  8. Teaching methods at the Bauhaus. ‣ The manner of teaching

    arises from the nature of the workshop: organic form developed from mechanical knowledge; elimination of all rigidity; emphasis on creativity; freedom of individuality, but strict scholarship. ‣ Masters and journeymen are examined according to the regulations of the guilds by masters of the Bauhaus or outside masters from the trade guilds. Students participate in the projects of the masters. ‣ There is common planning of extensive building projects – popular and cultural buildings – with utopian aims. Allmasters and students collaborate on these projects, aiming for eventual harmony of all elements and parts pertaining to the construction. There is continuous contact with the country's leading experts on trade and industry, as well as with the public, through exhibitions and other events. ‣ New experiments arecarried on to solve the problem of exhibiting two- and three- dimensional art in an architectonic frame. Finally, friendly relations are fostered between masters and students outside of the work by means of theater parties, lectures, poetry readings, concerts, and fancy dress balls.

  9. “The responsibility of the Bauhaus is to educate people to

    recognise the environment they live in, and to apply their insights and know-how to create typical forms and products for the people living in the world.“ –Walter Gropius, 1923 //my translation
