Bellow is the results I got for Body and Spirit exercise in the Bauhaus Website. “Oskar Schlemmer’s iconic stage production highlighted the interconnectedness of costume, choreography, color, and music.
Performance of these elements expressed the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk), a central principle of the Bauhaus.”
Below are my results from the Form and Color exercise of the Bauhaus. The idea that shapes are linked with primary colors.
The Bauhaus philosophy in my opinion can be taken into Interactive Design. Take the Form and Color exercise, color influences users decision making all the time. At first, for the circle shape, I wanted to choose red only because of the link between a red stop sign. But with remembering what a stop sign looks like it has sharp sides and isn’t a perfect circle. Color has an effect on how we initially think about something. I believe that it has been learned over time that color is linked with an idea. But with shapes it is applied more to the real world physical aspect of our day to day lives. Linking the material world to all aspects of art will make us better as interactive designers, being able to see and correlate the reasons someone make a decision based off the color or shape, what influence it has.
