Unless you’re good at drawing, then you shouldn’t take it. It may seem good to college admissions because they might think that you’re a well-rounded student. But if you can’t get a 4, then there would be no point. I recommend you to go to the AP site and take a look at some of the AP Studio artworks that were submitted.

And I’m not sure how academically challenging your school is, but you should take more AP classes if you think you can handle it. Maybe it’s because my school is academically challenging and ranked 8th among the public schools, but a lot of juniors at my school take at least 4 AP classes and most of them take 5. Of course it depends on what college you want to go to, but I really recommend to take a lot of challenging classes. I wish the best of luck to you.
