3. Bauhaus Objectives
Its core objective was a radical concept:
to reimagine the material world to reflect
the unity of all the arts. Gropius explained
this vision for a union of art and design in
the Proclamation of the Bauhaus (1919),
which described a utopian craft guild
combining architecture, sculpture, and
painting into a single creative expression.
Gropius developed a craft-based
curriculum that would turn out artisans and
designers capable of creating useful and
beautiful objects appropriate to this new
system of living.

4. Bauhaus Education
The Bauhaus combined elements of both fine
arts and design education. The curriculum
commenced with a preliminary course that
immersed the students, who came from a
diverse range of social and educational
backgrounds, in the study of materials, color
theory, and formal relationships in preparation
for more specialized studies.

5. He was born in Südern-Linden, Switzerland on 11 November 1888
Swiss expressionist painter, designer, teacher, writer and theorist
associated with the Bauhaus (Staatliche Bauhaus) school.
Itten's work on color is also said to be an inspiration for seasonal
color analysis[disambiguation needed]. Itten had been the first to
associate color palettes with four types of people, and had
designated those types with the names of seasons.
