The Bauhaus School's Methods
"The Bauhaus does not pretend to be a crafts school; contact with industry is consciously sought...the old craft workshops will develop into industrial laboratories: from their experimentation will evolve standards for industrial production...The teaching of a craft is meant to prepare for designing for mass production. Starting with the simplest tools and least complicated jobs, he gradually acquires ability to master more intricate problem and to work with machinery, while at the same time he keeps in touch with the entire process of production from start to finish." 

-Gropius (http://www.chrissnider.com/academic/bauhaus/pages/

-Recruited teachers who were working to advance their field (cutting edge)
-Focused on designing first rate functional buildings first and foremost
-The students should study a variety of fields to be able to incorporate both the fine and applied arts into their professional work (whatever field they choose).
-Workshop environment encouraged students to actively work at projects, and with teachers, rather than sit back and learn theory. 
-Students should not be decorators, but innovators, creators, and should be well equipped for any design challenge.
