Description:

09S: Arrange The Bauhaus was the innovative early 20th-century school for art and architectural (1919-1933) where-among other things-modern design as we know it was invented. Part art academy, part commercial design school, and part architectural guild, the Bauhaus sought to produce artistic polymaths who could cross disciplinary and even economic lines that had been separated since the Middle Ages. Bauhaus graduates were to be fine artists, visionary architects, hand-craftsmen, industrial designers, and social reformers, all rolled into one. This interdisciplinary course utilizes art history, architectural history, and modern European history to examine the institution that, in spite of many political opponents and obstacles, transformed 20th-century design. The Bauhaus, moreover, continues to exert a remarkable influence on architecture, applied arts, and artistic instruction into the 21st century. Jordan, Heck.
