According to the authors of the Bauhaus, the communication of an artwork requires thinking, observation of the world and adaptation. The authors believe in minimalism, and creating art for social and industrial purposes which was missing from the past art.These authors also believe in their own ways that art can not be taught, it’s for us to decide what art is and what we ourselves consider as an art, past art education was lacking these and were focused more on teaching art. Every individual is different and has their own imagination and perspective of the society around them. When we think of this, it is very accurate that teaching art through education is not very effective since the school or the teacher who’s teaching the students will most likely present the students as how she sees art and what her value is. This prevents students from discovering new ideas and keeps them in the past.

The term “art” for these three authors are like craft and construction through which something new can be produced. Adaptation to modernity is a big factor that has been addressed in these readings over and over. Technology plays a big role in art and design which have changed many things, and we as artists are responsible for using it to our advantage, one example of this is the Typophoto. Maholy sees communication in two ways, first is the typography; in typography, communication is done through the use of type. The other way was photography which is a visual communication through photographs. Maholy combined both these and created the Typophoto which he considered to be the most effective way of communication.  It is clear that the communication through Typophoto will appeal to both the visual learners and the casual learners since it contains a little bit of both elements. Through the Typophoto Moholy was able to make a new form of communication language which was very modern and effective.

Just like the founder Grupius and Maholy, Bayer also looked for change. Bayer stressed that typography is a common thing for all of us but we often consider it as a design or a form of art. This was probably one of the reasons as to why books and the way it was written haven’t changed since Gutenberg’s invention. Also the designers were afraid of changing it because it may have taken away the legibility of the language.. Bayer thought that the old style of typography was too complicated and he wanted to reduce the types to bare minimum without any additions. Bayer simplified the type by taking away the serifs which made the typography way more simpler and legible. 

Bauhaus developed their students and designs in relation to the demand of the changing world which made it very successful. To be still effective in the 21st century they need to follow the same exact route, which is to reflect on the work done in the past and how to take it to the next level by meeting the current demands.
