school. The Bauhaus curriculum combined 'theoretic education' and 'practical training' in the educational workshops. It drew inspiration from the ideals of the revolutionary art movements and design experiments of the early 20th century
The central idea behind the teaching at the Bauhaus was productive workshops. The Bauhaus contained a carpenter's workshop, a metal workshop, a pottery in Dormburg, facilities for painting on glass, mural painting, weaving, printing, wood and stone sculpting
