Reading Response 4B-BV

The Bauhaus was a very influential design movement that changed how designers thought and created new artwork. The Education system was divided into two sections, theoretical studies (the basic laws of design) and “Instruction in form of problems” (understanding ideas and their functions).

Although the Bauhaus instructors taught the basics in theory and led individuals into artistic paths such as (painting, art, film, type, etc) they lacked education in the sense of emphasizing that “art comes from within”. “Whether the finished product is an exercise in ingenuity or a work of art depends on the talent of the individual who creates it”.

Instructors can teach and guide future artists, but it depends on the artist whether they take steps further or get left behind. Like Walter Gropus stated, “Human achievement depends on the proper coordination of all the creative faculties.” Yes, we need to be educated and understand the theory. We must learn the Design language in order for others to understand us.
