<p>I disagree that art classes will really hurt your college admissions, but I do think the classes are very easy and everyone can get an A if they try. If you don’t plan to do something art-related or if you have no art ECs, it might look better if you had taken a rigorous class during that space.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if your ECs are all very art-focused (art awards, volunteering in art programs, etc.), choosing art classes in high school is probably expected.</p>
