Bauhaus

Bauhaus was a school devoted to the creation of a modern beauty. A beauty that embraces the use of the machine, that combines ideas and aspects of all modern design movements and applies them to create functional design. Bauhaus was a movement from which a modern aesthetic evolved, and in its wake, modern furniture, household products, architecture and graphics.

I chose to do replicate a work by Joost Schmidt, circa 1923, which demonstrates several previous art movements including constructivism and cubism. It is a fairly close replication, save the personalization of the facial expression, the text which has been changed to my school, and of course the dates. Oh - and I changed the signature icon to be a creation with my own stylized itintials.
