Hi Nada

The best thing is to go online and look up colleges near you that offer courses and degrees in art or interior design. The college or university's website should list the requirements for admission to their program, that is, what you will need to show them in your art portfolio. You should also talk to your art teacher about your interests.

As for your other classes, it sounds like you are getting a well-rounded education, which is really good, because art related careers are not always just about art. It's good to know some history, be familiar with literature, have an understanding of science and human biology and so on. For example, understanding how the body works might help you choose an appropriate chair for an elderly client some day. Knowing about history might help you connect with a client who wants a certain historical "look" to his or her house. Having some knowledge about science might help you choose fabrics that don't fade in the sun as quickly as others. Please don't underestimate these "mandatory" subjects, they are all important to your education.

Best wishes!
