Congratulations, Older Son!
March 03, 2009
Older son found out this weekend that he was accepted to the Art & Design program in the NC State School of Design. They only accept 130 freshmen in the School, and only 30 in the Art & Design program (1200 applied). We've been waiting on pins and needles since his interview in January.
Above is a sculpey creation he made for a Christmas present last year. It's about 2 inches high.
Here is another one, about 1 1/2 inches high. He brought one of the sculpey creations along as part of his portfolio, but I don't have a photo of that one.
He used to doodle all through the margins and between the problems in his math books. I had no idea, back then, that the doodling would have been just as important (or maybe more) than the math for getting into college!
The Sand Rat's Apprentice was in his portfolio, along with being on his blog, Hamjamser.
As was The Palace of Madmen:
If you'd like to see this in more detail, click on the picture at his post on Hamjamser, and you can see a larger version.
Wow - that is such an accomplishment! Tell him congratulations. You shoudl be one proud mama. :)
