 | | The studies from Schlemmer's class, far from being realistic representations, clearly show an idealized image of man. In retrospective, it would seem that most of the teachers were rather interested in explaining the mechanics of the body, than developing an image of man beyond anatomy, or familiarizing the students with philosophical questions. |
| | In 1926/27, Oskar Schlemmer extended the life drawing classes to a course in general theory on the proportions of the human body, presenting a wide concept of man including formal, biological, as well as psychological and philosophical aspects. |
| | The emphasis on conformity is a typical example of the attempt to scientifically rationalize tuition during the Meyer era. |
