M:No, it was an actually design school located in Germany, founded by Walter Gropius. His goal was to combine technical skill with and artist talent and by doing this creates a new form of architecture and aplight arts.
W:Okay, so that explained what professro mentioned how certain people had studied with both a craft person and an artist.
M:Right! Before anybody can actually begin their former training, they had to take workshops that were taught by boat or craft person who emphasize technical expertise1 and an artist.
W:Interesting!

M:Perhaps…I don't know. But it did mean that the Bauhaus's creation had their own artistic4 beauty. And that instead of being individually handicraft, like something you've seen in a … I don't know…Garth Cathedral they were produced by machines in large quantities.
W:Is the Bauhaus still around?
M:I don't think so. But judging on the amount of time on our class schedule that we are going to be devoting to it, it's a fact must about lifted.
