The Bauhaus school of design’s principles are good principles to go by. Every art class and school teaches them in some form or another. I have even been tought these principles in high school in a simpler way.
It’s amazing how many famous artists have come from Bauhaus and how much arcitecture came from therer as well. It seems to me that a lot of modern art comes from their schools.
Also, while reading the Bauhaus articles on the people and philosophy I noticed something interesting. That non of the people mentioned were women. It even mentions on the web page: http://bauhaus.chrissnider.com/pages/philosophy.html in the second bulleted item it states that “teachers in the school of design must be men who are in advance of their profession rather than safely and academically in the rearguard.” I’m am not sure if they did or did not have women teachers or students. The article did not mention if they did. Women were granted suffrage the same year the school was founded, so their could have been women in the schools. I don’t know much about the school other than what the 3 articles showed me. So I could be wrong on that argument. That was just something interesting that I found.
