From 1919 to 1922 the school was shaped by the pedagogical and aesthetic ideas of Johannes Itten, who taught the Vorkurs or ' preliminary course ' that was the introduction to the ideas of the Bauhaus.

Johannes Itten ( 11 November 1888 – 27 May 1967 ) was a Swiss expressionist painter, designer, teacher, writer and theorist associated with the Bauhaus ( Staatliche Bauhaus ) school.

Together with German-American painter Lyonel Feininger and German sculptor Gerhard Marcks, under the direction of German architect Walter Gropius, Itten was part of the core of the Weimar Bauhaus.

From 1919 to 1922, Itten taught at the Bauhaus, developing the innovative " preliminary course " which was to teach students the basics of material characteristics, composition, and color.

Itten was a follower of Mazdaznan, a fire cult originating in the United States that was largely derived from Zoroastrianism.

In 1919, when Gropius founded the Bauhaus, Marcks was one of the first three faculty members to be hired, along with Feininger and Johannes Itten.

He was fired because his work was deemed unsuitable by the Nazis, with the result that several works were in the infamous exhibition of " degenerate art " in Munich in 1937, along with that of other Bauhaus artists, among them Herbert Bayer, Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer and Lothar Schreyer.

In 1919 Swiss painter Johannes Itten, German-American painter Lyonel Feininger, and German sculptor Gerhard Marcks, along with Gropius, comprised the faculty of the Bauhaus.

This influence culminated with the addition of Der Blaue Reiter founding member Wassily Kandinsky to the faculty and ended when Itten resigned in late 1922.

In 1923, Moholy-Nagy replaced Johannes Itten as the instructor of the foundation course at the Bauhaus.

Itten opened a private art school in Vienna, using the work and textbook of Eugène Gilliard as a base.

From Hölzel, Itten adopted a series of basic shapes ( the line, the plane, the circle, the spiral ) as a means from which to begin creation, and the use of gymnastic exercises to relax his students and prepare them for the experiences that were to occur in the class.

In 1920 Itten invited Paul Klee and Georg Muche to join him at the Bauhaus.

In 1924, Itten established the “ Ontos Weaving Workshops ” near Zurich, with the help of Bauhaus weaver Gunta Stölzl.

Itten had been the first to associate color palettes with four types of people, and had designated those types with the names of seasons.
