Week 5 involved the Bauhaus movement; we began by looking at Destiji which is an art movement that appeared after the First World War ended in 1918 by Theo Van Doesburg, and Piet Mondrian. Their approach to art was to create clean, minimal, geometric pieces that were very abstract.
Piet Mondrian was known for his grids made up of yellow, red, and blue. creating exciting pieces that were eye-catching. Theo Van Doesburg was known for his break of the process from the original sketch till it was all geometric abstract pieces instead.
Then the Bauhaus School of Design was born it ran from 1919 to 1933 till it was shut down when the Nazis came to power but in the short time that it ran for the impact has been seen around the world with the simple sleek designs still being seen today with things like doors, and light switches.
Walter Gropius is the founder of the Bauhaus school he was a German architect born in 1883 in Berlin. his fundamentals were that all design should be functional and aesthetically pleasing. "We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation" he was creating a space that was open and allowed people to grow.
