Please read: Candace Jackson, “Taking the Blame Off Bauhaus: The movement is more than Ikea lamps and cold steel buildings,” The Wall Street Journal, 6 November 2009; Available at:http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704013004574517551273151342
And explore:The Bauhaus, Workshops for Modernity, 1919-1933; An online exhibit at: http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2009/bauhaus/Main.html
Then discuss: You can approach this assignment in a few different ways. You might choose to look through the different pages (I like the Kandinsky Questionnaire), and then watch one of the 'Behind the Scenes' Videos (I especially like the Curatorial talks), or start with the video and then go to the works of art. After doing this describe some part of this exhibit (I especially like Vasily Kandinsky's painting Zwei Grosse [+] (1925) (go to Timeline, then the People page, scroll down to click on Vasily Kandinsky and then roll the images along to the line drawing that looks like a dancer) open the text box for more info). Now discuss how the item you chose reflects the theme of Technological Fundamentalism from lecture and Misa (chapter 6). (Write about 400-500 words, please remember to have the intext citation with specific page numbers)
