Is skipping Art I a big deal?

<p>So my school makes Art I a prerequisite for taking other art classes. I want to take Printmaking II but I’ve never taken Art and my counselor says that I can skip it as long as our Art teacher gives her consent(other kids have accidentally been put into the class before so its not abnormal). She said it’s fine, but do you think colleges will see this as a discrepancy on my transcript, or do you think there will be gaps in knowledge since I’ve never taken Art?</p>

<p>I want to be sure since my counselor says seniors schedules have to be finalized and cannot be changed at the beginning of the school year. Any input is much appreciated. Feasibly I can take Art I and Printmaking II at the same time but I think that’ll be even worse on my transcript.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s really a big deal unless you’re applying to an art school, to be honest. As long as you have some sort of fine arts credit, it won’t really matter to colleges.</p>

<p>Are you good at art? Art isn’t a core class so you should be ok.</p>

<p>No, any art produced by me usually features stick figures. That’s a relief, I don’t have to worry about skipping Art I then.</p>
