  20. 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. [ https://www.artifexbalear.org/etextes/bauhaus.pdf ]

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