Reading Response 4B – JD

Bauhaus was an art style and art school that came about in 1919 by German architect Walter Gropius. This style and school help to change and evolve art taking it to the next level. This is shown by the three reading’s written by Walter Gropius, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Herbert Bayer. In all these readings they all agree that what was lacking from art in the past was the use of text as a part of the illustration being expressed in the design. Instead of text simply used as a way of explaining something.
In design, every part of it has a role to play as shown in the Bauhaus art style. Typography and photography’s role is to express the ideas of the design. They do this through visual communication to the audience that is watching the design. Language and communication play the role of expressing what is being in the design. This gives the reader an easier time understanding what is being said in the design.
According to the reading on Bauhaus as I have understood art is something that is going to keep evolving. To evolve along with it and create new forms of art, artists must incorporate those new ways of doing art into their art style. This will allow a new style to be born allowing them to stay with what they like but not have to completely change how they do art. This is why teachers should be willing to teach artists how to incorporate other styles of art into their own. This will allow them to continue to grow as artists.
In today’s day and age, art has changed and the way it is done has changed as well. To survive today Bauhaus would have to include using imagery inside of the images to help it grow. It could also use digital programs to help create the art to improve on the work being done in the style. Digital programs would allow them to correct and evolve the Bauhaus art style. It could do this due to the many tools that are inside of it that are meant to help the artist.
