“Art itself cannot be taught, but craftsmanship can. Architects, painters, sculptors are all craftsmen in the original sense of the word. Thus it is a fundamental requirement of all artistic creativity that every student undergo a thorough training in the workshops of all branches of the crafts.” ArtCreativityStudentsTaughtTrainingOriginalsFundamentalsPainterCraftsArtisticBranchesArchitectRequirementsThoroughWorkshopsSculptorsCraftsmanCraftsmanshipArtistic Creativity Author:Walter Gropius

“Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.” ArtCharacterHandsTogetherSpiritDesireLostHeavenMillionsBuildingPaintingOne DayStructureEmbraceUnityWorkersArchitecturePainterSymbolsArchitectEntitySculptureCrystalsSculptorsSalonsComposites Author:Walter Gropius
