Should I take art?
by Brandon Makin
1. If I take one less class period then...
1.1. I may not have enough classes to meet the school's requirement of the minimum number of class periods each day.
1.2. I will have more free time.
2. Define the situation
2.1. I want to take art as one of my classes for school
3. Explore the alternatives
3.1. I could take another elective instead
3.1.1. Cross Country
3.1.2. French
3.2. I could have one less class period
3.3. I could take an acedemic class
3.3.1. Civics
3.3.2. Calculus
4. Consider the outcomes
4.1. If I do art then...
4.1.1. I will spend time doing something I am passionate about
4.1.2. I do not need another fine arts class, so it won't be filling any school requirements
4.1.3. If I go into an art-based major, I will have more experience and a better résumé.
4.2. If I do another class then...
4.2.1. I will be able to get another requirement for high school or college
