do you think it would be necessary to retake the class

For an art class, no. If this was algebra or precalculus I would be far more concerned. However, assuming that you are not planning on being an art major, I would not worry about it. Even if you were going to be an art major, different art teachers are going to have very different styles and a “style clash” can and does happen.

I happen to have gotten a couple of very bad grades in art classes in university (a C and a D), and this did not seem to have any impact at all on my graduate school admissions (as a math major). It did have a big impact on my overall undergraduate GPA, but this did not seem to matter. I did not retake either. I still got into a top university for my master’s. Since you got the C as a freshman in high school, I think that it is even less important.

I would not retake it. I would not worry about it.
