The school is the servant of the workshop and will one day be absorbed in it. Therefore there will be no teachers or pupils in the Bauhaus but masters, journeymen, and apprentices.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art - sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and crafts - as inseparable components of a new architecture.
Few developments central to the history of art have been so misrepresented or misunderstood as the brief, brave, glorious, doomed life of the Bauhaus - the epochally influential German art, architecture, crafts, and design school that was founded in Goethe's sleepy hometown of Weimar in 1919.
We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
The ultimate, if distant, aim of the Bauhaus is the unified work of art - the great structure - in which there is no distinction between monumental and decorative art.
It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
There will always be places in the world where good schools don't exist and good teachers don't want to go, not just in the developing world but in places of socioeconomic hardship.
I attended the elementary school at Schweinfurt and the secondary school.
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
There are three schoolmasters for everybody that will employ them - the senses, intelligent companions, and books.
