Will this fulfill the requirement of a fine art?

<p>I have been told by various college counselors, friends, parents, etc. that colleges place high value on whether or not a student has three important aspects: academic, participate in a sport, and participate in something in the fine arts. Unfortunately, as I do football and crew (rowing) all year long I am not able to participate in any school plays or the drama club (which is the one fine art that, not to brag, and I very good at). Consequently, for freshman year I did not participate in any fine arts (the academic and sports aspects I am doing very well in though). </p>

<p>For the next three years I am taking a television production class (takes place during school but is an elective) and this class will involve two aspects students can take part in: producing a full news program and/or making movies/shorts. I have excelled in the past during our middle school program and I know I will be very good (not to brag) at making movies and producing a full broadcast for the school (I am a very good actor)</p>

<p>I’d question the accuracy of that mantra. Academics is important, of course. But only like 60% of the student body played sports in high school, and probably less were into fine arts. In fact, I know plenty of people who did none of the above, but did a lot of politics and community service, for example. Just do what you can (and excel at that) and you’ll be fine. A more general, but absolutely accurate, mantra to substitute for that other one is: academics and extracurriculars. What the extracurriculars are doesn’t seem to matter much, if at all.</p>
