The Bauhaus

Bauhaus was a design school that started in Germany in 1919 that was founded by Walter Gropius. Bauhaus designers stopped using the traditional method, that everyone knew about and started a modern style of art. Their ideas came from various categories in art. Bauhaus went through different periods under different directors and cities including expressionism, constructivism, functionalism and architecture. The Bauhaus school moved from Weimar to Dessau in 1925.  In 1932 they moved again to Berlin but in 1933 they were shut down by the Nazi’s. The Nazi’s were always against the Bauhaus because they believed that they had something to do with communism, since most of the members were Russian.
