So liek, I'm in 9th grade, in a Private school, going to take AP next year.
However, I'e already decided what I want to take as my career. Now, I want to ask what kind of classes I should take.

So liek, let me be more specific.

I plan to be an Art Major, or rather, I plan to take Graphic Art to be a Video game art designer, and of course, plan on taking art. I know I should take Geometry and English, since they should help me out, but I want to know if there's other classes that could contribute towards my goal. Any Ideas?

Misspelled "Like" on purpose. Yeah, I like to write it like that.

If you want to be a graphical designer for video games, you may want to get more familiar with computers. This kind of thing varies from school to school, I think, but we had to take a computer introductory course before we could take other computer courses. There is a course in my school that is specifically dedicated to computer graphics, and there most likely would be one in yours, as well. Other than that, I believe there are different types of video game art designers. Some people draw the frames, some people design landscapes and levels, other people may add meshes and/or textures. Your guidance counselor would probably have a better answer to your question than me, though. Heh.

all comp. classes you can take^^

So liek, you should look into whatever arts courses they are offering at your school. Different high schools offer different types of arts courses, ranging from drama to graphical arts to music. Look into collages/universities and look at their prerequisites and their recommended courses.

Consider taking biology, to study the intricacies of life. Consider taking philosophy, for some introspection.

Yeah, I'm already planning to take some Computer Engineering as well, as a first course, then going into Graphic arts. But as far as I can see, yes, I'm taking art and computers, Not sure about creative writing, and philosophy...Idon'tknow. o.O

Hmm. Biology. Isn't Biology more a course for Medicine? o_O
