Is a free period frowned upon?

I agree with those who suggested taking a class just for the interest of it. My D has always loved art, and used her free period this year to take drawing and painting at school. She is also doing 4 APs and math. She is a creative person, and I am so glad she is doing the class, because it is the only class of the day that isn’t stressful, where she enjoys what she learns and does, and because there is zero pressure to do well. So she enjoys it all the more and is excelling. Whatever you do, do not just squander a free period. If you don’t take a class, do what others suggested.
