Junior Year Grades' Worth?

<p>I made an accout today because I feel a tad panicky after getting my first report card as a junior. I took honors and AP world freshman and sophmore year and my overall average for those two years of hs is a 96 with no Bs in any subject. Junior year is the most important year and my average dropped to a 93, which I know isn't horrible but I don't really know how to improve from it. I've studied more for AP spanish than I ever did for my previous spanish classes and I still only have an 84, a grade I totally deserve because of my B- tests. I don't know why I have a 86 in my Physics despite doing well on tests. I have A- in everything else. If my 3 AP classes aren't weighted i would barely have a 91, if it wasn't for my 100 in pre-calc I wouldn't have an A average. I've heard that colleges look for improvement , so I'm wondering how a decrease like this would affect me. </p>

<p>Actually I'm inclined towards a degree in Visual Arts, does anyone know if they value grades as much as talent? For example RISD, Parsons, Pratt.</p>

<p>Any feedback is much appreciated :)</p>
