Material studies or paper folding are still part of art education today. The original bauhaus workbook assembles 50 exercises from the courses of Johannes Itten, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy and Josef Albers, whose goal was to develop the individual abilities of each student. Most of the instructions and tasks \u2013 from breath shorthand to material studies to tactile tables \u2013 were reconstructed from the extensive collection of the Bauhaus-Archiv\u2009\/\u2009Museum f\u00fcr Gestaltung Berlin. The exercises are supplemented by the anecdotes of former Bauhaus students and teachers, and comments by experts in the fields of teaching, research and practical application.<br><br>Please ask our colleagues in the <a class=\"is-external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en?utm_source=bauhaus.de&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=bauhaus_shop&amp;utm_content=publications_product_link\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en?utm_source=bauhaus.de&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=bauhaus_shop&amp;utm_content=publications_product_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bauhaus-Shop<\/a> for prices and availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":3597,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ho_image_focal_point":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3068","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"seo_titel":"","keywords":"","noindex":false,"redirect":"","short_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/3068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/3068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32177,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/3068\/revisions\/32177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
