Bauhaus art influence to the super flat movement
Introduction
Globally, few artistic movements have ever had as much impact on our daily lives as the Bauhaus movement. Bauhaus movement was a powerful art and design association initiated in Weimar, Germany, in 1919. It stimulated instructors and scholars to develop their arts together in design studios and workshops. The movement was more focused on reuniting fine arts and functional design while developing items that were more practical while incorporating the soul of artworks. Therefore, this essay will focus on how Bauhaus art influenced the super flat movement, which is the transition from traditional graphic design to modern graphic design. With the development of technology, presenting three-dimensional items on the two-dimensional becomes easier. However, the super flat is the mainstream now. We still can find something similar to the Bauhaus style.[Čapková, Helena.

Summary of the Bauhaus movement
Bauhaus movement is one of the most prominent art schools of the 20th century. The movement originated from Walter Gropius, who believed in bringing artists and craftsmen together for the utopian purpose. Walter was largely motivated by the architectural works of Frank Lloyd and designer William Morris. Bauhaus's approach to education and association between art, people and technology had a substantial effect on major continents such as Europe and the United States after its closure in 1932 under the harassment by Nazis. Bauhaus movement wanted to address variances between fine and applied arts while encouraging innovation, mass production and use of technology.[Čapková, Helena.

Even though the movement eliminated many aspects of traditional fine arts, it deeply sought to enhance the theoretical and intellectual approaches of these subjects. Therefore, it joined together most of the artistic and design elements that were more beneficial while the hierarchy of arts that stood at that time was discarded. Moreover, it refined most of the practical crafts such as textiles and interior designs by use of fine arts such as painting and sculpture. For example, Breuer and Marianne Brandt adopted the features of stylish minimalism in their furniture and utensils design. Similarly, Gropius and Mies integrated glassy international style, a critical feature in architecture up to date. Bauhaus's focus on experimentation and solving problems in the field of arts is another notable feature. In a nutshell, the Bauhaus movement has led to a change in the direction in fine arts as well as the advancement of the artistic process as a science research rather than history or literature.[Fisher, Joshua A.
