Bauhaus artist celebrates pure forms, clean designs and the main characteristic of their works was function, they were looking for the organic design and the nature of the objects by avoiding the use of additional ornamenting elements that they think were unnecessary. The Bauhaus artists prefered the use of linear and geometrical shapes and completely avoiding curvilinear or floral shapes. As we saw on the Bauhaus history, the main idea of Walter Gropius was to unify all art disciplines without distinction between artist and craftsman. No more distinction between artist and craftsman.Form Follows Function, the first principles of Bauhaus that we already have named previously consist of designing elegant design layouts using geometric shapes but maintaining the focus on the function of all the elements.As we saw in the Bauhaus history, it started as Art School and later evolved to a single art movement by his innovative approach of arts, and we already have seen the main motto of “form follows function” we will see some of the most important principles of Bauhaus collected in it’s manifesto from 1919.
