Bauhaus Manifesto
Your textbook describes design in light of the Bauhaus manifesto.
According to the Bauhaus Design History (http://designhistory.org/Bauhaus3.html), what was
so new about the Bauhaus modern art school “was its attempt to integrate the artist and the
craftsman, to bridge the gap between art and industry.” It goes on to explain that “mass
production was the god, and the machine aesthetic demanded reduction to essentials, an
excision of the sentimental choices and visual distractions that cluttered human lives.”
Keeping this in mind, explain the concept of design in your own words. Compare and contrast it
with art, and explain how “cluttering” a design with unnecessary elements can have a
potentially negative impact on the message it bears. Finally, depending on the first letter of
your last name, use the Web to find at least one visual communication piece (e.g., a website, an
advertisement, a logo, etc.) that either exemplifies Bauhaus’ concept of design or does not.
Then, describe why.
