<p>nopoison, my guess is that your son is exactly the kid that these schools are looking for! </p>
<p>My son never seriously entertained going to art school even though he is quite talented and loves to draw and paint. Finding that the art department at Williams is as strong as it is was a real bonus. The instructors, who are all accomplished artists, are extremely process oriented and have the facilities to reinforce their skills. This year he's taking a tutorial (two kids, one professor) that involves portraiture in all media. This is the kind of thing that Williams excels at.</p>
<p>Well, no choice now but to wait it out. Good luck to you all.</p>
