Try out Bauhaus design for yourselfThe preliminary course is one of the most influential innovations of Bauhaus pedagogy. Material studies or paper folding are still part of art lessons today. This exercise book brings together 50 exercises from the lessons of Johannes Itten, László Moholy-Nagy and Josef Albers, which were intended to enable everyone to develop their individual abilities. Instructions and tasks - from breathing stenograms to material studies to tactile boards - are reconstructed from student works, predominantly from the rich collection of the Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design Berlin, and commented on and critically questioned from the memories of Bauhäusler*innen and experts from teaching, research and practice.The accompanying book is published for the anniversary exhibition of the Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design.
