I think you may have misinterpreted the course requirements under VPA for the UCs.

“1 year required
One year of college-preparatory visual & performing arts required, chosen from one of the following disciplines: dance, music, theater, visual arts (e.g., painting, web/graphic design, film/video, inter/multimedia arts), or interdisciplinary arts.”

The UCs want a full year of the same discipline. That would be Ceramics 1 for the first semester, and Ceramics 2 for the second semester. The animation class would work the same way.

From another website at LAUnified: “A single yearlong approved arts course from a single VPA discipline: dance, drama/theater, music or visual art.”

A number of students take AP Art History because it is a yearlong course and gets an additional AP score/ grade.

I think if both semester-long courses are in visual arts (and I understand ceramics and animation to both be in visual arts), it works. From Subject requirement (A-G) | UC Admissions … “One yearlong course of visual and performing arts chosen from the following disciplines: dance, music, theater, visual arts or interdisciplinary arts — or two one-semester courses from the same discipline is also acceptable.” It’d be nice if their writing were consistent across their websites to cut down on confusion.
