This paper examines Walter Gropius's philosophy of art education as founder of the Bauhaus, focusing on his idea of the "artist-teacher," a teacher who draws on their own artistic discipline to inform how they teach. It situates this approach within the Bauhaus's broader experiment in art education between 1919 and 1928.
G. James Daichendt's 2010 paper in Teaching Artist Journal examines Walter Gropius's role in shaping the Bauhaus as an experiment in art education during the school's run from 1919 to 1928. The paper focuses on the Bauhaus's unifying pedagogy, built around the figure of the "artist-teacher," an instructor who draws on their own artistic discipline to inform educational practice. It argues that the Bauhaus's artist-teachers, individually and collectively, shaped the course of contemporary art education more than any other educational institution in recent history. The article's title is sometimes given as "The Bauhaus Artist-Teacher: Walter Gropius's Philosophy of Art Education."
