example of Bauhaus design
Bauhaus had the idea in mind for their designs that whatever you created you could use in the real world. The "Barcelona chair" which we all now and love today was created using the Bauhaus's style. I would like to go back and watch the entire documentary on this interesting architecture. I thought it was so sad, that as with many things during that time period in the 1930s, the Nazi's took over the Bauhaus building and destroyed the modern beauty that had been created. I thought their designs were so clean and fresh...they definitely looked as though they were the inspiration for IKEA.
I also enjoyed learning about the "beat" group today. I had heard of Jack Kerouac before but didn't really know his full story. It was definitely a depressing lifestyle but they made the best of it and did create their own form of art. I thought the "Thanksgiving Day" poem was the best by William Burrows! Ok...maybe it was just me but I thought the movie "The Naked Lunch" was REALLY weird! Between that and "Un Chein Andalou" I hope I don't have nightmares. I think it's great though that Santiago exposes us to all different forms of art, this way we can form solid opinions:)
