Bauhaus was a German art school founded by Walter Gropius that took a comprehensive approach to art and design with an emphasis on functionality and mass production. At Bauhaus, students were encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and to work collaboratively with other students and faculty members. The school’s curriculum emphasized the integration of art and technology, and students were trained in a variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, graphic design, and architecture. The pedagogical approach of Bauhaus became a model for art schools and design programs around the world.
