The school was raised to college status in 1910 and was renamed the ""Grand Ducal Saxon College of Fine Arts"". The development of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar was also strongly influenced by the which trained artisans in the handicrafts between 1907 and 1915.

By the following year their ranks had grown to include German painter, sculptor and designer Oskar Schlemmer who headed the theater workshop, and Swiss painter Paul Klee, joined in 1922 by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. A tumultuous year at the Bauhaus, 1922 also saw the move of Dutch painter Theo van Doesburg to Weimar to promote ""De Stijl"" (""The Style""), and a visit to the Bauhaus by Russian Constructivist artist and architect El Lissitzky.

In May 1922 he attended the International Congress of Progressive Artists and signed the ""Founding Proclamation of the Union of Progressive International Artists"". Kandinsky taught the basic design class for beginners and the course on advanced theory at the Bauhaus; he also conducted painting classes and a workshop in which he augmented his colour theory with new elements of form psychology. The development of his works on forms study, particularly on points and line forms, led to the publication of his second theoretical book (""Point and Line to Plane"") in"

In 1919 the buildings used by the former ""Kunstgewerbeschule"" and the neighbouring ""Hochschule für Bildende Kunst"" became the base of the newly founded Bauhaus art school.

By the mid-1920s the revolutionary period (1917 to 1921) when artists had been free to experiment was over; and by the 1930s only socialist realism was allowed.

In 1932, the school moved once again to Berlin. Due to the various changes in location and leadership, the Bauhaus school's artistic and political objectives continuously shifted, which caused the school to become financially unstable. Additionally, due to the increasing political pressures of the anti-modernist Nazi government, the Bauhaus shut down in 1933. Anni Albers was born in Berlin on June 12, 1899.

In 1925, Albers was promoted to professor, the year the Bauhaus moved to Dessau. At this time, he married Anni Albers (née Fleischmann) who was a student there.

It was this academy which Gropius transformed into the world-famous Bauhaus, attracting a faculty that included Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Bartning and Wassily Kandinsky. In principle, the Bauhaus represented an opportunity to extend beauty and quality to every home through well designed industrially produced objects.

The rise of the profession of industrial design is usually placed here. Following this lead, the Bauhaus school, founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919, redefined the architectural bounds prior set throughout history, viewing the creation of a building as the ultimate synthesis—the apex—of art, craft, and technology. When modern architecture was first practiced, it was an avant-garde movement with moral, philosophical, and aesthetic underpinnings.

In the pamphlet for an April 1919 exhibition entitled ""Exhibition of Unknown Architects"", Gropius proclaimed his goal as being ""to create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions which raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist."" Gropius' neologism ""Bauhaus"" references both building and the Bauhütte, a premodern guild of stonemasons.

The Bauhaus only remained in Weimar until spring 1925 when it was forced to relocate to Dessau for political reasons. There the Bauhaus began a new, important chapter as a college of art and design.

Gropius was also a leading architect of the International Style. Born in Berlin, Walter Gropius was the third child of Walter Adolph Gropius and Manon Auguste Pauline Scharnweber (1855–1933), daughter of the Prussian politician Georg Schwarnweber (1816-1894).

The acceptance of modernist design into everyday life was the subject of publicity campaigns, well-attended public exhibitions like the Weissenhof Estate, films, and sometimes fierce public debate.
