<p>I got a B in 3D Design (a basic art class) my freshman year. This caused me to not recieve an academic letter my freshman year and lowered my gpa. Will this affect my college applications?</p>
<p>Yes. Colleges will look at this and they will say "this kid was a failure at Art because he got a B and therefore we must conclude that he will be a failure in life"</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>haha no but seriously</p>
<p>It screws your gpa a tad, but it shouldn't be too important unless you're applying to an art institute...that would be unfortunate...LOL</p>
<p>i hate when useless classes give you "bad" grades...i always got a b in p.e. both semesters freshman and sophomore year...only b/c all my friends were always in my pe classes and we always just screwed around. nevertheless, it brought down my gpa.</p>
<p>yeah thats how it was for me in art. my friends were in it and we all just messed around..and imnot that artistic so that hurt a little bit. but we never got any grades in that class on ANYTHING and on my midquarters i just had a Satisfactory instead of a letter grade.</p>
<p>i have art this year, and i used to think i was a crappy artist...but it's really surprising to see what you can achieve when there aren't any distractions around (aka gossipy friends :)..i actually got one of my 'pieces' displayed. even my parents were shocked.</p>
<p>on my report card, I always get S-...I don't know why...I try hard and am up to date on the assignments...the comment the teacher put on the report card is always "doesn't utilize class time effectively..." I was like what the fuc???</p>
<p>^^^ lol..after I got a B in art in 6th grade I just kind of gave up on it and my dreams on becoming a rollercoaster designer :(.....Oh well. I was too young to think about jobs anyway.</p>
<p>Well, students shouldn't take art if they think it'll be an easy A. This all depends on the school, but don't ever expect to get a 100% in an art class unless you are an absolutely amazing artist. :D</p>
<p>I got an 83% last quarter in my Drawing/Painting 1 class because I'm so slow with projects. It's actually alot of work for me, but at least it's fun work.</p>
<p>this is exactly why i NEVER take art at school.
unfortunately, my school doesn't release GPA's or rankings ... those bastards</p>
