(RFS) Bauhaus to Bauhaus

From Bauhaus to Bauhaus, everyone here is obsessed with the Bauhaus.

The Bauhaus was obsessed with architecture and designing everything for appropriate architecture. I think...

"The ultimate aim of all visual arts is the complete building!"

yea?

By uniting crafts under one roof, the bauhaus sought to enhance the ability of craftspeople to design in a unified way. (this sounds slightly like the standardisation vs high culture argument) They did this because:

Art cannot be taught, and therfore the educatino of artists should center around the workshop.
Art education begins with learning a "trade"
Proficiency of craft is essensial to any artist, and is the prime source of creative imagination.

The Bauhaus would:

Form a working community of leading and future artist-craftsmen (harmoniously)

encourage collaboration by the students in the work of the master,

secure commissions, also for students

foster constant contact with the laders of crafts and industries

design for contact with public life through exhibition and other activities

and encourage friendly relations between masters and students outside of work. (plays, lectures, poetry, music, costume parties etc..)

Students would learn through craft, drawing and painting, and science and theory. Craft training would occur through apprenticeships, drawing and painting through classes, and science and theory would approach art history to present working methods and techniques as opposed to styles, science of materials, anatomy, and personal finance.

Sounds fun!, I'd go.
