Art teacher is a teacher and since you stated it represents a different side of you than the other two teachers, it should replace one of the two redundant teacher’s recs.

D had two very different teachers. English, which is not here strength and head of science department, her strength. Each I am sure covered very different aspects of her.

Supplemental should be something completely different: coach, boss, supervisor on research project, scoutmaster overseeing eagle project. Note that each of those could not be sent in as a teacher req because they are not teachers. They can only go in as a supplement.

After, D was deferred by Yale, she contacted them about sending a supplemental rec. It would have been the band director who has known her 8 years and has overseen her in leadership position as assistant drum major and drum major. Her Yale AC specifically said “no”.

Obviously, you can do what you wish but I think you run the risk of not following instructions.

Note that 2x2’s was from child’s EC not child’s teacher.
