bauhaus ideology and the future of web design
DESCRIPTION
http://colly.com/comments/bauhaus_ideology_and_the_future_of_web_design/ The Bauhaus ethic applied principles such as "honesty of construction", "truth to materials" and "form follows function" to design. It's teachers placed emphasis on ideas, expression, simplicity and a holistic approach to art, architecture, graphic and product design. This was modernism. Presentation looks at how the The Bauhaus' principles can be applied to web design. Also, how modernism relates to current web design trends. Plus, how these principles can teach us to be better web designers. Above all, the presentation concludes with some Bauhaus-inspired thoughts for the future of web design. Note: a proper transcript and hopefully video will be online soon.TRANSCRIPT

Gropius called for a reform in artistic process, rather than a new style. He said that art cannot really be taught, so he declared that art should be led back to its fundament and prerequisite in handicraft, where it is possible to learn how to handle materials
