Whilst In Berlin I visited the Bauhaus Archive, a non-profiting organisation that shows works of the students and masters that taught at the Bauhaus, it was really inspirational and interesting. The Bauhaus is said to be "The symbol of modern design".
I was particularly interested in the teachings of Kandinsky and immediately bought a some gouache and set about painting once I returned back to Dusseldorf. Kandinsky taught a second semester course "Primary Artistic design". He believed in free art and free spirit and "loathed technical design for practical application" and had specific thoughts on colour leading to the creation of the Bauhaus trademark, yellow triangle, red square and blue circle.
