Next Step Bauhaus photo shoot

At the Bauhaus workshop at Borups Højskole Copenhagen the students were given an obstruction. They were put together in groups for about two hours and given a photo challenge. The task was to shoot their own interpretation of some of the famous photos of the Bauhaus students. Our students threw themselves into the challenge with great creative spirit and did very well. We loved the photos they made. Take a look!

Next step Bauhaus

Last week Lower East facilitated a Bauhaus workshop at Borups Højskole Copenhagen in the Next Step class. The students were introduced to the Bauhaus movement by a presentation and a movie about the Bauhaus school. We followed in the footsteps of the famous Bauhaus designers and the Next Step students created amazing work inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy – starting up with exercises on simple geometrical forms – ending up with great experiments and designs of playful 3-dimensional calendars, architectural sketches, a mobile of Bauhaus letters, cool playing cards, amazing counting books for children, a great multifunctional chair/bench/resting place and a fabulous jumping jack. At the end of the week the students created an exhibition. We had a good vibe in the class in the universe of primary colors – red, blue, yellow – triangles, squares and circles. Thank you all for your great involvement, enthusiasm and sharing your thoughts and ideas with us. We are looking forward to seeing some of you this week in Berlin and visiting the Bauhaus Archive with you.

Careful Steps

Lower East are in Copenhagen these weeks, teaching at Borups Højskole (folk high school). The students at the Next Step, are working on application tasks for the design & architecht schools, for the Mediehøjskole in Copenhagen and for several other creative schools in Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm. Tough and demanding times for the ambitious students, some of them are even applying for two or three schools at the same time.

What a thrill working with them. We are having fun, long hours, break throughs (and some smaller break downs). Fantastic ideas and concepts, cool design & funky posters are popping up in a impressing speed. Crossing our fingers, that all of you will pass the eye of the needle.

It’s never to late to go to ’højskole’. Check out www.borups.dk
