ARC 225 BTWN ART & INDUSTRY: BAUHAUS

The Bauhaus (1919-1933) was a site of daring creative and social experimentation that has had a profound impact on our visual world, bringing together avant-garde artists, architects, and designers to rethink the nature of art in the age of industrial production. In this joint course with ART 227, students will explore Bauhaus history, legacy, and creative approach. Students will spend part of the semester applying Bauhaus theories of art making in studio exercises, which will inform their final written research project. Topics will address the range of Bauhaus artistic and social experimentation, including architecture, typographic and industrial design, theater, film, and photography, as well as radical conceptions of collective living and gender roles.
