On October 7th, Caldecott Medalist and author/illustrator of many excellent books for young people Mr. David Macaulay came to Dalton and talked about his new book, The Way We Work. He also discussed his creative process, what he learned working on various different projects, and why art and art education is crucial in anyone’s learning process. This event with the entire 7th grade was a Live WebCast and is now accessible (you’ll still have to fill out the registration form) via the web, here: http://www.visualwebcaster.com/event.asp?id=49504
Here are some pictures that we took to capture the morning with Mr. Macaulay, who not only talked to the room of 7th graders, answering questions from both our students and people from around the country, but also visited with other members of the community.
The Library Balcony was turned into a video broadcast control center.
Four microphones, a sound mixer, and a couple of video monitors on the work station.
