Emotions in Bauhaus
To understand better about the Bauhaus, it was a school whose approach to design and the combination of fine art had a major influence on graphic design as well as much of 20th-century modern art. It was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, in 1919. The school moved to Dessau in 1924 and was forced to close its doors under pressure from the Nazi political party in 1933. The school favored simplified forms, rationality, functionality, and the idea that mass production could live in harmony with the artistic spirit of individuality.
Emotions play a role in our ability to communicate with others, and they connect through the stories of every individual. With emotions serving as a guide for every individual, a series of posters inspired by the Bauhaus movement has been crafted. These posters aim to depict the three moods, such as happiness, sadness, and anger below.
Each poster shown below features a distinct face shaped to match the form highlighted in the design. The two dots represents the eyes and the triangles depict a facial expression. The vibrant colors and expressive faces are what bring these posters to life.
