The Bauhaus art movement was founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany by architect Walter Gropius. The goal was to combine architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression through a craft-based curriculum. Students from different backgrounds studied materials, color theory, and design. Key figures like Paul Klee, Marcel Breuer, and Gunta Stölzl developed new approaches to painting, furniture, and textile design that emphasized functionality and mass production. Many Bauhaus members emigrated to the US during World War II, spreading the school's ideas through their teaching.

In this class we consider the influential career of Walter Gropius, along with a discussion of the architecture, curriculum and student life at the Bauhaus.
In this class we discuss the career of Walter Gropius, with a particular focus upon the Bauhaus, which is significant not only for its architecture and curriculum, but for its people.
Vkhutemas, Russian state art and technical schoolAta Chokhachian
Vkhutemas
Russian state art and technical school founded in 1920 in Moscow. The workshops were established by a order from Vladimir Lenin with the intentions, in the words of the Soviet government, "to prepare master artists of the highest qualifications for industry, and builders and managers for professional-technical education. It was formed by merging the first and second Moscow Free Art Studios. It included an art department (painting, sculpture, and architecture) and an industrial department (printing, textile, ceramics, woodworking, and metalworking). Actually, Vkhutemas’ main function was to train stand painters and architects. At the same time, the industrial departments were given the task of training new kinds of artists, able to work with the traditional forms of plastic arts and to create the entire environment of objects surrounding men, including objects of everyday life and work tools. (Hamilton, G.H., 1993)

THE BAUHAUS IN HISTORY
by Ben Davis
What does the Bauhaus mean to us, today?
This, more than anything else, is the question provoked by the recent
"Bauhaus" show at the Museum of Modern Art, as well as the various other
exhibitions and symposia that marked the 90th anniversary of the
legendary art school last year. In Artforum, K. Michael Hays answered the
question by saying that the Bauhaus represented a belief in the unifying
power of geometry, something we no longer can share. In the January Art
in America, Joan Ockman replies that the school may indeed still be
relevant -- but only the Expressionist early period, so different than what
we normally associate with the term "Bauhaus."
The Bauhaus was more than just an idea, of course, it was an actual
institution. That institution’s historical background figures in each of these
accounts -- to a point. In general, however, what strikes me is how
bloodless most descriptions of the Bauhaus are. History appears more or
less the way it did at the MoMA show, as a timeline outside the galleries;
that is, as ornament, not as integral to understanding the meaning of the
artwork. To truly recover the spark of relevance of Bauhaus practice, you
need to thoroughly dig into what happened in Germany in the years 1919-
1933 -- to put the history back into art history, so to speak.
Four giant facts that loomed over the founding of the Bauhaus in 1919:
* World War I, 1914-1918. The War killed some two million Germans, and
left Germany’s economy -- then the world’s second largest -- in shambles.
The conflict had begun in 1914 with substantial working-class support, on
all sides. It ended with German soldiers in revolt against their officers, and
a deep hatred of the leaders who had initiated the hostilities. Many
Bauhaus students were veterans of the war. Walter Gropius, its first
director, served on the Western Front, was wounded, and won two Iron
Crosses.
* The Russian Revolution of 1917. Growing out of war fatigue, a successful
Marxist-led revolution on Germany’s doorstep overthrew a much-loathed
Czar and replaced him, for heroic moments, with history’s most far-
ranging experiment in worker-run government (soon to be strangled by
civil war and reaction). The Russian example ignited a wide-spread
enthusiasm for social experiment and revolutionary politics, in Germany
and elsewhere.
* The German Revolution of 1918. In November, the discredited German
Kaiser fled the country; the German Empire became the German Republic.
Inspired by the October Revolution, the next months saw power pass over
into a woolly collection of grassroots workers and soldiers councils across
the country. Authority was soon consolidate.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
