Building House



















Many movements shaped the designs in the upcoming years of the 20th century, among those movements was the Bauhaus art.
Walter Gropius followed his utopia and founded the Bauhaus institution of art around 1919. Gropius was not alone in his utopian aspiration there were others who joined in molding a new generation of artists. The basic principle of the Bauhaus was creating art in anyway and with anything, this new art shifted in a completely different direction from traditional artistic methods. Students learned to create art literally nothing much was demonstrated on paper, crafting skills are thought by craftsmen and esthetic inspiration was by artists, new and cheap materials were used, machines assisted designs were crafted, color theory, basic shapes and architecture were also part of the Bauhaus curriculum.
Opposite to art nouveau Bauhaus art never related to nature in any way possible they were more of expressions of the human emotion and how we felt, abstract drawings is a prime example of that.
Later as this movement flourished the designs became attainable to the common majority of people, easy and practical items for everyday use. The workers and students started mass-producing their designs to the public in large numbers with an affordable price. The face of the 20th century was designed molded and displayed at the Bauhaus, a movement that left its print in the world.
