Bauhaus: Building the New Artist

Considered one of the most influential schools of art and design of the 20th century, the Bauhaus forged a unique educational vision that blended theory with practice in order to cultivate a new generation of artists and designers.

Conceived in tandem with the Getty Research Institute's gallery exhibition, the online exhibition Bauhaus: Building the New Artist offers an in-depth look into the school's novel pedagogy. Highlighting student explorations, masters' theories, and a variety of colorful media drawn from the GRI's archives, the project culminates with three interactive exercises inviting viewers to immerse themselves in surprising aspects of Bauhaus curriculum.

Co-developed with Nick Hulea. We created a theme utilizing Quire (Hugo), Bulma framework and based it off the Quire Starter theme that we built. We had to write lots of custom shortcodes and templates that are specific to this site. We also took full advantage of Netlify and it's CI/CD tools to run integration tests of each feature or changes we made.
