Things Figured Out

Finally we got Ty's schooling figured out!!!...For now. :)
He met with the BYU animation Dept. last week. He
took some of his art work, it ranged from things he did
in high school to things he's working on now. He met with
Kellie Looslie. Ty described his as a little intimidating, taller
than he is and a shiny head. (He shaves it) Ty was looking
for guidance and an honest opinion. He got it! He praised
Ty's talent. He told him he DEFIANTLY has what it takes.
He was very impressed with Ty's Christ, Joseph & Hyrum
picture. :) He gave Ty a lot of pointers and suggestions.
Kellie Looslie also advises at UVU in Orem. He suggested
to Ty that he apply there and take a semester or two of
art classes there to build his portfolio and that. He told him
he has great 3d-illustration. His shading on the Christ picture
is very good. Which is what Ty needed to hear! I am so
happy that Ty was able to meet with him so he can put a face
to his name and watch his progress! Since last Tuesday we
applied for UVU, and by Thursday he was accepted! So were
just working on sending his transcripts and all the finical aid stuff.
It's amazing how things work! Were grateful for the hand of the Lord
in our lives! UVU was not on our list AT ALL.
So our plan for now is to stay living in Riverton, for now in Mom's apt.
and Ty will get a bus pass and were going to try to get his classes
all on the same days so he hopefully only has to ride down 3 days a week.
(*Fingers Crossed*)
It's fun seeing Ty all excited about his art. He's loved drawing his whole
life, and hasn't had much time the last 4 or so years. But now he gets to
focus on it daily! He's got amazing talent and I love seeing his drawings.
He's going to do amazing!
