    Bauhaus: timeless design lessons that still guide creativity

    Bauhaus: an enduring legacy, beyond a school, a movement that transformed design. Throughout the history of design, few schools have left such a deep and lasting mark as the Bauhaus. Founded in 1919 in Germany by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was not just an educational institution, but a revolutionary movement that forever transformed the way we understand art, architecture and design. At a time of social reconstruction after World War I, the Bauhaus sought to unite art, design and functionality, eliminating the barriers between disciplines. Its goal was clear: to create beautiful and useful objects for daily life. Today, more than a century later, its principles continue to inspire generations of creatives who seek a balance between aesthetics, utility, and innovation. This article rescues the timeless lessons of the Bauhaus to apply them in the current context of digital, graphic and architectural design. The origin of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was born in Weimar with the vision of integrating art and industry. Gropius believed that design should be at the service of people, and that artists and craftsmen could work together to create a new modern aesthetic.

    3 Free Inspirational Books For Illustrating Japanese-style Waves

    Boost your creativity with these early 20th-century illustrations from artist Mori Yuzan The ocean is incredibly hypnotic. Outlining the silhouette of a wave for an illustration requires letting the brush glide almost freely across the page. In Japanese art, waves express beauty and are packed with symbolism, and Hamonshū, a collection of three books from 1903, includes many great examples. Despite not being very well known, author Mori Yuzan demonstrates a unique ability to draw different types of waves with great accuracy. Thanks to Internet Archive and The Smithsonian Library, you can now access and download all three books free of charge. They will no doubt serve as an incredible source of inspiration and great reference material when creating mood boards in the early stages of your creative process.
