Divisions of Instruction

The training is divided into three courses of instruction:

I. course for apprentices,
II. Course for journeymen,
III. Course for junior masters.
The instruction of the individual is left to the discretion of each master within the framework of the general program and the work schedule, which is revised every semester. In order to give the students as versatile and comprehensive a technical and artistic training as possible, the work schedule will be so arranged that every architect, painter, and sculptor-to-be is able to participate in part of the other courses. Thus, Bauhaus divided the programme carefully in three groups- Craft, Art and Science theory which are directed to enhance creativity, skill and logical thinking. Design synthesizes creativity, communication and logical analysis which are carefully nurtured and embodied in the programme at Bauhaus.”

The design training at the Bauhaus directed their design process and analysis with the help of the following techniques-
