ART 227 DESIGN BETWEEN HAND & MACHINE
The Bauhaus (1919-1933) was a site of daring creative and social experimentation that has had a profound impact on our visual world, bringing together avant-garde artists, architects, and designers to rethink the nature of art in the age of industrial production. In this joint course with ARC 225, students will explore Bauhaus history, legacy, and creative approach as we work on studio projects inspired by these ideas. Students will be introduced to a variety of tools and industrial methods as they gain a tactile understanding of hard, soft, and malleable materials including clay, fiber, and paper. The course addresses the range of Bauhaus artistic and social experimentation, as well as radical conceptions of collective living and gender roles. Individual studio directions relevant to the topic will be encouraged, with emphasis on bridging the fields of art, craft, design, architecture, and technology.
