This draft of a poster for “visual arts workshops” by Friedl Dicker-Brandeis was created in 1923-24 in Berlin, Germany. Dicker-Brandeis was a woman and a Jew who was murdered by the Nazi's during the Holocaust. She was very influential in the Bauhaus and personally instructed by Johann Itten, as well as drawing inspiration from influential artists and designers of the time like Theo Van Doesberg and Vassily Kandinsky. She believed in the integration of art into everyday life and was committed to the idea that art could contribute to social and cultural transformation. Her philosophy was influenced by the principles of the Bauhaus, which sought to bring together fine arts, crafts, and technology in a holistic approach.
Dicker-Brandeis was dedicated to fostering creativity and artistic expression in individuals, particularly in children. During her time at the Bauhaus and later as a teacher in various settings, she emphasized the importance of hands-on, experiential learning and the idea that art should be accessible to everyone. She taught art to children in the Jewish ghetto's and her work deeply impacted the discipline of Art Education.
