Why do some people treat art class as if it's a joke?

<p>if you’re serious about art, it’s one thing, but most art classes and electives are just easy A’s where you don’t learn anything. taking AP art is different then, say, taking a Ceramics class where all you have to do is make a bowl out of clay. no one really cares if you can do the latter</p>

<p>it’s a shame though, because art classes largely vary from school to school. more intense or rigorous art classes should be classified as accelerated or maybe honors classes. just because it’s art doesn’t mean it’s “not worthy.” unfortunately, most art classes in American high schools ARE unworthy, and that’s where the generalization comes from.</p>
