Will Berkeley's Arts Requirement Prevent Me From Getting In?

Since Berkeley is in the UC system, it has this arts requirement for applicants, which reads as follows:
“One yearlong course of visual and performing arts chosen from the following: dance, drama/theater, music or visual art.”

Since I don’t live in California, I didn’t know about this requirement so I didn’t take a full year class of art. However, I’ve taken two semester-long arts classes: one called “cinema studies” where we watched/analyzed movies, and one called “art studio” where we did various fine arts projects, such as painting and sculpting.

Is anyone familiar with Berkeley’s arts requirement? Would the fact that I have not taken a full year class of art prevent me from getting into the school, or would I be ok with my two (unrelated) semester classes?
