Is there any way to get in without a year of art?

<p>I know it's required but I never took a year and I was wondering if there was any way around it. My school only offers intro to art and drawing and things like that. There is no art history or anything like that. We do have photography classes but I applied twice and they were filled for both my junior and upcoming senior year.
Help?</p>

<p>Take a semester art course at a community college. My high school didn't offer a full-year art course (only ones were band and chorus which are not open to everyone, everything else is a semester), and after explaining this to a UC admissions officer, they said the best solution would be to take a semester art course at a community college, which will count as a year of art.</p>

<p>Ahh, thank you. Would a college course in Art History count? I am a horrible artist.</p>
