The purpose of this research is to analyze pedagogical experiences and theories of Bauhaus during Weimar’s period and the consequential impact on today’s art education. The results are presented as a useful tool to understand the different processes of art education. In this sense, the Bauhaus school is a model for further analysis. From Itten’s Preliminary Course to Kandinsky’s theories, the early years of the school were innovative and retain interesting relationships with experiences of the previous century in relation to industry, craftsmanship and society.
