After reading these articles, the importance of art history and typography was discussed thoroughly. The broad importance of art has been declared ongoingly in many different ways, however, time is such an important factor to consider when discussing such because of the revisions throughout time. Revisions are made with shapes, colors, typography, etc all the time forever and always. For example, in Bayers article, states,” the history of our alphabet and any probing into its optical effectiveness expose a lack of principle and structure, precision and efficiency that should be evidenced in this important tool.” The alphabet has been played around with for years and has visually been changed which also redefines typeface a well.

In addition, the education system has the power to control the way people think academically and mix it with creativity to form a more progressive way of thinking. For example, in Gropius’s article it states,” This training opens the way for creative powers of the individual, establishing a basis on which different individuals can cooperate without losing their artistic independence.” This was a eye-opener for me as I never thought of a technique like this that can be utilized as a form of education and may help students understand the power of knowledge from another perspective. The power of art and academics is a significant way of communication and expression that is used in everyday life today and forever, it should be taught and spoken about more often.
